    So which is it?
    Loved Fawlty Towers and The Office and Only Fools And Horses but found the embarrassing **** too much to the point it was slmost stressful.
    As a kid I loved Porridge and for some weird ass reason I liked Butterflies and The Good Life.
    The Young One was great as a teenager but my two favourites are Red Dwarf and Blackadder.
    I have them on google play and when Mrs RCL works away I go to sleep with them playing on my tablet (cos I hate the silence) but sometimes, as I am dozing off , I piss myself laughing and end up wide awake!

    Sorry RCL but as a 6/7 yr old forced to watch Butterflies it was depressing! You'll probably get grief for not including something or other, so I'm going to get mine in first IT Crowd.

    And now I'll make all that completely irrelevant by voting for Red Dwarf <laugh>

    The quarantine episode in particular is stand out.

    Extras and Phoenix nights never did it for me though.

    Bottom was great, Rik Mayall is my favourite famous person ever.

    Butterflies was truely depressing and was nothing like anything in my life but for some reason I liked it...weird as **** to be honest but I really liked it as a kid...think I was about 13 ish!
    Think I was busy with my kids so missed the whole IT crowd thing.

    Talking of Mayall, what about The New Statesman?

    He was so hilariously crooked in it..

    None of Steve Coogan, Chris Morris, Victor Lewis-Smith's stuff?

    Drop the Dead Donkey was really good as a satirical and topical comedy too.

    Have to say I'm now having second thoughts. I dont think I can have an absolute favourite as there are 3 or 4 that could be a tie.
