That's the one.

Brilliant stuff.

Bit harsh on The Good Life.

Paul Eddington was always incredibly watchable.

As was Felicity's Kendall's bottom.

Don't get me wrong. Brilliantly acted.

I just didn't get any attachment to the characters. The whole notion that a city worker packs his job in, moves to suburbia and starts a pig farm/chicken coup/whatever so his poor wife has to come along is just unbearable... Especially for poor Margot and her hubby.

I'd side with the neighbours but they're both pompous wretches, too.

Still watched pretty much all of them

1981 Rear of the Year.

That's some notable "where are they now" celebs on that list!

Carol Smilie, John Altman and Sarah Lancashire to name but three.

Carol Smilie has the most extensive wiki page for a Z list celeb I've ever seen!

Must be the work of a crazed stalker type.

Frank Skinner won the same year as Carol Smilie.

1999 winner is now married to the 2007 winner (no, not Robbie Williams and Sian Lloyd...)

Their offspring will have an arse the like of which mankind has never seen before.

Beyonce to the power of 100.

I've now learned that Natasha Hamilton was not an original member of Atomic Kitten.

More incredible than that - I know - the original member she replaced was Heidi Range from off of the Sugarbabes.

Not surprised about Ian Wright. Arse.

John Altman became the lead singer of Heavy Metal Kids.

Camel this is ridiculous. I've got work in the morning!

I'm off to bed.
