......and as they cross the line tied together. Photo finish!

This is a really tough decision.

By the cringe, it's Del Boy by a nose.

This was a very unfortunate draw. It should have been the final. One of the other quarter-finals has two members of the Isthmian League arrayed against each other.



I sense the winner of this tie will romp to ultimate victory.

The Isthmian League - crikey! Is that still going? Any relation to the Leyland DAF Trophy?

I decided to try a simple rule of thumb; if Fawlty Towers was on BB1 whilst Dad's Army was simultaneously on BBC2, which would I watch.

I'm gutted to see Steptoe losing out to Porridge too.

Simple...record one and watch the other

Now you're going to ask me which one you'd record, aren't you?

A very difficult choice. In the end I chose Dad's Army because just to hear the name makes me smile. Incidently, when I first starting watching the programme I was Pyke, now I'm Godfey!
Start every day with a smile and get it over with.

I think what is a massive advantage for any comedy listed in this poll is how recently the series was last seen on television?
Seeing recent re-runs of a comedy series on television is certainly better than trusting one's memory on the quality of another series.

I also think that some may decide to vote against 'Only Fools And Horses' because the series has been repeated so often. Yet when the shows were first aired they were fresh and brilliant.

Dave.

So it's an advantage in a poll if it's been seen recently. But for Only Fools and Horses it's a disadvantage that it's been seen recently?

Errm

You're assuming this Forum isn't populated by old duffers like me, who hasn't even watched most of the recent ones..........
