"I used to love the original Randall and Hopkirk, then Reeves and Mortimer did a new version and ruined it for me."
Oops, sorry - not a comedy, but a great show. |

"The liver birds
George and Mildred.
Mind your language
Only when I laugh x "
I was really surprised to find out the other day that "George" (Bryan Murphy) is still alive! He looked old in George and Mildred and that was about 40 years ago. Yootha Joyce died in 1980. |

"Sorry, I hated Dads Army..... but.... hated Only Fools and Horses even more 
Just didn’t find either series funny at all.... in a minority I know  "
You're not alone. I hated Only Fools and Horses too - I could never understand what was funny about dole fiddling criminals. |

Lots of shows and films, both comedy and serious, use a crook as the lead. You root for them cos you wish you had that little rebellious streak in you too or cos you see them taking from those who are getting rich just as immorally but within the law or cos you start to see them not just as criminals but as people who made mistakes, just like we all do or were dealt a bad hand and ran out of choices. |

He worked for his brother still didn't claim the dole and neither did Del which you been saying you really need to watch them all be before passing judgement. |

It wasn't a judgement, just a throwaway comment about a lowbrow comedy show. I really don't care that much, if at all. |

I saw an episode of On The Buses this morning on Spike. I think the films were a lot better than the tv series. |

Brilliant writing, brilliant characters,but it was Arthur Lowe,capt.Manwairing held everything together, fantastic character acting.
Watched the remake they made a couple of years back,all reasonable actors but the show was utter bollox.
Make new shows,don't recast old ones. |

There were so many classics back then.. Dads army, still love it today, the good life, yes minister, muppet show, citizen smith, reggie perrin.. Love thy neighbour, this was a funny one in a sense, in that it was seen as racist but actually it was poking fun at the white man.. Slovenly, scruffy, base, not that intelligent whereas on the other side you had intelligent, sharp dressed, smoooth in the right way etc... But it will never be shown again, i m sure.. Aint half hot was brill |
