ahh whose line was excellent. i dont know how i forgot it, i blame the gin, opium and tuppance *****s. alan partridge was excellent i concour on that one old chap.
luckily you didnt tell me to put the office. ricky gervais was excellent in the 11 o clock show but like a lot of people who have worked in offices it just made me cringe a hell of a lot more than it made me laff.

You can't be seriously suggesting that Shaun of the dead is a part of your great comedy tradition? It simply can't be compared to stuff like:
'Alo 'Alo
Yes (prime) Minister
The Piglet Files
Only fools and Horses
You rang milord
Fawlty Towers
...

[omg]

i was typing all the modern comedies that came into my addled mind.
good you added the classics k:
lest we forget.
i dont think shaun is better than allo allo. nothing is better than allo allo. i have met bulgarians who can quote whole sections of allo allo |(but in bulgarian so i understand one word in evry 10)

That one's one of my all time favourites (I've been crazy enough to buy the DVDs, actually). It still baffles me, that YM/YPM was Margaret Thatcher's favourite TV series. That would mean she actually had a sense of humour. But she seems to have been able to hide it rather well most of the time. Probably in one of those hideous handbags of hers...

[omg]

i think she probably liked it because it said things like "blessed be the word of the pm"
i love yes prime minister, dont know why i didnt put it there,

Allo allo? Allo allo? ewwwww. Yes Minister does indeed rock though - I love the way it's equally relevant these days. Shows the rate of change of politics.

[omg]

allo allo used to make me rofl when i was a kid. so i still like it as it brings a pleasent feeling of nostalgia.

I suppose Humphrey's answer to that would be: "Well Minister, if you ask me for a straight answer, then I shall say that, as far as we can see, looking at it by and large, taking one thing with another in terms of the average of departments, then in the final analysis it is probably true to say, that at the end of the day, in general terms, you would probably find that, not to put too fine a point on it, there probably wasn't very much in it one way or the other. As far as one can see, at this stage."
