Those were the days when they really did make good programmes.

I still like "Last of the Summer Wine" too. Outstanding gentle but very clever humour, and they always had oustanding cast members too.

Just found this clip on youtube, I've never seen the episode before but Jonesy had me in stitches. "I think I'm going Sir."

I love Dad's Army and I think it's because there is a character that represents us all.

I would agree, but Gavin and Stacey does get close !

I liked Terry and June when I was younger... Not sure its one of the all time greats but I enjoyed it.

Gavin and Stacey is 100% gash. Modern classics? Inbetweeners is quality, The 1st 3 series of Peep Show were ok, Operation Good Guys* was ok (*Dad's army on speed).
