Top 10 British sitcoms ever Page 10
It is a truly superb programme, Jack!
On the 'Allo 'Allo theme, I was just pissing and I thought I'd add my top ten:
Porridge
Steptoe and Son
Red Dwarf (Series 1-6)
The League of Gentlemen (some debate whether it is a sitcom)
Larry Sanders
One Foot in the Grave
Open All Hours
What Ever Happened to the Likely Lads?
Dad's Army
Father Ted
Subs bench:
H-H-H-H-H-Hancock, Yes Minister, Last of the Summer Wine (til '85), Phoenix Nights, Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin
Not strictly on topic but close . . .
I've just watched what is possibly my favourite sit-com episode, and now I've wiped the tears of laughter away . . .
My copy of In Sickness and in Heath Series Three arrived today and I went straight to episode 4, the one about the seance.
What a tour de force performance from all concerned. Warren Mitchell, Carmel Mc Sharry, Arthur English, Eamonn Walker but, most of all, Irene Handl and Patricia Hayes.
If that's not as good as comedy ever gets, I don't know what is !
For what it's worth here is my favourite ten sitcoms:-
1. On The Buses
2. Porridge
3. Only Fools And Horses
4. Steptoe And Son
5. Man About The House
6. Fawlty Towers
7. Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em
8. Bottom
9. Goodnight Sweetheart
10.Rising Damp
My top ten be:
1. Only Fools & Horses
2. The Office
3. The Royle Family
4. Early Doors
5. Gavin And Stacey
6. Extras
7. I'm Alan Partridge
8. Phoenix Nights
9. Benidorm
10. Game On

Each to their own
1. I'm Alan Partridge
2. Father Ted
3. One Foot In The Grave
4. 15 Storeys High
5. Yes (Prime) Minister
6. Fawlty Towers
7. The Thick of It
8. Only Fools and Horses
9. Red Dwarf
10. Porridge
I'm gonna disagree with that list the second I post it... Help and Marion & Geoff are two I really want to slot in now
Based on each in its prime
Porridge
Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads
Hancock
Only Fools and Horses
One Foot in the Grave
Shelley
dinnerladies
Red Dwarf
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin
The Brittas Empire
Honourable mentions to Steptoe, Til Death, Rising Damp, Coupling, Just Good Friends, Fawlty Towers, Open All Hours, Last of the Summer Wine, Royle Family.
As much as I love it and it is in my top ten, Father Ted is not British but Irish, so should not be included in the British top 10 sitcoms ever IMO?
1. Mr Charity
2. Sweet Charity
3. In Voluntary
4. League of Gentlemen (certain characters)
1, Only Fools and Horses,
2, Porridge,
3, Red Dwarf (Series 1-6),
4, The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin,
5, Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads,
6, Peep Show,
7, Last of the Summer Wine (until Compo's death),
8, Dad's Army,
9, Marion and Geoff,
10, Preston Front,
