BBCThree and BBC2 are now screening the US hit comedy How I Met Your Mother. The show tells the story of a group of friends looking for love in New York, starring Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan, Cobie Smulders and Neil Patrick Harris. It is kind of a cross between Friends and American pie, with the characters certainly reminiscent of the hit movie, including Neil Patrick Harris in the Stifler role, as Barnie, the womaniser who frequents the baggage reclaim area of airports as a way of picking women up.
The humour is quite British, and I would hope that it takes off over here, as it is definitely worth a look, and has landed a second season in the US.
