Classic British Comedy about gardening in a drought: "Man About the Hose"

Or heinlein's story about a weird glitch in a confuseing computer system: Stranger in a strange lan'

Heinlein also wrote a couple of S&M masterpieces.
His scottish cross dressing domination novel, The Mon is a Harsh Mistress, and the classic bondage novel Tie Enough for Love.

RAH also had the horror classic "Gory Road", and the biography of Manfred von Richthofen "The Red Plane".

The BBC's show of wishful thinking "The Graham Not On Show" - even though I quite enjoy it most of the time.

There is an opera about happy bovines: Lohengrin

[edited: for some reason I thought bovine referred to dogs, and only now I see my mistake]

It certainly was, I have no excuse for that, it wasn't late, I was sober, must have been a major slip of the brian.

Oh, will someone lend a hand to poor Brian! Slipping and dragging bunyip with him in the fall like that must have been painful!

Which reminds me of the famous movie The life of Bran - an interesting documentary on what our food was before it became our food.
