Thread: 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.

niggers and wogs, from the bbc of yesteryear!

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

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.

probably the best show

Jeeves and Wooster

Q Series with Spike Milligan.

Alf Garnett?Some mothers do have them?

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

Dear John used to make me laugh

Not the best for some but as I kid I loved Norman Wisdom.

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

^ nah can't see it. oh wait ..... mince pie and mushy peas.

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

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...

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

There's more but the mind's blank
