Faulty Towers stopped after two series because John Cleese decided it had peaked and that further episodes would not be as good. It’s a shame the folks at the BBC don’t learn from their history. I doubt the BBC would get away with re runs of Fawlty Towers. It is too politically incorrect - Though in the Spanish version of it, Manuel was Portuguese. I never knew that. It’s a brilliant little fact. Let me share another one with you. When Fawlty Towers was being sold to the US, the people charged with adapting it for a US audience made two (seemingly bizarre but brilliant) changes. First they wrote out Basil, second they moved the setting from a seaside hotel to a city centre bar. Consequently, Cheers was born.

It's not that surprising really. It's an open public vote and MBB has the broadest appeal. Also fans of MBB are far more likely to vote in contests like this than fans of Fleabag or Afterlife. That’s democracy, as we are all too aware, people often get it drastically wrong But more often than not, get it drastically right. 2016 in particular was a great year for democracy 😉

It's widely reported that Mrs Brown's Boys is very popular amongst the autistic community. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions from that particular piece of information. Ye but there’s autistic and then there’s autistic. Hopefully it’s the autistic ones that like it.

Ive never understood the appeal of Mrs Browns boys
A man dressed as a woman nearly saying 'Fuck' on national television
And theyve squeezed several years out of that

Jesus Christ Almighty God. Kill me now🤯 I haven't sorted out the TV licence yet since moving into the new place, other things took priority, based on this breaking news I might not bother and just not answer the door when they come knocking.

I fail to see what could be funnier than an old woman character repeatedly saying “feckin hell Winnie “ and 2 blokes walking into a kitchen in fancy dress costumes. There’s some miserable folks on here.

Mrs Brown’s boys is right up there with Miranda, Michael McIntyre and Sarah Millican for not being funny.Still, the BBC knows best in spending the licence fees.
I know that the episodes have long since been set on fire, driven through with a stake, exorcised and buried 50 feet underground, but as a boy I used to love watching It ain’t half hot mum with my dad and we would roar with laughter from start to finish. This clip still makes me chuckle now.

Mr La di da gunner Graham who was the punker waller very funny but now apparently unacceptable to the woke brigade so off limits to all, the cancel culture needs cancelling.

Sadly most 70's and early 80's comedy wouldn't even make rehearsals cuz it would inevitably upset some sad twat today.

Back in the days of It'll be alright on the night It ain't half hot featured loads, mainly Windsir Davies not being able to hold it in. I bet on set he was an absolute pisser.
