Was sooooooo disappointed when the BBC dropped it after just 3 series. He’s an absolute Genius Long Live The Count.....
@gavindouglas3196
Because he is white
@cyclist68
@Gavin Douglas The Mash report got 4 years.
@Alji3dom
Genius modern old time style. But he is actually unique in his own right. Never get tired of these comedy gems.
@MrDavey2010
@Gavin Douglas so true!
@maxbacon4828
@cyclist68 Should have been with hard labour!.
@anthonylindley2234
God, I can hardly keep upright for laughing. Why isn't this man more widely appreciated?
@ericlyon1425
because he is made for radio and your imagination...it doesn't transfer to tv
@doglifehub
@eric lyon I absolutely love the TV show, but I'd never listened to the radio version. He was a completely new character to me. My wife and I are currently watching the 3 seasons on Netflix, and have not laughed so much in a long time 😅
@Elementa2006
As someone who's actually from Egypt, this was hilarious 😂.
