Tibb's favourite British sitcom (heat 5 the 1960s and 1970s)
 

Choose upto 5

None of us were alive

Me neither, only I'm not ignorant of the past.

That was torture.

I feel shame having to snub Hancock, Alf Garnett and The Good life.

Yeah agreed i wanted to pick much more than 5 there .

The Godfather of The British Sitcom. Everything that followed owes a debt to Steptoe and Son

Yeah those really important historical events.... The Likely Lads and Butterflies....

What do you know? You know nothing.

Aye

bloody hell that was murder to choose

Reggie Perrin
Likely Lads
Rising Damp
Fawlty Towers
The Good Life

( i watched the Good LIfe last night as it goes)

Fletch - "Do you know who made our raspberry blamange last week?" "Riggs, and he's in here for poisoning"

Godber - "Did he really"

Fletch - "Yeah! he's a cause celeb in his home town of Newcastle under Lyme, come to think of it, most of his relatives are under Lyme now"

Godber _ "Is that why they call him, arsenic Riggs?"

Fletch - "Oh no! that's because he once sat on a razor blade"

Rising Damp:

“Suppose you come from an old family.
Yes.
Yes, born to it. It was the same in war time. You know, my old captain, he came
from a good family. Not like these tuppenny ha'penny 'gentlemen' you get
nowadays. He always carried a walking stick. Smoked a pipe. I never saw him
ruffled. Whenever Jerry opened up he'd just lean on his stick and say ' where
do you think yhat is coming from, Sergeant?' Everyone else would be diving for
cover. Not the captain.
What happened to him?
...got blown up by a shell.”

Love Rigsby, probably my second favourite character behind Alf Garnett. Yet I chose neither of those two's sitcoms in this poll. Too many good shows in this poll.

where's mind your language?

Some classic childhood memories sparking in my head just reading those titles.

We used to sing the tune to butterflies when my mum was serving up dinner.

Didn't make the cut.

Just for you.

The skelp on the lug usually came just before the 2nd verse.:joker:

Thanks alf:blush:

Parm, I changed my mind, Dalglish was better than Keegan. I was wrong.

Be happy that you are correct now.

Was it the hair that made you think Keegan was better?

Don't know most of them but chose one's I've seen and liked episodes of on TV channels showing old programmes.

Obviously Fawlty Towers, it's borderline impossible to actively dislike it!

All of the Man About The House Television Universe shows.

George and Mildred being King.

Sure, my vote for that was for "all of them" :D

Well, Robin's Nest is my least fave, but I do like all three.

Then get to know most of them, they're all out there, the only person stopping you is yourself.

Better than the garbage on the television these days. You never know, you may learn to laugh again.

Where’s Good Times?

Anyhow, Open All Hours.

Arkwright: - "I can see that on the side of a lorry - Ark-Ark-Arkwright's Fai-fai-fai-famous Ter-ter-ter-treacle Ter-ter-ter toffee"

Granville: - "You'll never get all that on the side of a lorry!"

Proud I'm the only person to vote for It aint half hot mum. I loved that show as a kid. Sadly it will never be shown on British TV again.

I would have liked to vote for it, I love it too,.just that this was a tough poll, I could have voted for at least 10.

My new years eve nickname as a kid was gangadin cause I was the wee boy carrying the whiskey and cans for my dad, and his pal, who i called uncle dave.

The look on my biology teachers face as we all walked in in my first year at high school was a sight to behold.

My dad and his dad were neighbours so it ended up a traditional thing...something to do with being in the war together or something.:shrug:

Michael Bates was fantastic as Bearer, but Michael sadly passed away after series 5. It was a huge character for the show to lose, but they went on for further 4 series after his death.

This was the strongest category. I wanted to vote for Bless this house too. :laugh: Watched that every Sunday night

I can see my life being laid out in front of me..

All my votes were the shows ibwas allowed to stay up and watch with my dad...


Bring on the 80s and some rebellion..

A joke from rik mayell...

Live in stage at the annual policeman's ball..

"Hi, I can see some kids in the audience"

"Hello kids, my names uncle rik"

"Would you like to suck my cock"
