60's spy drama with a light hearted style. In the same mould as Man From Uncle, that show had Vaughn and McCallum a great duo, this had Robert Culp and Bill Cosby, who were perfect together.

Rik Mayall in full throttle as the right wing politician Alan B'Stard This is manically funny in places, it actually gets more outrageous as we go from season to season. The Conservative party under Thatcher were not amused by this depiction of a tory party member.

John Alderton was a big comedy star of this era and made his name in this teenage students versus teachers comedy.

Written by Vince Powell, this like his previous show Love Thy Neighbour, mired in the controversy of being racist. Both shows are unlikely to be seen again on reruns,which is a pity, it's all a bit of fun. The ethnic actors in this lets laugh at foreigners trying to speak English comedy have...

A real acquired taste this, a very British comedy, set in Northern England, in Rugby League country, following the dysfunctional Brandon family Special praise for Robin Bailey playing Uncle Mort, a permanently morose embittered OAP , and Stephen Rea as Carter, the workshy grandson. Here the two...

This series passed me by originally but have been going through it and it has some very funny episodes. Patricia Rutledge and Clive Swift are excellent as are the the rest of the cast really. Written by Roy 'Summer Wine' Clarke, so the escapades are beautifully put together and I particularly...

Children's Sci Fi series created by Classic Who writers Bob Baker and Dave Martin. Marc Harrison gives an eerie performance as the titular Sky, a time traveller, human or alien, it's not immediately clear which, who is stranded in1975 England, pursued by a future assassin seeks help from farm...

This is a BBC comedy with Richard Briers and Penelope Wilton, later to find fame in NuWho. Briers stated that this was his best role on tv , better even than Tom Good in The Good Life. I'd never heard of EDC until about a year ago, but wow ! it's brilliant. In the last year I've seen all four...

Well loved 70's sitcom with Richard O'Sullivan as Robin Tripp, an apprentice chef rooming with two girls, all living in a house owned by The Ropers, George and Mildred , later with their own show. Incredibly popular at the time as was O'Sullivan's next series, also as Robin in Robin's Nest...

Classic comedy from the 70's. This was a spin off series featuring George and Mildred Roper who first appeared in Man About The House. Excellent performances from Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce. I think this holds up very well even today, and is really funny.
