I hated Barbara, never found that one funny at all.

On The Buses pre-dates the more superior Rising Damp, some episodes were in Black & White and had the London Weekend rings pre production slide

Never The Twain was the name of the last series you mentioned. I believe it was set in an Antiques shop and was made by Thames, it finished round about the time when Thames went off air, along with Shelly

Uh, ok, the most recent at the moment seems to be "Men Behaving Badly," which was shown on ITV in 1992! 623058 is right about rising damp, but that was in the seventies. So that's 15 years since a decent sitcom from ITV. let's hope this one breaks ITV back into comedy!

I think the raison d'etre of Bonkers was to be naff;


What does that mean?I tried a language translator and it didn't translate.


Langauge translator? Try the Oxford Concise Dictionary Wink ... and I have spelt it correctly, phew.

Raison d'etre is a (cod-)French term adopted by the English language. It means the essence of someone's/something's existence, its reason for being. The purpose of existence if you like.

I'm educational you see; you'll go away from here thinking: "Well that taught me a lesson" Laughing

Has anyone seen that new BBC2 sitcom Roman's Empire ? I don't like it much, it's rather clichéd and dull TBH even though there are some funny bits.
