Extras was disappointing, not a patch on the series.

Pretty much all TV sucks ass in the UK.

Imagine whats it will be like when increased bandwidth allows Internet TV to become the norm . Im sure a part time Ladyboy/TS channel will surface on somewhere like Joost or the equivelant....i suppose there may be enought materiel to pad it out .

There must be at least one beauty contest a week worldwide and one supposes that you could build a sourcing network for other crap like interviews..and porno . Maybe even a TS soap...hah( with subtitles).

If the demand is there it will happen....eventually

Survivor Pittsburg
The Biggest Loser: Wife Swap
American Scooter

Who am I to argue with the man second from bottom in the ATS football league?

You need to get "On the Buses" and "Double Your Money"

Hope you had a good Christmas at Casa Coinflip

(allstar88 @ Dec. 27 2007,19:35) i bet he misses alf garnet on xmas t.v.?  

No , i miss wait till your father gets home. Now thats a cartoon that wasnt meant for kids. Ralph and his vigilantes...his son, Grandma(Sgt. Whittaker) and even the dog were part of his A team.  

Good old Ralph loved America while hating 95% of its inhabitants. Anti-Semitic, Anti-Communist , Anti everybody. I bet they dont show repeats ...

The good ol days eh!

not forgetting faulty towers.....

what the fuck happened in the 80s?
Black adder , Young ones, Mel and Smith- give me Steptoe, Rising damp or Faulty towers any day over these.
A lot of 80s comedy hasn't aged well at all, bar Only fools and horses.

[stogie bear]

wait till your father gets home

Classic series that and yes they DID show repeats for a while on The Comedy Channel (USA) (late at night!)

(orgasmaddict @ Dec. 28 2007,17:21) what the fuck happened in the 80s?

Maggie Thatcher, 'New Romantics', Arthur Scargill, The Falklands, oh and Galton and Simpson had stopped working together:

Simpson formally retired from scriptwriting in 1978, concentrating on his business interests, and Galton collaborated in several projects with Johnny Speight

Funny - the best bit about the TV today is watching the clips of Yesterday...

There is a multitude of 'Top 100' clip type shows featuring the golden age of British TV.

It's a shame that there is such a talent vacuum these days.

Extras and Peep Show are both hearty contenders amongst the classic stuff from the past , but we'll have to wait a few years to see if they stand the test of time. Not sure i can say the same thing about Little Britain though , what bag o'shite that is

now how about the 90s?

70s v 90s
1. morcambe and wise- Reeves and Mortimer
2. Faulty towers - Father Ted
3. Rising Damp - Alan Partridge
4. Steptoe and son -?
