My top ten would be - Fawlty Towers Steptoe & Son (before your time, Andy, and a bit too far Sarf!) Blackadder Open All Hours The Good Life One Foot in the Grave Porridge Desmond's (again a throwback to Sarf London roots) No Place Like Home The Rag Trade (Anyone remember that from the 1960s? - Reg Varney, Miriam Karlin & Barbara Windsor) After last weekend, I really do think there's reams of material for another stunning comedy series in the offing!!! CB >|< P S Thanks again for the book. Andy - Just noticed this thread's age and who's on it - that's probably why it got nudged - so I could see his name. |

Sue, That's more or less how I feel about Only Fools.. I do like it but my enjoyment of it has been diluted somewhat due to the Beeb relying on it far too often to plug a gap in the TV schedules. |

I used to love Only Fools but they've been repeated so often I can't stand to see another episode! How come Allo' Allo' did'nt make the Top Ten - priceless!! Of the rest I can't decide between Dibley and Black Adder! Sue |

Totally agree Daren about porridge but weren't all the main cast brilliant? Richard Beckinsale, Fulton Mackay as Mr Mackay (favourite) and the others ? Its timeless Bob |

Has to Porridge for me, closely followed by Fawlty Towers. Ronnie Barker is brilliant as Fletcher. I used to love the Young Ones, when i was at school, but watching it now I can't see what was funny about it! God i'm turning into my Dad :-( Darren (Nuneaton) (feeling old) |

It has to be The Vicar of Dibley!! Both Hubby and I have gotten used to saying "Ahh! !No!No! "Fawlty Towers" we have seen various times over the last twenty years. Either I am getting old or Basil is getting on my nerves. The best of course has to be " hello! hello!" I don't t think that I spelt that right but I am sure someone will correct me. Lindy: -))) |

Open All Hours comes under the microscope tonight on BBC2, which I'll look forward to watching as it's one of my faves. I think though that Only Fools... has to be the favourite to win, it is a national institution and appeals to so many different cross sections of society. I personally don't think it's the best in terms of humour, but each sitcom isn't being judged on just humour alone. |

Crista, I'd definitely agree that those choices deserve a mention, in particular, Father Ted, which was dementedly brilliant and had many funny moments. "DRINK!!!" Also a fan of Alan Partridge, Spaced and Red Dwarf, although these would probably be deemed "cultish". |
