My mother in law is scarily like Hyacinth & my father in law is scarily like Onslow, a bit worrying really!

Saw that t'other day. That is really showing its age now. Esp the Thatcher jokes (just replace with Blair).

Red Dwarf, Open All Hours, Black Adder, Bottom...Umm... and others


Added: Oh yea, I forgot 'Two Pints' bloody good! Whens the next series?

Black Adder, Fawlty Towers (Parents have hotel so means extra to us)

And The Best British Sitcom...
Black Books!

[anhamgrimmar]

Red Dwarf for me all the way!

and in a completly random thread derailment, can anyone help me with identifying a tv programme? (i didnt think this was worth its own thread)

about halfway through the 90's, on BBC1 i think. it was a sci-fi series involving an alien invasion of the UK, and the fight back. thats about all i can remember apart from the end of series cliff hangar was two tornados flying through some sort of gateway on a bombing mission.

[gopher]

Lots of good suggestions that I agree with but Yes (Prime) Minister because it is so depressingly funny
