Yes, but you'd have to go into very 'special' shops to buy them! They'll be behind the counter, wrapped discreetly in brown paper...

Nicked this of the league yahoo group thingy: MODERN MEN SERVE UP TIMELESS LAUGHS
THOSE clever people at Talkback have cooked up the perfect recipe for a Channel 4 sitcom.
If you follow these instructions - using all the right ingredients - you too can come up with a hit series! Maybe...
First take a script written by the blokes behind Peep Show - Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong.
Then poach (see what we did there?) the director of Da Ali G Show, James Bobin, and add a pinch of The Office producer Ash Atalla.
Get him to sprinkle some magic on top and bake in a moderate oven for a couple of months...
Finally garnish with starring roles for the League of Gentlemen's Reece Shearsmith, Nathan Barley actor Nicholas Burns and Smack The Pony's Darren Boyd and hey presto! A guaranteed laughter-fest straight from your kitchen. OK, enough of the cooking references.
The sitcom they are working on is Modern Men. Set in Victorian times, it has a bunch of blokes being funny while wearing old-fashioned clothes. Hilarious!
Our man with the splitting sides says: "With a team like that, this show simply can't fail. Everyone's very excited."
Of course, Sam and Jesse are no strangers to success. They wrote The Thick of It and Smack the Pony.
A spokeswoman for Talkback - the company behind I'm Alan Partridge and Never Mind the Buzzcocks - says a pilot is underway. In time- honoured tradition, if it is successful, a series will follow.
She added: "It's about the fact that men worry about the same things no matter what era they are from. These characters are Victorian - but their concerns seem very contemporary."
(The Mirror 17/02/06)Victorian? Reece in VICTORIAN CLOTHES??? Bloody hell, we'd better get this shown over here!
