1 Show I never missed here In The USA In The 70s (It Would be On At 1130PM At Night
Its......"The Benny Hill Show!".............detective
Ian, I have all the episodes in my computer. I watched them as a kid. But I still watch them with my kids. I love this show. Often wonder how religious groups will take the humour these days.doh laugh
if you look at the comments on youtube most laugh..even younger generations
That was so funny I couldn't stop laughing..

I use to love to watch Mrs Brown's boys.. love this episode.

Yeh....great TV back in the 70s and 80s...too many to mention here...applause
but who remembers this

I love English humour but FAWLTY TOWERS was my favourite comedy..laugh

Land of the Giants, was one of my favourite programmes
liked sooty and sweep also oh" and of course Andy Pandy and the flower pot men hole
Land of the giants...yea wow !!!
In that case Ian, i'm sure also you watched LOST IN SPACE...
sure missed those programmes when we left England in the early 70's.. sigh
all of them...
Loved the old crime shows....my favourite by far had to be the SWEENEY..dancing beer
Enjoyed "all creatures great and small"...
I´m with Itchy here. Fawlty Towers was my favourite! I have all the videos.

Also enjoyed the Two Ronnies, and the Russ Abbott show.thumbs up
Golly, there's a blast from the past. laugh

I come from a mixed background, so the humour resonated. I remember my mum being weak with laughter over Mind Your Language, in particular.

I also remember experiencing a lot of unpleasant prejudice in my childhood. I wonder how much those programmes contributed to humanising people from different cultures - I remember becoming very attached to the characters.
It was the prequel to 'Allo 'Allo, eh? (but better)
Hey Ian,

I'm not too familiar with UK TV, but I agree with Nam, one of the shows I used to watch here late night, was The Benny Hill Show. Loved it! laugh

Have a cool day. cool
Sad coz the teacher Mr brown, ended up a taxi driver and was found dead in his house after police went to see him after they had recovered his stolen car..he could never shake off his boyhood image and couldn't seem to find work in the TV business after mind your language.
confused oh...confused
The Professionals , Minder , The Sweeney etc

Morecombe & Wise , Kenny Everett , The Two Ronnies , Tommy Cooper , Open All Hours , Last Of The Summer Wine and loads more thumbs up
I loved all these shows Ian, can you remember the two Ronnies? I loved the "Fork Handles" scetch. laugh rolling on the floor laughing
ian
I remember The Two Ronnies...very funny show...many of the British shows were really good...Americans have many TV shows modeled around them...one was Three's Company...wine
