Off Topic Things you’d like banned

Unlike you

 

The standard of writing and acting, particularly in the first five series, is unsurpassed. It’s a masterpiece of British TV.

It depicts a London that has now sadly vanished.

 

“Brace yourself Rodney….”

 

I’d ban Christmas

 

I’d also ban fancy dress parties

 

Or anything else that is “fun”

 

Cyclists actually live 10 years longer than petrol-heads .

 

Not on the roads round here they wouldn’t, which is why I keep to the prom along the seafront

 

I never cycle on little country roads. Too dangerous, especially the speed I go. No Jason Kenny me.

 

You can't beat Love thy Neighbour.

 

We had some really good comedy shows - Porridge, the two Ronnies , Morcombe & Wise etc etc I can’t stand yank humour !

 

Canned laughter should be binned.

 

Stiffler from American Pie is a very funny man. But usually the Yank humour is not good.

 

Cheers was funny

 

The godfather of British Comedy was Spike Milligan - perhaps the funniest man to ever live. His work is never repeated on TV - The Q series was genius.

Peter Cook was a 2nd

then Stephen Fry

I am afraid their like is gone

 

Cheers and Mash were the only 2 tv shows that worked for me

Friends was absolute garbage.

 

The Middle is pure class. A work of beauty from the Yanks. Anyone who hasn't seen it has missed out.

 

On Friday went to see Juno and the Paycock. It was set in 1922 during the Irish Civil War. Fantastic play beautifully written and acted. Very poignant but also very funny. I recommend it.

 

Things That Should Be Banned.

90 day UK visas.

 

Mash was great until they put that ghastly canned laughter on it.
