    British comedy at its best.

    Just seen a few episodes on UK Gold and they are funnier this time around than in the 70s. Leonard Rossiter = Comic Genius.

    Agree with you - I loved watching it as a kid, but find it more funny now I'm older. They just don't make 'em like they used to.

    One of the best things that ever came out of

    Yorkshire TV. </p>

    The entire ITV network had nothing to match it.</p>

    It's only comedy rivals are Steptoe and Son, Blackadder, Allo Allo and Yes Minister (all BBC)</p>

    Yes, I saw that. A London Weekend production I think.</p>

    Good platform for later DJ stuff, but not, in my opinion, a classic.</p>

    went to see an episode being recorded in the mid/late 70's

    brilliant, and the cracks, puns and messing about following line **** ups was superb, a truely great comedy with 4 or so strong lead characters, we saw the episode with Peter Bowles in it
