    Personally I think TV in general is pretty pants these days & you are right the repeats get right on my wick.

    British TV, especially comedy has got so politically correct it’s lost it’s humour.

    The game shows are flooding the screen – most of which are pants.
    Take Golden Balls on ITV fgs they could do that show in 30 mins if Jasper Carrot stopped wafflin on. :lol:
    He used to be funny – what happened there I wonder?

    i used to watch jasper carrot in the olden days…i think he was “allowed” to be funny hence he was really funny…as you say the problem is political correctness nowadays..
    having said that last night did anyone watch Jimmy Carr?….my god! his references to peodaphiles and kids sh***ing their dads if their mums lifes were in danger absolutely astounded me i didnt find it remotely funny…there are jokes and there are jokes

    true Carol but I had never seen him doing stand up, to be honest I thought he was a quiz show host with a bit of humour, but sure enough when I got the drift of his line of joke I switched over

    Hi,
    I am new to this site. I haven’t watched British TV lately, but I do remember a couple of old shows that I absolutely loved! One was “On The Buses”, and the other was “Mind Your Language”. I would like to hear from anyone else who remembers these “Britcoms”. Cheers!

    Loved mind your language val … brilliant , and as will said the best comedy ever “only fools and horses”
