Oh, the last mayor resigned due to the uncomfortable and unexplainable results of a Tax and Customs Bureau inspection on his office. I’m missing out on all the fun not living there.

Well there is certainly some kind of political manoeuvring involved - Barry Crouch was supposedly tipped for the next Minister before his son was implicated in the torture of the Longbottoms after all, after which Fudge got the job. That’s all I recall we learn in the books. I don’t remember much being mentioned about Scrimgeour’s appointment to the job of Minister, only that it comes after Fudge is sacked/resigns.

I believe this one is just called Bean...he goes to America as part of his career with an art gallery (“I sit in the corner, and look at the paintings.” - yes, he speaks) He stops with an American Family for the duration, does some stuff related to the unveiling of the new painting...hijinks ensue. Good times! It’s an older film than Mr. Bean’s holiday. Totally it’s more similar to the series. shame on Fawlty Towers. Blackadder is always quality. I personally hate Dr. Who though *shrug* *ducks rotten veg from @felice* You would probably like Victoria Wood (Rip ) she did a sketch show called Victoria Wood, As Seen on TV. Also a series called dinnerladies, and stand up too. Wonderful woman. i have never heard of Rita before. What kind of show is it and who is in it? Also blame hormones for everything, it’s a perk of pregnancy damnit! Craving chocolate? Baby wants it? Feeling irritable? Baby is cranky! Just finished the latest season of Rita - it’s sooooo gooood. It’s Danish but I enjoy the subtitles. There are some amazing one liners and underlying comedy but also drama and very talented actors. I think my favorite character is Hjordis. 5 hours ago, Buckwheat said: SO WEIRD, RIGHT? You probably have to lump Marvel women in here as well.
