Hi, Upbringing prob does have an effect, you're prob right. Of the ones you mention I liked Sykes, also add in Fawlty Towers, My Wife Next Door, Rising Damp, Not In Front Of The Children, Up Pompeii, The Goodies and a couple of others. The American ones you mention are all awful, yes. Much better were I Love Lucy, Soap, Addams family, Bilko, Monkees, Munsters, I Dream Of Jeannie, Get Smart, Mary Tyler Moore Show, Munsters, MASH, Flintstones, mostly good scriptwriters and actors, mostly fantasy, not to mention lesser shows like Bewitched, My favourite Martian, Rhoda, Phyllis, The Odd Couple, The Partridge Family, F Troop, Chico And The Man, Barney Miller, Bob Newhart Show, Car 54 Where Are You... cool.gif

I never got into Rising Damp. It's one of the few ITV sitcoms that would probably make a list of the all time greats but for some reason I just didn't like it. I enjoyed My Wife Next Door at the time but I'm not convinced it will have aged very well. The same applies to Not In Front Of The Children. Fawlty Towers remains a classic. The Goodies were great fun until they moved to ITV.

I think you're prob right, the last time I rewatched My Wife Next Door it wasn't as good as I remembered it to be. I think I was biased cos I liked Hannah Gordon and the concept... cool.gif

Number 62:

MR DIGBY DARLING (1969) 8.25m

I had hope for a clip of this at least, but can't find one. It was repeated by Granada Plus, about 15 years back.

Roland Digby's home life is less than perfect. His children run riot and his wife wants more. The only peace of mind Mr Digby enjoys is in his office at Rid-O-Rat pesticide manufacturers. At Rid-O-Rat he's every need is dealt with by his faithful P.A.

Cast:
Peter Jones as Roland Digby
Sheila Hancock as Thelma Teesdale
Beryl Cooke as Olive
Norman Chappell as Chambers
Brian Oulton as Mr Trumper
Janet Brown as Joyce
Peter Stephens as Mr Baiey
Michael Bates as Norman Stanhope

I would vote this sitcom, one of the worse of all time. It was very much like the awful "Take A Letter Mr Jones" (a 1981 other vehicle for John Inman, assisting Rula Lenska). Both were the worst possible programmes I've ever seen.

Number 61:

THE DUSTBINMEN (1969) 8.25m

Equally garbage!

Jack Rosenthal's comedy creation. One of the grittier sit-coms in many ways, The Dustbinmen provoked outrage from the bodies who wanted to clean up TV, but the viewers loved it. Why?

Cast:
Bryan Pringle as Cheese and Egg
Trevor Bannister as Heavy Breathing
Graham Haberfield as Winston Platt
John Barrett as 'Smellie' Ibbotson
Tim Wylton as Eric
Paula Wilcox as Naomi
Brian Wilde as Bloody Delilah

What a great thread, Dave!
Keep it going, please!
Would be nice to have the similar sort of list for the 70's and 80's...

Dave, you missed No.70...
