Blackadder is always good, I never tire of it. Rowan Atkinson is my hero (if you hadn't noticed yet, I am a sarcastic git pretty much 24/7). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I agree with Sol, Blackadder's amazing ..... Ooh, and Thin Blue Line, fantastic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Personally can't stand Mr Bean, I think it's because he reminds me of a few aquaintances (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

I love Johnny English - it's brilliant!
I used to enjoy many of the comedians from my youth - Dave Allen, Benny Hill, Tommy Cooper - and of course Morecambe & Wise and The Two Ronnies. I don't find modern comedians appeal to my sense of humour in the same way; maybe they connect with the under-40s. Sit-coms have become a bit predictable now, I think. Most of the best ideas had already been done. Reggie Perrin (Leonard Rossiter version), Yes, Minister and Blackadder were probably my absolute favourites. Anyone remember "Please, Sir!" with John Alderton and "All gas and gaiters" with Derek Nimmo? |

Not a single swear word needed to raise a laugh, either! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Benny Hill, D1ck Emery, and Kenny Everett were good too! |

QUOTE I think everyone should watch the Andre Previn (Andrew Preview) sketch at least once... I love that famous line: "I AM playing all the right notes....... though not necessarily in the right order!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) QUOTE Yes, Minister and Blackadder were probably my absolute favourites. Anyone remember "Please, Sir!" with John Alderton and "All gas and gaiters" with Derek Nimmo? I loved the first two and have loads of Yes/Prime Minister as audio mp3 files. I vaguely remember 'Please Sir', but I never understood it. I was only young and it seemed loads of grown-ups pretending to be kids. Totally unrealistic. Then came Grange Hill which seemed to condense into 30 minutes all the worst of schools. God, I was only 12 but I hated that programme! Steve |
