1. Absolutely Fabulous
2. On The Buses
3. Game OnThe Young Ones was of its time, uniquely anarchic and you are not allowed to criticize it.
Is 'On the Buses' truly rated as such, by anyone, as a great sitcom?

Probably not. Most people think it's smutty, unfunny, embarrassing, cliched...
Highly overrated in other words.

Ah, hm. How far west? Nothing's springing to mind... *strokes chin thoughtfully*

Jack Massey, for one.

That's my other place! Much easier to/from Heathrow. (about half-way there but that's all you get)
As long as Jack Massey isn't rude about The Young Ones I will allow him to live
Two places in London. You bastard. Just how rich are you? And when are you going to give me one (oo er!)?

You couldn't afford me! (that way)
One an Iceland cardboard box, and the other a nice dry spot under a bridge?
Hey look, I'm MUCH older than nearly all of you lot, life spent in work etc

Waterloo bullring and a nice open space near Kew Bridge. No council tax.
'Look In' ?
But even at London prices. You must be a banker or a Saudi oil baron or something.
I sometimes think Aaron's looking for a father figure. Every time we get a worldly wise older male BSG member Aaron starts to fall in love with him. He did it with Alan C, now he's doing it with Huge bear! 
Mayhap a spiv who bought up bombed out properties for stockings and bananas during the war?
'ello darling got a case of spam for your bombed out wreck.
Are we going off topic?
Terry and June was crap beyond all imagings. Which numbskull read the Gambols and thought,
Ooh that'd make a great half hour strip!

Yes but they weren't always so utterly extortionate. (I told you I was old) And they are utterly extortionate. Part of the reason for this credit crunch. Hang on a couple of years, they will adjust.
Definitely off-topic
Aw. If you adopt Aaron, can I come too?

Ask me very very nicely, then I'll think about it.
Aren't you part Argentine? Going there next month!
