British Comedy Guide

Pretentious? Moi?

Hi everyone,

Just registered so I thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm 61 y.o. and live close to my beloved Black Country in Wolverhampton.

Comedy favourites are Dad's Army, IAHHM, Hi de Hi, OFITG, OFAH,Yes Minister, Keeping up appearances etc pretty much mainstream stuff really but my No.1 is Hancock.

Just in passing I like Cheers and Taxi amongst non British programmes.

Comedy in general? Max Miller - there'll never be another! And of course I'm Sorry I haven't a clue.

Other interests include railways, buses and music.

So anybody want a date? Oh sorry ! That's the other forum I go on !

:$

Regards,

Dave

Ole.

Welcome OldRocker. I visit Wolverhampton regularly. I made my opinions clear on it recently in another post, so I'll not repeat it for fear of offending you.

Surprised that a fan of Buses (Must be a name for that) didn't have 'On the buses' as a favorite.

Usually stay in the Park Hall Hotel because it looks like the mansion from Scooby Doo

Someone older than me and a Hancock fan - isn't it marvellous ? :D Welcome Wave

Good evening! :)

Thanks all for the welcome.

I do like On The Buses but the list could go on and on really! Ever Decreasing Circles,To The Manor Born, Rising Damp, The Rag Trade, Last of the Summer Wine, I didn't know you cared . . . doesn't it make you feel old when you know you saw them first time around ? !

As regards Wolverhampton, it does have some redeeming features, after all Chavs lurk everywhere and, most importantly, it's not as bad as that place to the East beginning with B and which no Black Country bloke mentions unless he has to !

Rosco missed the opportunity to link trains to Oh, Doctor Beeching! - shame on him!
