Just a heads up on iPlayer really for all us old farts...if you want to kill some nostalgic 70s time indulge
I can't believe how brilliantly written this is compared to the utter claptrap and dross we have to suffer today for our licence fee....
We all remember it from our youth but by God what a gem - Pilot and first 4 eps in and I'm hooked once more ...
Ian La Frenais and Dick Clement what a team. Just watched "A Night in" S1 Ep4 and was like being at the theatre
Up there with Ibsen for tragicomedy for me
Rising Damp another classic - The Xmas episode especially with Rigsby's opening soliloquy to camera I watch every Xmas....
Why don't we make programmes like this anymore..?
A bygone age of TV sadly missed.... [Post edited 9 Nov 9:16]

Rossiter was a difficult man wasn’t he

Nowt beats Brass
Bradley Hardacre my hero
What a boss
And the décolletage of Jack’ mum
Glorious
That’s how to run a factory though it could have gone to Maurice if Bradley died | |

Some all time classics there, comedy genius at work in both writing and acting that provide unforgettable memories.
I can watch some of the old Two Ronnies sketches, but unlike my youth when my mind was not expanded enough at the time to recognise the genius of it all. I can now truly marvel at the intelligence and creativity of those involved in the making of. How I took it all for granted at the time!
The 'four candles' sketch, Mastermind sketch, opticians sketch and phone booth sketch being prime examples.
And the way so many sit-com characters/actors of that era were so unforgettable also, along with the how they used to compliment and play off each with perfect comedic synergy, it was and still is utter brilliance. |  |

Again for the coffin dodgers amongst us I will throw in Fawlty Towers as comedy classics .
Twelve episodes and Cleese said I cannot take this any wrinting any further so I will go out on a high , no sequels or follow on now .
Will the Beeb repeat the series on some catch up channel , or maybe too offensive now . | | | |
