It is good but with ghosts it opens up the storyline and allows all the characters to grow

2025-01-10 03:37:02 +0000 UTCHorrible Histories was funnier imo

2025-01-09 17:32:28 +0000 UTCIdeal is such a fun show and it's so weird and different than anything else. Plus who doesn't love Sean lock with tits 🤣
John
2025-01-09 17:31:14 +0000 UTCOutnumbered. Really?
John
2025-01-09 17:29:59 +0000 UTCIve said that for ages but I get called a nutter
John
2025-01-09 17:28:44 +0000 UTCWho the hell is voting for outnumbered? It's so shit.. why is it even on this poll?
John
2025-01-09 17:28:14 +0000 UTCThis is just BS. Some obvious rigging going on. Why would the votes fluctuate so much since the last poll?
Jasmine Carpenter
2025-01-09 01:24:37 +0000 UTCHow did Bad Education go from 76 Votes and No 1 spot to 38 Votes? Something odd going on here.
Jasmine Carpenter
2025-01-07 19:25:37 +0000 UTCWill - Yeah, it was always the iPlayer for me when watching it! Shame it wasn't showed more, it is so good!!

2025-01-07 15:35:20 +0000 UTCRob - Wait... me? XD I am not sure where the scorn is (sorry if you are referring to another commenter). Blazing Saddles is the ultimate explain of laughing at dumb racists. When I said some things may not land, I mean that it is a sitcom in the 70s in a country Josh didn't grow up in, so there are going to be a lot of references missed. We are definitely laughing AT Rigsby rather than with him (even though he is quite a sympathetic character, which makes him very interesting IMO).
VEGGIE GAMER
2025-01-07 15:33:06 +0000 UTCRacial humour can be amusing and has proven so over the years, greatest example being 'Blazzing Saddles'. Your scorn at the mere suggestion of such humour is very alarming.
Rob Walters
2025-01-07 14:04:17 +0000 UTCYou are surprised by 'Keeping Up Appearances' yet you are championing 'Ghosts'?!!!!! I can only assume you like your comedy, tumbleweed silence mode...
Rob Walters
2025-01-07 14:02:01 +0000 UTCRoy Clarke's writing in a nutshell. Very similar gags and catchphrases week to week. See also Last of the Summer Wine and Open All Hours ;P

2025-01-07 12:59:44 +0000 UTCCome on Ghosts
BR90s
2025-01-07 08:06:49 +0000 UTCIt was OK for a short time, but I soon realised every episode was basically the same story.

2025-01-05 11:43:10 +0000 UTCI believe what you are describing here is called an opinion
Jake Francis
2025-01-04 23:18:16 +0000 UTCGhosts and outnumbered are brilliant
Toby
2025-01-04 22:21:23 +0000 UTCI really hope so - definitely my favourite choice right now.
Vickie
2025-01-04 12:56:57 +0000 UTCRhod Gilbert's Work Experience is great! I think it mainly aired on BBC Wales so maybe didn't reach as big an audience.
Will
2025-01-04 12:54:59 +0000 UTCCome on, Ghosts! You can do it this time!
Stuart Fewtrell
2025-01-04 12:41:28 +0000 UTCI’m really surprised by how many votes Keeping up appearances got. I remember watching as a kid, when we only had a few channels and a lot fewer options but I don’t remember it being that funny. Rose and Onslow were probably the best, but overall I always thought it was a bit meh. I guess that if it wins, I will give it another shot, but I am really hoping for ghosts, goodnight sweetheart or something like that.
Vickie
2025-01-04 12:41:10 +0000 UTCIt's ironic some people class it as outdated when it has a much stronger and smarter black character in it than what most modern British TV comedy shows have.
BigChanChan
2025-01-04 08:17:45 +0000 UTCYeah, I get a lot of things may not land, but I think it wouldn't be any more than other shows from the 70s that he has already covered! You are right, Rossiter's performance is definitely the best part, but I still really enjoy the show as a whole! :) (laughing at racists is always good)
VEGGIE GAMER
2025-01-03 16:39:42 +0000 UTCYou know I never considered Rising Damp because although Leonard Rossiter's performance is a masterclass, I feel it's humour is outdated but reconsidering now Josh loves laughing at ignorant racists. It's got my vote for it now fwiw
Sean Riley
2025-01-03 16:35:56 +0000 UTCStill Game, Outnumbered and Benidorm will all be watched one day surely
James Waters
2025-01-03 13:24:19 +0000 UTCHonestly surprised Rising Damp hasn't won before, but it is excellent! Would highly recommend, tho I know it is mostly much more modern stuff that gets picks nowadays. Would also be cool to get Citizen Smith on the polls eventually! Also voting for Rhod Gilbert Work Exprience. It is so good, but sadly not so well known.
VEGGIE GAMER
2025-01-03 11:36:21 +0000 UTCSteptoe and Son! Would love the John Sullivan worshippers to discover where he got his ideas from for OFAH.... Steptoe is the original and best!!
Rob Walters
2025-01-03 11:02:58 +0000 UTCThe new statesman is fantastic another of Rik Mayalls masterpieces!

2025-01-03 11:00:36 +0000 UTCBeing Human (though the 52 episodes is the US remake, UK only had 37 episodes)

2025-01-03 10:59:01 +0000 UTCKeeping Up Appearances 🤞

2025-01-03 06:55:25 +0000 UTCIdeal for me too, haven’t seen this show myself for years so would love to rewatch it. Gotta love Johnny Vegas!
James Brown
2025-01-03 06:15:24 +0000 UTCHi Jasmine. Yes, I'm afraid I was. I actually think James Corden is a big fat sack of shit. Cheers.

Chad Davies
2025-01-03 02:25:36 +0000 UTCGoing for Ideal, Johnny Vegas and surrealism. Maybe Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe for a longer series
Sean Riley
2025-01-03 01:57:44 +0000 UTC'Jam' (2000) by Chris Morris is an essential Brit-com I'm surprised hasn't been suggested.
Nell Sun
2025-01-03 01:49:53 +0000 UTCI beg your pardon!
Nell Sun
2025-01-03 01:47:57 +0000 UTCDown to the dregs now mate! I can't pick 1 of those shows in good faith for you. (Maybe do some recent US series; there's been some great stuff made (Fargo; Oz; The Wire; Mr Mercedes; The Haunting of Bly Manor; Twin Peaks...) - J.
Nell Sun
2025-01-03 01:45:21 +0000 UTCGoodnight Sweetheart is my top pick here for you, Josh. Nick Lyndhurst playing such a different role to Rodney the plonker from Only Fools and Horses and a storyline that is fascinating and unusual for a sitcom. Honestly think you'd love it. Absolutely Fabulous is also completely up your street and I also think you'd love Ghosts. Probably my top 3.
Ash Jeffries
2025-01-03 00:44:52 +0000 UTCAnything with James Corden. A true British comedy hero.
