Ah, Due South. The BBC used to show it, and I remember being home a year or so after I moved to London and watching it in my parents' living room. I was laughing at certain bits and my mother, who wasn't watching the TV, because she was through the (huge) arch into the kitchen, was laughing too. Then she said "what are you watching?"

"Due South" I replied.

"But isn't that about Canadians?"

There followed a brief explanation that yes, apparently Canadians could now mock themselves. She then laughed her head off - I think it wasn't the concept that Canadians had a sense of humour, as that it was just so refreshing to watch them send up their own stereotypes instead of relying on others to do it.
