    Re: Fawlty Towers , Porridge

    I’m a doctor and I want my sausages and that scene where Basil has a kipper sticking out the top of his jumper.

    Sludge would.

    I used to know an old musician who reckoned she was one of the most talentless people he'd worked with.

    I still laugh everytime I see the scene where Basil realises that the dead guy wasnt killed by eating the kipper and starts jumping up and down shouting hooray as the doctor walks in.

    But Fawlty Towers , Porridge etc are so well written they still seem fresh

    Fawlty Titties
    This is still one of the funniest scenes I have seen

    This isn't far behind

    I've seen a couple of episodes of One foot in the grave in recent years and still find much of it just as funny

    Superbly written sitcom. All the little, seemingly unlinked threads are there at the start of each episode and it all pulls together like a tapestry. It's not difficult to spot that David Renwick also wrote Jonathan Creek.

    I'll raise you this attempt to escape from Ronnie and Mildred.... https://youtu.be/Daw9v3wIhNY?t=524

    Ah good old Ronnie and Mildred.

    Yes you are right. Renwick is a clever writer. Haven't seen all the Jonathan Creeks but some of them are excellent. Must try and see some more sometime.

    Richard Wilson gives me the excuse to segue to another of my favourite old series......

    Someone who doesn’t date is Groucho, obviously brilliant in The Marx Bros films but the ‘50s show ‘You Bet Your Life’ (catch it on YouTube) is superb television. The man was a genius in any era.

Tommy Cooper’s jokes would have me laughing despite me also thinking that’s one of the most feeble things I’ve heard - it’d be interesting to see the reaction of a young audience to his act, I really don’t know what they would make of it.
    Tommy Cooper was a good magician. He was a member of the Magic Circle

    Watched some old clips of Dave Allen recently, still found them very funny indeed.

    Wikipedia says it was founded in 1905. That's a long time to refuse to admit women, especially as Prince Charles, who I'm quite sure is not an experienced stage magician, was allowed in in 1975.

    I Know we've moved a bit away from the sitcoms

    But I know likes Pete and Dud in the Derek and Clive personna's.

    Here though is one of my favourite sketchs from their 60's show Not Only But Also

    Sadly in common with many shows of the period a lot have been wiped.

    However this gloriously silly sketch is one of those that survives

    I think I have put it on here before but it is good enough for a second showing

    I present The Leaping Nuns of Norwich

    Oh and a bonus the Art Gallery Sketch
