Greenwing is absolutely one of my favourite programmes in the world, ever. Even though I can't watch the above scene without curling up into a ball of pain and humour and amazement and shock. I think it's one of the best scenes to define the series, as those are the emotions that you end up feeling throughout the majority of the show. But as well as being one of the funniest programmes I've watched, it can also be very deep and almost profound.
I'll stop with the videos now. I could literally put the whole series in a post. I just can't find any part of it that I don't entirely 100% love. They can put such meaningful conversations in such unpredictable places, and although many people consider it a "surreal" series, I find it one of the most true to life series' that I've ever seen.
The creators of the show have reffered to it as a "soap/sketch/sitcom", and there really is no other way to define it. There are dramatic turns of events and you get surprisingly involved with the characters and the storyline, however, there's also elements of sitcom as it has some lesser characters with more light-hearted storylines. The sketch aspect is very important to the show and many of the scenes feature improvisation from the actors. I would add another clip, but I'd never be able to narrow it down to just one that I want, so I'll be sensible.
