Which classic British sitcom from the past deserves the top spot in TV history?
Britain has produced some of the finest comedy telly the world has ever seen. Time to rank the golden oldies that still make us snort tea out of our noses.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Only Fools and Horses
Del Boy, Rodney and the yellow three-wheeled van gave us decades of catchphrases and one legendary bar-flap moment. This time next year, we'll still be quoting it.
B
Fawlty Towers
John Cleese's chaotic Torquay hotelier crammed more comedy into 12 episodes than most shows manage in 12 series. Basil Fawlty thrashing his car remains peak British rage.
C
Blackadder
From medieval scheming to the trenches of WWI, Rowan Atkinson's sneering aristocrat took us on a witty tour of British history. That final episode still hits hard.
D
Dad's Army
The bumbling Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard turned wartime Britain into gentle comedy gold. Somehow it never gets old, no matter how many bank holiday reruns air.
E
Keeping Up Appearances
Hyacinth's desperate quest for social status skewered British class snobbery with pure suburban brilliance. Every family has a Hyacinth lurking somewhere.
