"Get some in
"
I remember that one very well.
Pretty sure it was Robert Lindsay's TV debut show.
They brought a stage show version of it to the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, either 1978 or '79.
At the time I was working on the door of a little jazz club and most of the cast used to come in after the show. I got to know Tony Selby quite well and the kid who played the vicars son was a wizard with a penny whistle.
Karl Howman who replaced Robert Lindsay for the stage show was also one of the regulars. |

"I’ll throw this one in I’ve caught on re-runs:
Hancocks half hour (he was a comedy genius) Starring Tony Hancock, Sid James, Kenneth Williams"
And Bill Kerr my favourite episodes are the unexploded bomb and when the Americans came to town. |

Wow, reading all of the above got me thinking - there's been some real crap on British tv 
I'll add to the mix - Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em and Brushstrokes. Both truly atrocious |

"On the buses. That was a proper TV show. When Britain was a beautiful country and well respected by its people"
Yeah, we didn't have rapists, murderers, football hooligans, bent politicians, extreme racism and corrupt police forces back in the those days, did we? |

I got the part as an extra for one episode of In Loving Memory. I have it on DVD & bore everyone to death pointing to my split second on screen 
I watched a recording of N.U.T.S. at YTV with Roy Kinnear. Silly but only lasted 6 episodes. |

One of the funniest and most obscure. Starred Robert Lindsey. David Threfall and James Ellis. Used to watch years ago when I lived in London.
'Nightingales' |

Ever Decreasing Circles. The rapport between Richard Briers character and Peter Egan’s character was very cleverly written.
I also had a soft spot for Keeping Up Appearances. Hyacinth’s attempts to leave her siblings behind were generally very funny. |

Some Mothers Do Ave Em was brilliant, and the fact that Michael Crawford did all his own; incredibly dangerous at times, stunts makes it all the greater....just my opinion |
