And if you don't all vote for the 12 legendary hours of pure genius that is the masterpiece called Fawlty Towers I'm going to come round to your place and insert a large laughing gnome in all of you. Good day

A lot of good comedies (Young Ones, Bottom, Red Dwarf) were in the top 50 - 11. Quite dissapointing really, but then again, how utterly cheap television is this anyway eh?
Well it's Only Fools and Horses. Certainly Christmas wouldn't be the same without it, it's an institution. It's still hilarious after 23 years and still gets in the top 5 views of the year, in the region of 20 million. One year, 27 million people tuned in. Thats how big it is. Awesome comedy.
Fools & Horses was great and gets my vote, but I have to say the last few they have made (since the 3 episodes when they ended up with all the cash) have not been up to the previous standards. They should have left it alone after the 'get rich' ones....................
.........and the very fact that The Vicar Of Dibley got in to the top ten (beating the likes of The Office & Phoexix Nights), is the best example of comedy I've seen in many a year.

Yes, especially when The Office and Ab Fab didn't get in the top ten. Still, Fawlty is tops tho. I predict a two, erm, horse race between FT and Only Satanas and Horses
