What are the best 10 ITV sitcoms... Page 3

When I saw Twos Company I thought he meant the US version of Man about the House
And then I remembered it, that awful show with Donald Sinden and Elaine Stritch
Why don't we just put Never the Twain in at number one and bury the list as a Time capsule to confuse future historians

Not at all. IMO many remain laugh-out-loud; more than some highly feted BBC counterparts. It's all different styles and different tastes.

Fair enough
But how many of these make the top 30 or even top 50 of the best British Sitcoms
If it's more than one I'd be very surprised indeed

The Upper Hand

Oh - this has got a bit lively since I last looked in. Big smile. Thank you Aaron in particular for the Galton and Simpson recommendations. I'm still keeping my powder dry for my last eight but some of them are going to get an "oh what?....you really are mad aren't you". Well, I hope they do.

Batman

I didn't mind Batman
But I didn't much care for the spin off series Robin's Nest

So yus, my next four are The Dustbinmen, Benidorm, Oh No, It's Selwyn Froggitt and Don't Drink The Water.

Don't Drink The Water is a very bold call!

I will throw Mr Digby Darling and No - That's Me Over Here! into the mix.

Odd Man Out deserved more than one series.

Isn't he bold?

KInd of brings to mind Round The Horne.

I can be on my day, yus.

Thank you for your latest.

My next two are Hancock's and The Lovers.

Which leaves me with two.

Neither will be Batman.

Just for the fun of it, I'll mention Romany Jones, Yus, My Dear and Lollipop Loves Mr. Mole.

Now you're being silly

Lollipop Loves Mr. Mole might well be the greatest title for a sitcom ever.

Don't know it, don't fancy Romany Jones (leave it!) and Yus, My Dear was a load of bollocks - that DVD is now in a charity shop.

Romany Jones was very good.

Proper gypsies rather than Back To The Planet crusty traveller types....and all making their way to the Grand National.

Or was that another series?
