Here's Alexei Sayle in top form. I suppose you either love him or not, humour being a very personal taste.

Plenty of Brit sketch shows which I love, from Monty Python, Harry Enfield. Alexei Sayle, probably Fry and Laurie my favorite, and this Greek restaurant sketch is one of the best IMO

One of the truly great American sitcoms. So many memorable characters, Chester, Chuck and Bob, Jodie, Jessica,Burt , Danny and of course Benson.

And before Outside Edge in the 80's with Simon Callow in Chance in a Million. Callow plays Tom Chance whose life is a series of improbable coincidences and Blethyn s his hapless girlfriend.

Brenda Blethyn probably now known as cop Vera was in a couple of great comedies in the 80's and 90's. Outside Edge , the story of cricketing folk, with Timothy Spall, Josie Lawrence among others.

Agree about Tucker swearathon. A rare instance of the American version being as good , better? hmmm? Don't know, but definitely as good. Veep of course. .

What can you say about this amazing show. A political masterpiece with Peter Capaldi incredible as Malcom Tucker. Capaldi's best work by far ,and i include Dr Who . He is very good in Who but his stories suck for the most part, not his fault of course. Capaldi's Tucker allegedly based on Tony...

Watching this at present for the first time. Heard great things about this . It's very watchable. Darren McGavin is excellent. The ' monsters ' are unusual and well researched by the writers using legends from ethnic folklore. So not bad at all.

Gerry Anderson masterpiece from 1970, his first series with live action rather than supermarionation. So many great ideas here, the fashions make it look a bit dated, but the stories are good so you don't care about the fashions. My favourite episodes; Timelash, Mindbender, Question of...

It's not politically correct but who cares!! Made in the days when people had a sense of humour. Examine it closely and you'll see its averagely funny only, but the joy is in knowing the boundaries of acceptability they knowingly broke down in creating this. .

Anyone remember this classic series? Richard O'Sullivan in the starring role, showing us a different side to his comedy roles in Man About The House. Richard Carpenter created this, to add to his impressive portfolio of shows that include Catweazle and Ghosts of Motley Hall. Guest appearances...

A little taster of the show from ep.1 Burnside shows us his cold hearted nature in this clip with Norwegian chief played by Olaf Pooley, Stahlman from Dr.Who Inferno.

I've bought the DVDS for series 1 , eight episodes, hopefully the second series will come out , but yes it's on youtube. The first episode Creed of Slaves is in my OP.

Really enjoying this series as a first time viewer. Edward Woodward is in almost Callan mode, as a journalist Kyle up against a vicious ultra right wing government and their all encompassing Peoples Control Department. Just seen episode called " Health Farm" which in actuality is a...

One of my favourite shows of all time. Leonard Rossiter was a genius, in fact the whole cast was superb. The Martin Clunes remake was very poor in my opinion. These guys agree with me; CJ " I didn't get where I am today without knowing which Perrin is better" Tom " I'm not really a Clunes...

Love this show. Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey are great together, also with Tamsin Grieg. .

Also liked their sketch show series, That Mitchell and Webb Look.

Excellent series, sorry it's over, but so many funny moments also one or two risqué scenes, even possibly sick, when Jeremy runs over his girlfriend's dog, and then tries to burn it and ends up eating it springs to mind.

Didn't know really where to put this thread, so here it is. Anyone watch the BBC quiz show Only Connect with Victoria Coren Mitchell? It's really a great idea, original, and makes you dig deep mentally to answer a single question. The Eggheads team, top quizzers themselves with their own show...
