MY SON REUBEN

FEET FIRST

UP THE WORKERS

YANKS GO HOME

PARADISE ISLAND

all completely unfunny. FEET FIRST was probably ahead of its time being set in a football club.

The Detectives with Robert Powell and Jasper Carrot was a funny show, but came and went as quick as a flash. Some are repeated on the sky channels I believe.

Even when top writers such as Johnny Speight went over to ITV,they still couldn't come up with decent comedy. Here are my favourite ITV sitcoms which I found funny:
Keep It In The Family
Outside Edge
Watching

Romany Jones has to be one of the worst. Even the death of the star (James Beck) couldn't bring a halt to its atrociousness.

Two with Andrew Sachs -

There Comes a Time (Sachs as dying businessman)

Dead Ernest (Sachs as dead poolswinner in heaven)

Maybe Sachs had a deathwish in the 80s!

I agree it was funny,but it was a BBC vehicle - that's why it was funny.

My goodness!

The ITV shows that people have come up with as bad must have been simply appalling - I've checked through those listed and have absolutely no memory of any of them. That's not altogether surprising as I don't think I've ever seen anything remotely funny on ITV.
All the best

I hated 'Not On Your Nellie' with a passion. Never found Hilda Baker funny.

Anyone remember these 80s ITV classics?
CHALK AND CHEESE
DR'S DAUGHTERS
What was the one that lasted just its 6 (?) episode run about some young Jewish guy(recall a motorcycle perhaps?) and it got shifted from primetime to a graveyard slot?
I hear the Union Jack still remains.I see Namijira in custody
and I see Truganini's in chains.
