(and many more besides).

Anywaay... I've voted "Other: The Goodies" 




The BBC have never repeated The Goodies, and there seems to be some kind of dispute around this. I used to love it.

Voted for Dad's Army from the list, with more than honourable mention for the mad hotelier.

I know it's a minority opinion but I hated Fawlty Towers.

I have a friend who looks and acts just like the tightwad groveler on Rising Damp.....not a bad show but light years behind the two seasons of Faulty Towers.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
