That's a good criteria otherwise if we did it by location then Red Dwarf would be tricky too!

Open All Hours
Ugh! Lists! Anyway here's mine: 
1. I'm Alan Partridge.
2... *sighs*
I'm certain that I'm Alan Partridge is my favourite. But the rest, I can't decide which is better than the other one. Nor can I narrow (or remember) 12 off the top of my head.
Sitcoms of note:
Only Fools'
Father Ted
One Foot'
IT Crowd.
Peep Show
Blackadder
The Inbetweeners
Fawlty Towers
Game On (series 1 only)
The Office would get a mention but I'm finding that on repeat viewings it's loosing its steam. I still think it's brilliant in both its performances and writing. But the humour mainly works on the unexpected and I now know what's going to happen and when. Whereas other sitcoms I can happily watch it over and over (see: Only Fools').

Veeeeery good list, L. I'm just watching a few Saxondale episodes.......what did you make of it?
Quite enjoyed it. Wouldn't say it was a favourite but was very good.

I know what you mean. When I first saw Saxondale (on TV), I thought it was just Partridge with a beard. But I picked up both series on eBay (for a knockdown price), and am really enjoying it a lot more. For me, his anger management issues are brilliant. I'm always staggered by how great Partridge is, but was initially disappointed with the second series (now I think it's the better of the two), so I've given up on my rash judgements! All the best, L.
