  1. Oh come on, that was (and still is) funny :thumbsup:

    The Good Life and that thing with Wendy Craig in were like comedy series made by Waitrose.

    Earlier godawful “whimsical” comedy about a middle class unfulfilled housewife, unappreciated by her two sons and husband, and courted by a rather pathetic lovelorn idiot who is driven around in a Roller by a chauffeur who dispenses pearls of wisdom to his employer. Mirth most certainly doesn’t ensue, again :rolleyes:

    I know Rich, I love it. Proper saucy British humour :D (Allo Allo obviously, not the others)

    It has a silliness at its core. Pure quality. Carla Lane, pay attention!!!
     
  6. Ones that have passed the test of time are Graham Linehan's stuff. The man's a genius. Father Ted and the IT Crowd haven't dated at all.

    Don't remember the first episodes but, anyone for
    "Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin"?
    "Rising Damp"?
    Did everything Leonard Rossiter ever do have "rise" in the title??
    Oh no ... "2001 A Space Odyssey" :rolleyes:

    Spot on. He was supposed to be working on a Father Ted musical with Neil Hannon (the Divine Comedy), the fella who wrote My Lovely Horse . Don’t know if that has been shelved or is still in the offing.
