Father Ted should've been in the top ten! Vicar of Dibley! Porridge! Dad's Army! Don't make me laugh! (literally) It's got to be Only Fools and Horses for consistency alone.

Marshy

29-01-2004, 17:25

dad's army and porridge are quality but vicar of dibley should'nt be there.
But I think that Father Ted didn't get there because its not on BBC where as the Top Ten are!!

Only Fools and Horses for me........classic :cool:

Marshy

29-01-2004, 19:29

no one voted for one foot in the grave yet?? its is a classic but i had to choose only fools

Flipper the Priest

29-01-2004, 19:59

Hey I didn't notice that! Every one a BBC show! Down with the BBC!

BazHilder

Fawlty Towers for sure. Its the only one that always makes me laugh everytime. Only fools and horses a close second.

What about 'The Office' ? What about 'Little Britain'? Two great comedy programmes that make me piss myself every time I watch 'em. Pure brilliance!

The Office was number 25 or sumthing, Little Britain is a sketch show thats why it ain't in here.

Flipper the Priest

31-01-2004, 01:02

The Office did pretty well considering it was only 1 1/2 old when the countdown was compiled.

Only Foola and Horses. A classic.

10-02-2004, 18:50

I'd go for Blackadder. The second series was the best.

ChelseaDave

10-02-2004, 23:31

out of them only fools & horses with blackadder a close second.

Hunter

13-02-2004, 16:28

i votedfor only fools and horses since it is the best there, but i really think you should have put in Alan Partridge because it is hilarious and the main character Steve Coogan got a big award for the programme.

South Dorset Blue

only fools and horses absolute classic you plonkers,luvly jubbly innit

Zero

15-02-2004, 22:13

Out of the ones on there I'd say Only Fools and Horses, it's not really to my taste but still quite watchable.

ChelseaDave

17-02-2004, 00:59

rab c nesbitt!

from those sitcoms i've only seen falwty towers, blackadder and yes minister...and they're bloody brilliant...i've also seen the office, the fast show, my family, goodness gracious me and another about the real life or something...it was like a guy who interwied people in their daily life...doing their jobs etc...

Jonny Wilkinson

21-02-2004, 01:16

It has to be Fawlty Towers , and by the way , don't mention the war!

nath_scfc

21-02-2004, 02:58

porridge, only fools, one foot in the grave, fawlty towers and blackadder are all very good. ive gone for porridge cus it of the phrase, 'Nerk'!!!!! :D :D :D

Gary G

21-02-2004, 04:32

and another about the real life or something...it was like a guy who interwied people in their daily life...doing their jobs etc...

I know what programme you mean, it was called "People like us" & was very funny

ChelseaDave

21-02-2004, 06:29

did u watch that thing at christmas with all these animals gettin interviewed. cant remember what it was called but it was quite funny. i think the same people from wallace & gromit made it.

Gary G

21-02-2004, 16:17

Yeah I caught a couple of them, it was called "creature comforts"

Trigger

02-03-2004, 02:57

thebigmacmoomin

06-03-2004, 21:37

my top 3 is:

1. only fools and horses
2. dads army
3. blackadder

Flipper the Priest

31-03-2004, 01:17

Don't know if anyone realised but full tim ehas been blown on the BBC vote.

Only Fools and Horses took the gold but perhaps surprisingly Blackadder was second and the awful, awful Vicar of Dibley third.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: democracy, doesn't work.

Marshy

31-03-2004, 01:36

Fawlty towers came 5th which is stupid because dibley is absolutly shit!!

speo5

31-03-2004, 01:40

I wanted Blackadder to win but that is my opinion.

Mappa C

31-03-2004, 02:11

I wanted Only Fools and Horses to win, so I got what i wanted :D

ashmufc

31-03-2004, 02:21

only fools and horses should win. pure brtish comedy

Mappa C

31-03-2004, 02:50

It did win. Have you not read the other posts??

ChelseaDave

31-03-2004, 03:19

i wanted blackadder to win out of the two, its the only one that doesnt get repeated millions of times each year. Saying that though, fools & horses is quality

Mambo

31-03-2004, 03:36

Never liked Only Fools and Horses ( :eek: ). Fawlty Towers and Blackadder for me. Disgraceful that Fawlty was so low down

Travis Bickle

31-03-2004, 04:06

Its gotta be Porridge.

Dad's Army
Yes Minister
One Foot In The Grave
The Good Life

Have all got too many old people in them.

Fawlty Towers is a farce more than a situation comedy

The Vicar Of Dibley is more of a shitcom.

Blackadder the only good series was 'goes forth'.

Only Fools And Horses

31-03-2004, 15:07

SHIT, i voted for Dad's Army, i didnt see Only Fools and Horses

MikeyM

02-04-2004, 03:15

porridge, only fools, one foot in the grave, fawlty towers and blackadder are all very good. ive gone for porridge cus it of the phrase, 'Nerk'!!!!! :D :D :D

Yep, the only thing better than that was when Fletcher described Ives as a "despicable nefarious little nerk" :D .

Porridge is an absolute classic, Only Fools is a close second, though it laboured a bit towards the end. The BBC always seem to make one series too many (like Red Dwarf VIII )

Only Fools easily, but Phoenix Nights shudda been on ther and Father Ted

Flipper the Priest

04-04-2004, 04:50

Father Ted makes me piss myself just thinking about it.

Gary G

04-04-2004, 05:59

Father Ted is absolute quality, what are your favourite episodes?

Mine are

Hell This is when Ted, Dougal and Jack go on holiday to a carvan park and have severalrun-ins with a young couple

Think Fast Father Ted When the roof of the parochial house leaks Father Ted organises a raffle to win a car, Ted rigs the raffle so Dougal wins but Jack crashes the car. The roof doesn't get repaired

Are You Right There, Father Ted? Ted finally gets away from Craggy Island but after a misunderstanding about expenses Ted is sent back to Craggy Island. To make things worse Ted is then mistaken for a racist and is forced to organise a celebration of chinese culture to prove he isn't a racist

del boy rules, you can watch only fools today and it is still funny, classic...

dream team

06-04-2004, 01:53

I think Fawlty towers should have won
and the office should have been in the top ten

Jonny2J

08-04-2004, 06:40

del boy rules, you can watch only fools today and it is still funny, classic...haha yea i watched Series 4 today, where Uncle Albert arrives and dives down the Nag's Head;s cellar to try n get some compensation

carol vauderman the bitch turned it into a men v women vote she never spoke abt the programme jus saying vicar of dibley was the only female character in the top 10 so all the split arses started voting for that, vic of dib above porridge no way!! father ted shud have been 3rd! the reason it wasntr cos it wasnt from the bbc

Monkeylover

08-04-2004, 17:37

vicar of dibley was only there because Father Ted is on channel 4.
Father Ted is way better, Dibley is wank

tomo1811

08-04-2004, 17:54

dibley aint wank! but f-ted is so much funnier it wud have made it in the top 5 easy

Gary G

08-04-2004, 21:40

father ted shud have been 3rd! the reason it wasntr cos it wasnt from the bbc

I agree with that, it was a bit of a con that all the top 10 were BBC sitcoms, Father Ted should definitely have been top 5 at least.

Vicar Of Dibley is ok sometimes but doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the top 10

Marshy

08-04-2004, 23:21

The vicar of dibley, yes minister and the good life should have been replaced with phoenix nights, the office and father ted with father ted coming tenth!!!

ChelseaDave

09-04-2004, 05:27

i think the vicar of dibley is pure shite. its not funny at all imo. Father Ted is soooo much better in terms of being a sitcom & aswell as being one based on the church. damn father ted is hilarious!

tomo1811

09-04-2004, 16:37

The vicar of dibley, yes minister and the good life should have been replaced with phoenix nights, the office and father ted with father ted coming tenth!!!

i totally agree, i think for it to been taken seriously to been done on a neutral channel i.e itv or sky1

Monkeylover

10-04-2004, 17:27

Monkeylover

10-04-2004, 17:28

only 1 character is remotley funny in the vicar of dibley and thats alice, though its only her reactions to what is said thats funny

luszpynskyj

10-04-2004, 18:29

father ted is quality, like one of the worser episodes was on the other day, the europen song contest one, but even that was funny.

Dougal: i'm just excited about the eurovision contest, what time is it Ted?
Ted: half one
Dougal: and when does the contest start?
Ted: May

You have got to be joking, that's probably my favourite episode. I've watched it about over 20 times and it gets funnier every time. Father TEd should have been in the top 10 at least.

Best three sitcoms - Blackadder
Father Ted
Only fools and Horses

Monkeylover

10-04-2004, 18:35

my favourite episode of ted is either kicking bishop brennan up the arse or when dougal converts the bishop into a hippy

wixon

10-04-2004, 20:56

how did the office not get into the top ten? it was down in 26th place behind my family in 25th. unbelieveable!

father ted at number 11. hmmmm...

tomo1811

15-04-2004, 05:04

kickin bishop brennan up the arse is class!! and the king of the sheep.

dougals description of the beats is class!!! absolutley amazing

Henry_IS_God

21-04-2004, 11:29

My Family is class its better than ne of the ones in the list aprt from only fools and horses and porridge

only fools and horses is the best!!

Blackadder and OFAT.
The classic chandelier and falling through the bar scenes are hilarious no matter how often you see them.
And yes, The Office should definitely be on there for ground-breaking and brilliant humour (if a little cringe-making at times). Dance for me, Brentmeister.

Never really watched Father Ted but I don't know why cos the bits I have seen were brilliant. Saw a bit of an episode where 3 bishops go to the house to check up on them and Dougal convinces one of them that God doesn't exist. Doesn't particularly sound funny but the whole episode itself was brilliant.
