film or tv?

Only Fools and Horses

[snoopy1239]

I think it would have to be Only Fools and Horses because it actually made you care about the characters whilst being hilarious at the same time.

The Office isn't too far away though.

I'm also a big fan of Father Ted, Blackadder, Phoenix Nights, I'm Alan Partidge, & Red Dwarf.

I'm torn between Monty Python, Fawlty Towers and Only Fools and Horses.

I'm the same. Monty Python was ground breaking. Fawlty towers is still so great, in part, they only made 6, leaves you wanting for more! Only fools and horses stands the test of time, can't believe it ran for so long yet remained as funny as on day 1.

Other candidates, and my personal favourites are Red Dwarf and The Office. Each great in their own ways.

Only fools and horses by a country mile !!

Phoenix nights and max and paddy's road to nowhere are modern day classics too.

Only fools by a mile. I must be the only person who enjoys 2 pints lager and a packet of crisps- juvenile humour at its best.

There were 12 episodes of Fawlty Towers. My favourite comedy by a long way though

[Colchester Kev]

Also if anyone wants to know what to get me for Xmas ... I would love the entire collection of " Big Deal" Robbie Box was my hero ... before he started tampering with Pauline Fowlers norks..YUK !!!!

Seriously, this was a fantastic, funny, moving,sad comedy drama .... British television at its best.

They made 12.
I like "my family" till Nick left, grrrr
I hate cringe TV so "the office" was awful for me.
Only Fools was true class.
"Watching" was excellent for it's fantastic put downs and "blackadder" was all round brilliance (the final scene of Blackadder goes forth was spinetingling).
