Lesser known sitcoms starring sitcom greats Page 2

How on earth did I completely miss Believe Nothing?

And Timothy West is always worth a watch.

Lynda Gibson was the highlight of Let The Blood Run Free in her role as Matron Dorothy Conniving-Bitch. Brilliant Australian comedy.

James Bolam, Richard Wilson and Keith Barron in Room At The Bottom.

Not sure this is a lesser known sitcom but I'll say The Lovers with Richard Beckinsale.

And Paula Wilcox of course who subsequently appeared in Man About The House and is now in Boomers.

Adrian Edmondson in the abysmal Teenage Kicks.

John Cleese and Geoffrey Palmer in Whoops Apocalypse.

Richard Wilson and Geoffrey Palmer in Hot Metal.

I quite like Teenage Kicks!

Ade Edmondson and David Mitchell in Doctors & Nurses.

Beast with Alexander Armstrong.
And TLC with Reece Shearsmith. (Oh, and Alexander Armstrong, weirdly.)

Some of those mentioned had decent runs and are fondly remembered (and not just by me).

A few that I have dragged from the dingier recesses of my mind:

Bloomers with Richard Beckinsale. (His last sitcom and quite decent.)

Pay and Display with James Bolam. (A failed ITV attempt at reviving the peak time sitcom.)

Losers with Leonard Rossiter. (The great Alan Coren discovered that sitcom was not his metier.)

Sorry I'm A Stranger Here Myself with Robin Bailey. (Not a highlight on Peter Tilbury's CV.)

I used to enjoy Beast, although it did seem a bit formulaic after a while. I also recall a very attractive young lady in it who used to be in Grange Hill...

And, Bloomers! Yes, I must check that out. Looks like there's some episodes on YouTube!

Steve Moffats .....Joking Apart

I would add these few:-

Odd Man Out - John Inman
Curry & Chips - Eric Sykes
Roll Over Beethoven - Nigel Planner
A Small Problem - Christopher Ryan

How about Thora Hird in "our's is a nice house".

Terry Scott & Mollie Sugden in "Son Of The Bride".

Ronnie Barker's His Lordship Entertains.
