Not a TV Comedy but my favourite film comedy is the The Producers with Zero Mostel and GeneWilder.

Yes Herbert, "Till Death Us Do Part"; pure genius, but again, one that wouldn't be acceptable nowadays because of the racism and misogyny.

I don't know what the show was called but Peter Cook & Dudley Moore doing the Greta Garbo and One leg too few sketches is bloody hilarious.

So difficult to choose, so I think it best to remember those programmes I really looked forward to and felt I couldn’t miss:

Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads;
Only Fools & Horses;
The Vicar of Dibley;
Steptoe & Son;
The Royle Family

Hounslowrover · « **Reply #49 on** November 02, 2018, 12:45:00 pm by Hounslowrover »

Difficult, but
Only Fools and Horses
Monty Python
Vicar of Dibley
Porridge
Rising Damp

Others which grow on you as the characters develop
Gavin and Stacey
The Detectorists
Man Down.

Bentley Bullet · « **Reply #50 on** November 02, 2018, 01:09:01 pm by Bentley Bullet »

I always enjoyed The Detectives, with Jasper Carrott and Robert Powell.

tommy toes · « **Reply #51 on** November 02, 2018, 05:15:23 pm by tommy toes »

Agree about Detectorists. Like Early Doors it was something that worked due to great characterisations.

Agreed.
‘Cradle to Grave’ is brilliant too - from Danny Baker’s autobiography.
