On That's TV, proper old school brilliant easy viewing makes a nice change from the crap they pass as entertainment these days.
 
Have you noticed that the best British comedies are about people who would like to get away from each other but can't? They're trapped together, e.g. Porridge, Red Dwarf, Ghosts, Steptoe. I don't think that applies to American shows.
 
Still do catch up on Fawlty Towers , brilliant and still a good laugh .

Doubt Auntie Beeb would ever tolerate that dialogue now , cannot offend or upset viewers .

PC gone mad , Benny Hill cast into the wilderness , sexist but nonsense then tolerated .

Scriptwriter with a story involving diversity inclusion and tolerance will get the gig .

Alf Garnett , West amm innit , must be so uncool now to the new generation of younsters .
