Best SitCom of the Isle....

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Pity Allo Allo and Fawlty weren't with the best of three, tho :(
They're something I watched here on Belgian TV and they are ace.
Can't beat Blackadder, tho.....

I'll pass on 'Allo, Allo' but FT is sublime.

Notice, I didn't mention 'The War'

Never really bin a big fan of Blackadder. It just seemed a bit too clever for its own good to me. Flowery Tw@ts on the other hand is definitely number one in my book. Closely followed by Yes Minister. The Good Life also brings back very fond memories of watching telly with my Mum and Dad. And Felicity Kendal. Phwooar! Time for a cold shower...
Go to sleep now, Francis.

I voted for "Porridge" several times - and "Only Fools and Bloody Horse's" stole it !

"Blackadder" should have won over that "tosh" !

Travesty! If you think about it, the most famous "comedy moment" in Only Fools And Horses is a bloke falling over in a pub. :roll:

Should have been Fawlty Towers from that 10.

From that 10 it should have either been Faulty Towers or Yes Minister!! But I stopped watching it anyway when I found out that not only were the Young ones not in the top 10, but neither was Bottom!!!! WHAT??

Fawlty Towers by about a squillion miles. :notworthy:
Porridge next.
