I enjoyed Terry Pratchett's books and Tolkein was okay but most British 
sci-fi doesn't do it for me like Gaiman's 'Good Omens' or the whole 
'Doctor Who' thing. I think it's the attempts at humor. Benny Hill, Doc 
Martin, Monty Python, and so forth didn't impress me either. There seems 
to be a tendency to take what might be a funny gag and beat it to death.
