The germans is of course the best episode. The best scene is the fire alarm one as someone correctly mentioned. "Its a whole semitone higher" "Oh well of course if there was a fire alarm you would all be standing here"

26 Oct 13 22:18 I never found the FT racism any worse than the Porridge racism. That's because there wasn't any. Mind you, I thought Porridge was boring. |

typical response from a typical ****
That comment from Sideshowbob shows that he's no better than the ones that he condemns for calling others names. In fact he's worse then them, nobody swore in the clips from F/T. And sideshow bob is being malicious into the bargain. He can see the chip in someone else's eye, yet he can't see the plank in his own. |

As for the 70's in general I always say if I could choose a shop to or work in it would be Grace Brothers, if I worked on public transport I would want to work with Stan and Jack on the buses, if I shared a bedsit I'd want Paula Wilcox, Richard O'Sullivan and Sally Thomsett as neighbours, and if I needed the Police I'd want Columbo to turn up.
...and if I was arrested by Columbo, I'd want Petrocelli to defend me |

The comedies from the 70s were of their time. It's fruitless to apply "today's racism" with what was thought of as unacceptable in 1975.
Similarly, one of the best children's books ever written is called Little Black Sambo, written in 1899 - by today's terms, unnacceptable. However, in the day it was written, perfectly fine. In fact the woman who wrote it was very liberal for her day and wrote it as an allegory for the British presence in India. Got to view things differently depending on the era they were produced imo. |

FT is the GOAT, no question about it. Very hard to pick a fav episode with so many classics to choose from. But the one that has been in tears the most is The Psychiatrist - and it's not the dialogue (although brilliant), it's slapstick humour (Basil checking for the door handle fondling the Aussie bird's tits, and going up the ladder and knocking on the window) at its very best.
