Oh, Where to start?

Not the 9 0'clock news was a classic with falling off your your chair with laughter moments in each episode, Good old 'Monty Python' has to be there together with 'Ripping Yarns', and Fawlty Towers. 'A bit of a do' was an absolute hoot as was 'Dinnerladies' writeen by the incomparable Victoria Wood and starring her and the hilarious Julie Walters. The Morcambe & Wise show is still hilarious and hasn't really dated, but then their humour was timeless.................. anyone who hasn't seen them preparing breakfast to the well known stripper tune has missed an absolute gem! I could go on, but won't!

I'm probably showing my age when I mention"Hancock's Half Hour" (which wasn't as good as the earlier radio version), "Steptoe and Son", "The Tellygoons" (which nobody but me seems to remember), "Not Only, But Also", "Till death Us Do Part" (which was probably the most controversial British comedy programme of the sixties).

Sadly, the BBC, in its wisdom, doesn't seem to have kept copies of many of these programmes.

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.

I still say "Great. Supah" all the time. "I didn't get where I am today by..."

Reading all of these replies just makes me want to be in England! Cursed all... I'll just have to convince my boyfriend to scrimp and save with me over the next year to visit. *sigh*

Has anyone revisited their old favorites?

I've found that when I attempted to watch Are You Being Served? again after years and years it just... wasn't... funny. Well, wasn't as funny as I remembered. Keeping Up Appearances still gives me giggles, but I find that I can relate more and more to those characters as I grow up. You know, I guess I should watch some more AYBS? now that I've worked in retail - may give me a different spin.

What about Waiting For God? I enjoyed Are You Being Served, but it finally wore its humour out on me.Waiting For God is one of my favourites by far.
