Anyone remember May To December, starring Anton Rogers?

I used to love that when I was a smaller boy.

First Of THe Summer Wine was v underrated I thought

Kelly Monteith's self-titled show. I remember it being on but didnt watch it,I was usually in bed by the time it was on. It sounds like an early Seinfeld from what I've read

If you didn't watch it, you can't really note it in this thread! :P

Smaller than you are now? You must have been positively protozoic!

Yep, I'd go with that. It's at the top of my DVD release wish list.

And Paul Mendelson's!

(Well, perhaps after So Haunt Me.)

I can vaguely remember Oneupmanship with Richard Briers sometime back in the 70s. I cannot recall too much about it though.

The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer.

dinnerladies should have more recognition as it is an under-rated work of comic genius. More people should appeciate the originality and excellence of Goodnight Sweetheart, which (particulary in its early years) was a fantastic sitcom and it was ridiculous that it came 50th on the 2004 poll of Britain's Best Sitcom.

I also thought the 1980s sitcom with the extremely former cute actress felicity Kendal called Solo was forgotten. It was in no way special like The Good Life, but no one remebers it and it was good if you gave it a chance. People should also appreciate the predictable, but fun sitcom My Hero, which was good until james Dreyfus replaced Ardal O'Hanlon.

Trevor's World of Sport

Good call. Shamefully axed by the TV execs, but still a treat on radio.
