Razz Thanks, but as mentioned, it's from Family Guy. As much as I don't like to reference shows like that which just copy local commercials from American TV that have gone viral, or just show a whole music video to waste time (see here), I couldn't pass it up.


I saw that particular episode of Family Guy (PTV) a few months ago and thought that it was hilarious, especially the bit where two-thirds of Dick Van Dyke's name was bleeped out. I never imagined that it would happen for real, though.

Still, at least VM didn't offer a Side-Boob Hour... Laughing

Unfortunately no channel on VM shows The Dick van Dyke Show, how great would that have been if it had actually been censored like that! Laughing

Indeed! Wink

As you'll know too if you read these boards, if you type in the name of a certain town in Lincolnshire it comes out like this: S***horpe. Suddenly, The Dick Van Dyke Show doesn't seem that potentially offensive... Laughing

On a thinly-related note, can anyone explain why ITV1+1 have had a double entry on the Sky EPG: one of which seems to have no listings?
