    After the tragic passing away of the great Windsor Davies, time for a poll I think.

    ER puts on his Thinking Woman's Crumpet Hat and pontificates learnedly...................hmmm.

    Not technically British but Mrs. Brown’s boys for me. Absolutely hilarious

    1) Porridge
    2) Only Fools
    3) The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin

    Special mentions go to George & Mildred, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, and Rising Damp.

    Never watched it but it looks utter ****, on a par with Only Fools And Horses.

    Why is it "technically" not British?

    Miranda for me. Her falling over things and acting like a goofball had audiences and viewers in stitches. Why had no one had thought of it before? Pure, original entertainment.

    Rossiter and Barker are the undoubted kings of the sitcom.

    You would have to put Patricia Routledge and Mervyn Hayes in there as well.

    Rising Damp was actually quite funny. Black Books, too.

    Most 'British' sitcoms are absolute English, middle-class ****e like To The Manor Born, The Good Life and Ever Decreasing Circles. Utter drivel for aged morons.

    Red Dwarf is fantastic.
