Best British Comedy of Old

For me, it's Fawlty Towers or Red Dwarf. Both hard to beat and nothing even comes close to them today.

For mine: Blackadder.

will be old one day, comedy is crap these days like that garbage Mirranda series, tallentless bitch that one.

**Bobcock** · 18-02-2016, 02:37 PM

Porridge was great.

Fawlty Towers is obvious.

The Young Ones at the time.

Allo Allo is a lot cleverer and more subtle than it appears on the surface.

**Dragonfly94** · 18-02-2016, 02:56 PM

probably the best show

Q Series with Spike Milligan.

These two were brilliant, either as Pete & Dud, or the extremely foul-mouthed Derek & Clive.

**mykthemin** · 18-02-2016, 04:14 PM

Alf Garnett?Some mothers do have them?

**harrybarracuda** · 18-02-2016, 04:15 PM

Ah Pete and Dud, brilliant. And Dudley was some pianist, too.

Thanks JJ. You opened a few old memories with that. I'm currently downloading it. Cheers.

bit comic that posters still can't post a vid properly

**Troy** · 19-02-2016, 12:14 AM

H..Hancock's Half Hour was one of my favourites. The Radio Ham and the Blood Donor are ones I imagine everyone old enough still remembers. However, I also liked the earlier ones with Sid James:

Bloody Hell! I just checked when these were broadcast...I watched the repeats...

**DJ Pat** · 19-02-2016, 08:05 AM

Likely Lads
Minder
Steptoe & son
Only fools & horses
On the buses
Mr Bean
Desmonds
Carry on

There's more but the mind's blank
