So yeah, I’ll revise it and say she’s ok, but I don’t think she’s nation’s acting sweetheart or whatever it is she’s viewed as. Didn’t see Cilla, couldn’t stand her so not bothered about learning the story behind how she ruined a Bacharach/David song. You won't find me arguing with you about Priscilla White as her brother John was an old drinking buddy of mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Britain for one - I remember Walliams saying something similar recently. The Thick of It as well. It would just be too 'offensive' for some people nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno. Does it mean that you're young, or that you're old? (I'm indisputably old, and I hate them - although many of my contemporaries would disagree).

mjmooney Posted February 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2018 Actually, there is precious little comedy (TV, film, live) that I really enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted February 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2018 Regarding carry on, most of it is terrible and dated, some of it is amusing (in a naff, saucy postcard sort of way). The one thing that I find endearing about them is that they seemed to be really enjoying themselves, which, whether the end result is good or shit is always nice to see.

They do but what always saddens me is that many of them had very messed up personal lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I used to love Bottom when I was a kid <Insert Kenneth Williams pic here>, but I think it has aged terribly. Also see The Young Ones. They both have clips and jokes I consider to be classics, but I find it very difficult to watch an entire episode of either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it’s the Young ones that has aged worse but that’s hardly surprising and it’s still great. Bottom is so good it’s timeless, that gas episode is amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2018 I liked The Young Ones a lot. But I thought Bottom was crap. Of that generation I did like several of the "Comic Strip Presents..." strand. Wouldn't watch them more than once, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
