Faulty Towers and Only Fools and Horses.

I don't find any modern day sitcoms funny at all,they are woeful.

One probably nobody has ever heard of, was very gentle humour but very clever,

The Beiderbecke Trilogy.

Beiderbecke Tapes, Beiderbecke Affair and The Beiderbecke Connection, all written by Alan Plater.

Oh me too!!!!! He was a fantastic actor as well, but his comedy shows were brilliant and hilarious, and so full of social comment.

Have to say the Beiderbecke trilogy were excellent, probably amongst James Bolam's best stuff yet its least remembered
I loved the Likely lads, Who Dares Wins, Only Fools of course. More recently I like Not Going Out, Gavin and Stacey and the wonderful Mrs Browns Boys

I'm sorry Nems, I can't abide Mrs Browns Boys.
