Well, as the contenders for the Top 10 are all BBC Sitcoms .... Rolling Eyes


I loved the super-imposed interviews during the sitcom cases.

I caught the top of the programme after the 21:55 junction and got as far as Mr Ross imposing his filth on the programme with "the funniest sit-com since Jeffry Archer came out of prison bow-legged".

I'm afraid I can't cope with Ross and his "let's be filthy just for the sake of it" style, so immediately switched off.

A pity, as the programme might just have been of interest, if it hadn't been for the presenter.

You left to early Nick

You could have heard Ross asking Clarissa Dickson Wright if she was really Open All Hours.

I find him hysterical and one of the best assets the BBC has. Far funnier than the over rated Graham Norton, with his set up interviews

Well, The Good Life and One Foot In The Grave have now gone.

David Dickinson is just referring to his original arguement! Razz

I may sound old before my time, but I agree with Nick. Mr Woss is an unbearable vile, vulgar and unfunny man and it's neither big nor clever.

His pathetic schoolboy antics on They Think It's All Over have already wrecked what was once an otherwise entertaining half hour.

Fair enough, Marcus, we're simply into a matter of opinion on this one, and yours is as valid as mine.

I think it's down to age with Mr Ross, younger people can probably cope with him better.

I just find it very sad that he's now stopped me watching They Think it's all Over AND this programme.

Well the voting isn't going as I thought... Fawlty Towers out 5th and the Vicar of Dibley still in it. How is this getting so many votes?

Vicar of Dibley top THREE material?
It's not even TOP TWENTY material.
This whole thing is a major swiz - the BBC are trying to get their most PC sit com of all into this position.

You have an unhealthy obsession with so-called political correctness Rolling Eyes
