I wish more people watched this comedy masterpiece. I graduated in 1980 and I'm convinced Ricky met my classmate who is so much like Derek it scares me...but his name was Maynard and he didn't have an English accent.
Now that i think of it, I don't think he had ANY accent because he only knew, like, 9 words and 4 of them were TITS, TITTY, TITTIES, and F**K.
