What's your favourite old comedy programme?

I love goodness gracious me, wish it was still on, they probably have added a fake audience laughing when it use to be a real audience back in the day |

I first heard the sketch on R4, very late on a Friday night as I was driving back from a night out.
They are doing all the alternative comedy of the 80s and 90s now. I feel very old.

"I still love Waiting for God, Stephanie Cole in it is brilliant. 
She always ended up playing much older than her age. "
Yes she did, she played a really old lady in Open all Hours and that was years ago. Shows just what a good actress she is. |

"Fork handles. Enough said.

Be careful of the Phantom Flan Flinger! Used to have me and my brother screaming with laughter every week.
I miss only having three channels to choose from.

"The Morcambe and Wise breakfast sketch.
That is a classic.
"
The four candles sketch was one of my first thoughts too.
Oh, and the dead parrot sketch.
I don't like most Monty Python but the dead parrot sketch is brilliant. |

I loved Jam even though it was dark as hell - in fact anything Chris Morris has ever been involved with. I do like my comedy and faves also include Kids in the Hall and Big Night Out from when I was a teen then Spaced, The Fast Show and not forgetting Linehan with Father Ted, Big Train and The IT Crowd. I used to watch old comedies like The Ladykillers with my grandad as well and loved those too. |

"I loved Black Books.
Bill Bailey is great "
Bill Bailey stand up! Awesomely bizarre with so many tangents. Mix that with the fact he can literally play any instrument. He's a modern day jester. |

"were all of these comedies that people are listing really on bbc2,?"
I thought the op said Lickety was watching BBC2 not that she was asking only about comedy on BBC2
Could be wrong though. |

The Day Today was the Beeb; I think Brasseye and Jam were Channel 4 and Film 4 were involved with 4 Lions. |

I asked generally bu I'm watching the BBC2 programme and realising how many started out on BBC2 and that I have spent most of my life watching and laughing at comedies from BBC2.

Some episodes of Friends still make me laugh.
Can't pin point any comedies that really made me laugh.
Never really got Vic and Bob, bit young for Morcombe n Wise or the two ronnies.

Three brilliant race sketches from the Goodness Gracious Me team:
A modern re-working of the "I look up to him but down on him" sketch
A great UKIP sketch.
The Delhi Mail editors meeting.
I really liked Scary Poppat too.
Lots of good material and ending with Blurred Lines - stop thinking with your dick.
