British are much better at this kind of stuff than us.

When you have watched enough of this show you just fall so in love with Humphrey's character more or less anything he says is hilarious. Bernard and Jim come up with some great one liners, but Humphrey he opens his mouth and I start laughing, Hawthorne owns that character like no actor has ever owned any other character, so natural, the more you watch the more you love him. I sense that he really enjoys playing the character as well which probably adds to the whole feel.

Reality is no far off from this show. I don't know if that's a positive or a negative!

Can anyone out there post 'A Conflict of Interest' on You Tube please; very pertinent given the present economic climate?

My family are friends of the writers of this show

"The rule and measure of duty is not utility, nor expedience, nor the happiness of the greatest number, nor State convenience, nor fitness, order, and the pulchrum. Conscience is not a long-sighted selfishness, nor a desire to be consistent with oneself; but it is a messenger from Him who both in nature and in grace, speaks to us behind a veil, and teaches and rules us." -- John Henry Newman

I really like to think that the reallity is like this. And Sir Humphrey is probably the best character ever!
