The Office anyone?

Absolutely the biggest load of dog s***e ever on telly to masquerade as funny

That's it, utter rubbish wasn't it?

It was poor - but was it as bad as The Kit Curran Radio Show...?

Never heard of that and after watching that clip I'm quite happy to have never encountered it.

 

[flake99please]

Sorry

Well, a clue was in the title.

Much like I. On the Buses was about the only thing I recognised. @Drago obviously had a misspent yoof

Holiday on the buses (big screen) was on TV many years ago on New Year's Eve. For some reason I can still remember the write up in the TV / Radio Times. "The worst film you will see this or any other year".

Has anyone mentioned The Brittas Empire yet?

I've s**t things that were funnier than Ricky Gerais. Mind you, compared to James Corden he's hilarious.

They were all 'of their time' but times have moved on and most dont either sit well now or didn't age well. Comedy, drama, lots of stuff from that era had its place then but looks silly now.
No doubt they'll be saying the same in 2050 about the stuff we're watching now.

Citizen Khan anyone?

I'll have to give you the virtual prize, but there is a more tangible connection.
The beach scene where Ursula Andress is singing #Underneath the Mango Tree# - well, it's not actually her singing, it is in fact Diana Coupland. Apparently she did a fair bit of voice over stuff, as well playing the wife of Sid James in Bless This House.

It was a spot of luck with that one.

I'm reading this at the moment, and two days before your post saw this passage.

2.4 Children, and also every other BBC sitcom in the 21st century.

That was a proper bag of poo, seemed a bit American in style.

There's at least one top class BBC comedy from recent times though, Still Game never fails to make me laugh.
