Is Clochemerle the only entry on IMDB that has 'pissoir' as a plot keyword?

Splendid novel, never seen the series...

they showed some xmas specials earlier this year ,great to watch .would be nice just to see them picked at random when theres half an hour spare in the schedules

over the last 5 or 6 years theyve used them as filler , sometimes not even in the schedules .the show that can be cancelled if the darts overruns ,or can be inserted if it finishes early , things like that .in constant rotation .about time they chose something else from the archives .just something to fill a gap in the schedule .

How many times in the last 5 or 6 years? Once, twice, hundreds of times? And when was the last time it happened.

As I said, I don't recall seeing it on BBC2, scheduled or unscheduled, for ages.
I thought they showed The Vicar of Dibley more often than The Good Life.

86 times and the last occasion was 26 oct 2007 at 1930 hours when the snooker was cancelled due to the blue chalk shortage the nation was having at the time ... ....i dont know ! all i know is its the only show bbc2 can seem to rustle up at short notice if theres a gap needs filling . theyve got a big archive so they could delve a little deeper and come up with something else

83% of all statistics are made up on the spot

And when has the snooker ever been cancelled? It seems to have been on continuously for the past 6 months

I just wish they would show The Good Life occasionally. As I may have mentioned, I haven't seen it for ages
