Only Fools And Horses is TV's most-watched ever show
Only Fools And Horses has been announced as the most-watched show in the entire 80-year history of British television.
British Comedy Guide, 31st October 2016The original sitcom saw Nicholas Lyndhurst's Gary Sparrow discovering a time-travel portal and, basically, using his power to simply go down the pub in a different era. This reboot, which is part of the BBC's sitcom season, promises yet more momentous events for Gary to be vaguely underwhelmed by. This time, he's offered the chance to witness his own birth. An existential mind-mangler, surely? Expect Gary to shrug the whole thing off in his customarily phlegmatic style.

Is it possible for a sitcom to be terrible and very funny at the same time? That's the feat that this one-off revival of Goodnight Sweetheart as part of the Landmark Sitcom Season seems to have pulled off. This time travel comedy always was an odd idea and the internal logic problems of the original run, which ended 17 years ago, still haven't been resolved. On the other hand there are plenty of laughs.

British Comedy Guide, 5th August 2016Why Goodnight Sweetheart is the most subversive sitcom
There aren't many sitcoms about a grown man pretending to be a spy who wrote The Beatles' back catalogue. Who also befriends Noel Coward, saves Clement Attlee's life, and meets George VI, the Kray twins and Winston Churchill. Then again, time-travelling oddity Goodnight Sweetheart was no ordinary sitcom.
