Feck! Arse! Drink! Its gotta be Father Ted. I remember I used to like Dave Allen, but I can't think of any now. Also, early Eddie Izzard...live. I saw him in Norwich and London, brilliant. Oh, and Jeremy Hardy in Brighton - didn't know him, but I had free tickets - terrific he was. We always like Just A Minute on Radio 4, and the Irish bloke off Gardeners Question Time (John Cushnie?) he deserves his own show.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

I have to agree about Jeremy Hardy. I saw him in Hull a couple of years ago. He spoke for 2 hours, unscripted, and was an absolute scream. Also love Green Wing and Father Ted.Last edited by Flummery; 13-03-2007, 07:51 PM.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Sorry, there are too many to choose just one.
I still laugh at old stuff like The Navy Lark, Round the Horne, TWTWTW, Monty Python, anything with Ronnie Barker, (but not Ronnie Corbett!) Up Pompeii, Carry Ons with Sid James and Kenneth Williams; Allo Allo, Dad's Army, Ain't half hot mum, Are you being served; anything with Julie Walters/Victoria Wood; Recently enjoyed Jam and Jerusalem. I could go on.
What I don't laugh at are Fawlty Towers, Benny Hill; some things are too cringe making, and I dont like seeing people belittled or hurt.Comment

Python is a classic along with Farty towels ( or the other variants of Fawlty towers).
Alot of the modern stuff I just don;t find funny I'm afraid ( must be me age) although I did enjoy Posh Nosh.
The only other has got to be the Blackadder series I think.Last edited by nick the grief; 13-03-2007, 08:14 PM.ntg

Has to be Father Ted. Also love Ronnie Corbet in Open all Hours and Love The Royle Family. They do it so well and mostly just stay in the same room. Particularly love the granny in it.

Just a Minute and Sorry I haven't a Clue on the Radio (Humphrey Lyttleton is just ace!) but anything with David Jason on the TV, the Two Ronnies and the Good Life.
......... oh and the greatest of all time, Morcambe and Wise doing the Breakfast Scene to the music of the Stripper .... giggling even thinking of it!~

I'm with JA on this.... virtually any panel show on R4, anything involving Andy Hamilton, and on TV, HIGNFY and I loved People like Us, both radio and TV version.

Further to Father Ted, one line still sticks in my mind, and reduces me to almost helpless laughter. Ted said to the old 'drink' vicar "what would you say to a nice cup of tea?" To which the reply came "Feck off, cup!"

LOL. I loved Father Ted too, but for me the punch line of all time has to be :
'Infamy, infamy. They've all got it infamy!'
Julius Caeser (Kenneth Wiliams) in Carry on Cleo.
I was about 12 at the time and thought the play on words wonderful.Comment

The Milky Milk sketches were performed by Punt and Dennis.
My choices would have to be absolutely anything by Monty Python, very early Billy Connolly (so long as I can include the incontinence sketch from "An Audience With") and I really enjoy QI.Rat
