Whoever voted for Miranda deserves a good beating with their own shoes.

Ah, a balanced view ...

Do you know anyone who buys the Radio Times? I thought most of us relied on online guides and smart TVs these days.

I might have found Mrs Brown mildly amusing when I was around 10 or 11, but really - wtf!! The most low brow dire drivel it has ever been my misfortune to have seen.

I despair for humanity

Apart from Phoenix Nights it's a bit meh....I'm actually stunned reading this x

Phoenix Nights is genius. Gavin and Stacey if you watch them back have some genuinely great moments. But as with any poll it will always divide opinion.

I never got what was so funny about Mrs browns boys.

It crowd tops the list for me

Mrs Brown's Boys is criminally unfunny. It's not only not humourous, but it sucks humour out of the room. Like a black hole.

Nope. Total recount needed if Father Ted isn't in there.

Is this thread tiny or far away?

Father Ted only ran till 1998. Otherwise it would be a total travesty.

I don't, and will never, get Mrs Brown's Boys. I feel like I'm missing the part of my brain that makes that funny.
