One Team In Keynsham Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Would struggle to narrow down to 5, but shows that would be in contention include Green Wing, Peep Show, Blackadder Goes Forth, Fawlty Towers and Filthy Rich & Catflap.

Major Isewater Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Father Ted ( is Ireland British ? ) Fawlty Towers Only Fools Alan Partridge Bottom These are my favourites because they still make me laugh and have become part of daily life banter for many people. How could I forget Black Adder ? We have been blessed with some fantastic comedies , I could add , The Good Life , Porridge , Rising Damp , The Fast show , One Foot in the Grave ... Certain gems were of their era and are not as funny today , Steptoe and Son, Man about the house , Bless this House . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Father Ted is the standout for me. Followed by the Mighty Boosh. After that the choices are almost endless and the best have already been listed in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 There are very few that remain funny despite several viewings; these all stand the test IMO: Fawlty Towers Dad's Army Father Ted (British Isles!) I'm Alan Partridge Blackadder Though I don't disagree with the ones listed upthread albeit I haven't seen some of them; or even heard of The Smoking Room tbh. There are lots though that I found hilarious at first viewing but which didn't work as well the second time when you knew the twist / surprise. One Foot in the Grave in particular; laugh out loud funny the first time and then the next time you know the donkey is going to wee in the bath.

The Smoking Room managed two series and remains one of my favourites. It can be found on YouTube though not in the greatest quality. It features an (I think) fairly early Robert Webb role and several other well known British comedy actors. Just discovered it's on Amazon as well, I rarely watch anything on that but may be firing it up later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 How many of the above series will be 'allowed' in future, given the current searching out of anything not PC? Presumably it will do for Fawlty Towers (I must admit that I wince when I hear the Major's description of taking a woman to see a cricket match); Monty Python, The Two Ronnies; The League of Gentlemen (already off Netflix); Blackadder (appearance of Sir Walter Raleigh?); Only Fools; Porridge. Hard to think of a comedy series pre-1980 that will survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
