That list will change every 10 minutes depending on my frame of mind!
Ohhh... I'd need to give this some thought. I've never been able to get beyond my number one (which is Fawlty Towers without a doubt).
Side note: Incidentally running a Nationwide Top 10 Sitcoms poll is something we've been talking about at the BSG for a while. I suspect we'll launch a voting website towards the end of 2007... we're planning to do it on a huge scale so it won't be just yet - we've got a few other things to sort first.
It changes daily though the toppermost is a constant. I'd probably change my mind if I'd seen a few more episodes of some of the classics or even more of the newbies. Anyway, today I'm saying...
1/ Fawlty Towers
2/ Porridge
3/ Dad's Army
4/ The Office
5/ Coupling
6/ Peep Show
7/ People Like Us
8/ I'm Alan Partridge
9/ Father Ted
10/ Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em
...which I calculate as 8 x BBC and 2 x C4.
An even sider note to Mark's comment, but spookily we were discussing this earlier on today. Well, yesterday. You know what I mean.
Anyhoooooooo. Hmm, yes. I'll have a think, but I'm probably going to have to bow out of this one. Don't know how I could pick and rank like that! There's just way too much that I love.
Here's my top ten.
1) Green Wing
2) Dad's Army
3) Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister
