Hi.

What is your favorite?

I like Blackadder II, `potato` the episode with Tom Baker as the leggless sea captain.

`You have a WOMANS purse`!!!!!!!!!!!!

`The crew M`lord`?
`Yes.......... the crew`!

And of course there is the fools and horses episode with the chandelier

We`re changin` lodggggggggings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought the best in Blackadder II was any episode where Miranda Richardson was being at her petulant best as Queen Elizabeth I.

"Who's Queen?"

DB7

Corporal Punishment and the death Speckled Jim.

The Peter Sellers episode in Sykes and the Leonard Rossiter one in and Steptoe and Son. Similar but so very different ..... Sellers (and his corpsing) makes the Sykes episode probably more fun than it should be, while the Rossiter episode features more 'real' drama than ITV's drama department have produced in about 5 years ..... and that ending, brilliance.

Happy Birthday Daddy .... I love you!

Whilst I love Blackadder, the best episode for me was the kipper and the corpse from Fawlty Towers.
The brilliant interplay between Basil and Manuel, carting Mr. Leeman's dead body around the hotel, and having to negotiate the likes of Miss Tibbs, the Welsh couple and the Major was utterly hilarious.
The scene wher Miss Tibbs faints and lies prostrate on the landing after seeing the corpse, Basil says,
." oh spiffing, absolutely spiffing, two down 25 to go!"..

The Porridge episode "Happy Release" is a classic for all amateur horticulturists of no fixed abode.

David Jason is in it too.

love thy neighbour when Eddie dresses as a black man complete with afro the episode is called refused a drink and he blacks his face with shoe dye instead of boot polish

Live each day to the full because one day it will be your last.

Dads Army - Was it 'The Deadly Attachment'? The one with Philip Madoc as the U-Boat Captain with 'Ze List'..'Don't tell him Pike!'

.....You couldn't hear it, if they were shooting at me with howitzers!

David Brent

So many classic episodes from 'Steptoe & Son' but the episodes The Holiday, The Desperate Hours and the one where Albert gets robbed by "Four skinheads and a Pakistani" are particular faves.

I love the one where Albert teaches Harold to dance but teaches him 'all the birds steps!'

.....You couldn't hear it, if they were shooting at me with howitzers!

Husky

How about the one where they split the house in half, and have half the TV each...

Brigger

Or the one with the What the Butler Saw machine... and Albert turns out to be the male lead, much to Harolds disgust.

"Rosewood, mahogany, teak?"
"Pardon?"
"What would you like your breakfast tray made out of?"

Communication Problems has some classic lines as well:
"May I ask what you expect to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera house perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically.....
"Well I shall expect a discount."
"Why, because Krakatoa isn't erupting at the moment?"


Any FT episode does it for me but I think The Psychiatrists just edges them all. The scene where he emerges from the cupboard with the brush is priceless. "Right, the games up! Er, bit of game pie - got stuck up there last year."

Do you know where they sell French food?
France I believe, if you catch the tide now you could be there in 6 hours.The swim should sharpen your appetite.

It is incredible that by just scrolling down the posts the various comedy gems comes to life - and I'm sitting here laughing so hard. The kipper and the corpse, Basil the rat and The Germans would have to be works of genius. Blackadder - the Prince regent and Dr Johnson and the dictionary; and of course one foot in the grave - the one where he has the relations ashes and the ginseng tables get muddled up with the suppositories. Father Ted (but it's Irish, isn't it?) There are some episodes of Absolute Power that are very good - but for sheer side splitting, asphyxiating bladder weakening humour, for me - and this is subjective - Fawlty towers.
