Dads' Army non-fan here too. I've seen the actors stumble over lines a few times ,and I know it was a more innocent time ,but to cream your knickers over 'you stupid boy' is being pleased terribly easily.

I forgot Bread was popular so that's the clear winner for me. Facking actually hated that show.

I saw an old episode of Please Sir not long ago out of curiosity to see how it had aged, my God that was as dire as it gets.
|

By:
Bread was facking dire.
|
|
By:
I enjoyed bread at the time, but I was just a kid. It is a god awful programme
|
|
By:
trouble with Dad's Army was the writing imo. Shouldn't be over reliant on catchphrases and slapstick and jones running round in his undergarments etc not with such good actors and characters. It was still v.good, but far from faultless.

That is a very worrying list. Care in the community is clearly failing if Last Of The Summer Wine, Dinner Ladies, The poxy Royle Family and The Office are above Partridge.

Anyone remember High and Dry with Bernard Cribbens?
|
|
By:
all these lists and choices only add up to 1 thing and that is that all people have different tastes and opinions, some off these programmes listed make me cringe whereas others were top notch. I for example think, [ now its my turn to get shot} think peter kay is not very funny at all. yet tommy cooper and benny hill were hilarious all about taste imho.
|
|
By:
never saw early doors so cant comment the office to me was utter pish where as red dwarf absolutely hilarious,.but red dwarf did'nt take off until the second series and it wasnt something you could turn on and find funny unless you knew the history/background of the characters and from what i saw of the office it seemed the same sort of thing that you needed to know the history

go into the local station and be prepared to stay 15-20 mins or if you let me know the dates and time you
would like to travel,how many of you i can have a look a work tomorrow if you wish thinly veiled need to test out my lock picking skills |
|
By:
thanks very much wits but no worries,its just a thought at the moment,but i like perth and i like train travel but in your own time there would be just me and her indoors
|
|
By:
How can neither Reginald Perrin nor Alan Partridge make the top 30? It makes me feel that most of the British public are imbeciles, it truly does.
|
|
By:
if you are going to book it cheapest to do it six to eight weeks in advance and be prepared to go/catch set times/trains
|
|
By:
great way to see the countryside for sure,a fine meal with lots of wine,love it.
|
|
By:
yes terry and have a good journey if you do go
|

By:
cheers and thanks for the advice

Why are some people on here so critical of the choices of others? One mans meat etc etc.
These list are making me feel old!!! I remember most of the ones mentioned. Dear John wasn't particularly funny as I remember, but starred Ralph Bates playing a character completely the opposite of the character who made his name, which was of course, George Warleggan in Poldark. The theme tune though was very catchy and I've never forgotten it (lool, how sad) Does anyone remember one from the early 70s called No Strings, I believe David Jason may have been in it? |

plaza patrol starring cannon and ball holding the fort matthew kelly and patricia hodge dire

I'm glad to see that Dear John has escaped most of your attentions. I believe it was John Sullivan's finest moment. It was not even in wiki's top 100 comedies (probably a good thing). So, yes it was full of of melancholy and sarcasm but I've never seen a better acted sitcom and such a star turn as the unforgettable Kirk st Moritz.

By:
I liked Dear John! I remember the disco when the only record they had was Shakin Stevens Green Door!
|
|
By:
Yes, Ralph was a pretty good DJ!

Boogaloo!

Dear John, by the time you read these lines, I'll be gone...........

None of them were really funny. It's just a few moments. OFAH a classic example of an overated comedy
