Re: Britains Top Sitcom

I never liked the office. Mainly because when I first watched it, I thought it was a real documentry, and formed an immediate opinion, without giving the program time to make itself obvious to me.

Still, my top 3 would be:

Red Dwarf (love Listers hair)
Blackadder (Because I am currently trying to grow his beard from the first series)
Only Fool's and Horses.

That wasn't an all out sitcom though, at least not when it first started.

Re: Britains Top Sitcom

It was a fix! The Vicar was going to be voted off with the least amount of votes with Porridge & Yes Minister, but somehow made it to number 3 It's a travesty of justice, Brian, that Fawlty Towers only made it to number 5 I suppose we've got lots of OFAH repeats to look forward to now Still what are Saturday nights on the BBC for?

Yes Minister should have been higher as well, I'd put money on the fact that the Government is exactly like it is portrayed in the programme

EDIT: 100 posts, Excellent.....

Re: Britains Top Sitcom

Top 3 for me

Yes Minister
Faulty Towers
Porridge

And I agree with Mr Burns that the result was a fix. I think Carol Vorderman on her knees had a lot to do with Dibley coming 3rd.

Or, almost any of the scenes with Queenie in Black Adder 2...
The whole episode with the Germans in Fawlty Towers... German:"Will you stop going on about the war?".
Basil : "You started it!"
German: "No we didn't!"
Basil : "Yes, you did, you invaded Poland!". Pure class..
