Rhodes Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 LATO - I've never watched Reggie Perrin, Red Dwarf, Big Bang Theory, Butterflies and Phoenix Nights and dislike Rowan Atkinson, Nigel Planer and John Cleese so have generally steered clear of Blackadder, the Young Ones and Fawlty Towers over the years. That just leaves Dad's Army and the Good Life and I only watched the latter in sufferance because of Felicity Kendal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFC Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Barker was the best, never be anyone to equal him. Hard pressed to disagree though the common denominator of The Good Life and Yes Minister deserves a mention imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
