Yes Minister: political comedy MPs voted the greatest

The consummate political satire might be about to celebrate its 40th anniversary but, in many ways, it has barely aged at all.

BBC TV themes by Ronnie Hazlehurst

Following Monday's sad news of the untimely passing of producer/director, John Howard Davies, it started me thinking more about some of the individuals that have been a part of all of our British comedy lives for decades that we aren't even aware of.

Off The Telly Review

It's been almost two decades since its debut, and there's the legacy of one too many re-runs on UK Gold, but still that very particular, potent appeal of Just Good Friends hasn't weathered or grown stale. Even Paul Nicholas' salty rendering of John Sullivan's self-penned title theme, garnished with textbook Ronnie Hazelhurst noodling, remains at the end of the day essentially harmless and even, well, likable. Watching the series again, and especially this famous final episode, is a thoroughly agreeable experience.
