Which sitcoms would make good musicals?

Hi-De-Hi! is one I reckon would work really well.

Good musicals? Isn't that an oxymoron?

Camp ones, I would imagine, like Hi-De-Hi!, 'Allo 'Allo!, Are You Being Served?. They've all got one foot in the door, being so camp. Sick

Steptoe and Son?

Actually went to see an amateur production of one in my area a few years ago. It was a bit naff to be honest.

That's a play though, not a musical, AFAIK.
