Probably would just miss out on my top 10, but definitely top 20 without a doubt.

Steptoe and Son, Allo Allo and One Foot in the Grave are the biggest omissions for me on that list.

Yes Minister would be in my top ten maybe even top five. I'm Alan Partridge was good but wouldn't make my top twenty, I only liked the first series, top three is laughable. Gavin and Stacey should be no where near any top twenty list and the most laughable one, Dinerladies, wouldn't make my top 50 never mind 20.

You're not alone, Yes Minister would make a lot of people's number 1

It won the Bafta for best sitcom for 3 straight years in 81, 82 and 83. I don't think there's been a more prolific Bafta winner in that catagory. Was the number 1 of its time.

Yeah I agree. I was liking the list till I realised it was not on there.

I liked Allo Allo from what I've seen of it.
