The last few posts have raised some good points:
American humour (or in Heil Honey's case a pastiche) is idiosyncratic and In my opinion doesn't travel well.
Subtlety and UK comedy don't go well together. I can only think of a handful of times when the two have worked well. Porridge and Dad's Army to name two.
Comedy and social issues are like water and electricity.
Galaxy didn't last long and Heil Honey was at the tail end of its lifespan. Maybe it was an attempt by BSB to get a bit of publicity before it ended.
I think the only Dickens work I've looked at is "Hard Times" which was not a barrel of laughs.
