there are SO many quotes I still use to this day from the BEST ever sitcom: Blackadder and if you don't believe me I'll take off my belt and by thunder my trousers will fall down.
Rab C Nesbbit is class by the way it
Ran from 1988/2013
Glasgow city of culture probably one of the funniest British comedy
Episode.
Mary Doll
I still use' Good Moaning,' loved 'Allo, 'Allo, and the maids....
Bread was good at the time, couldn't watch it now, but I recall then catchphrases. I still hink of it when I know people are on the fiddle.
Duty Free was essential viewing.
I'm an Aussie. I know of some of these and have seen a few. However, many I hadn't heard of before. Having said that, I was a 'Young Ones' addict! And back then you had to make sure you were near a telly because you couldn't rewind or watch online.
Every time I spill something in the kitchen my hubby says "Granville, fetch a cloth!" its got that we call all cleaning cloths "Granville"
"Mind Your Language" is one that instantly pops to mind.
And one that I'd rather forget. Just an endless string of racist slurs posing as jokes. Even Love Thy Neighbour was better than that!
That one's really late 70s. They did revive it in the mid 80s but it wasn't anywhere as good as the original run.
Windsor Davies was brilliant in Terrahawks.
First watched the young ones in 1995, I remember thinking how old it looked - despite the episodes ( 2nd series) only being eleven years old. Loved it, though.
With Bread in 1986 Carla Lane has predicted how Britain will be in 2023.
Good memories that's when comedy was something u could laugh at not like today's so called comedy
Blackadder....all classics, so many quotes, in the top ten of all time UK sitcoms.
I remember them all except for "Duty Free". Perhaps my parents weren't too keen on it.
The rest you mentioned I well remember and were all hilarious, except for "Brush strokes", which grated me for a reason I can't put a finger on. Especially "the new statesman" with Rik Mayall playing Alan B'Stard, which deserves to be more remembered today. And "open all Hours",
Alan B'Stard would have been Prime Minister by now!
@@darganx If Boris is of any example, Quite certainly! Between The New Statesman, Spitting Image and Yes Minister, the government of the day had a pretty tough time of it!
Odd that only one of the three showed up on this list.
0:51 - sums up one of the best things about Allo Allo. 2:30 - Joanna Van Gyseghem. I rather fancied her at the time. Hi-de-Hi - I always wondered if Geoffrey Fairbrother ever thought 'sod it' and gave Gladys Pugh one. It Ain't Half Hot Mum - Windsor Davies played a very similar character in Carry on England.
My favourite 1980s comedy was the largely forgotten Just Good Friends, starring Paul Nichola and Jan Francis, written by John Sullivan.
Rab C nesbit - Underrated at the time. I loved it, especially when they went to spain. Classic. Bread was OK at the start, but went on too long.
Some real gems amongst that lot of sitcoms, feel good sitcoms, excellent video nice one 😊👍
You asked so let's think of the most obvious British 80s sitcoms you didn't list here. Well, "Are You Being Served?" was stretched as far as 1985 so there's that. There's also "Birds of a Feather", "Sorry", "Yes Minister", "Red Dwarf", "To the Manor Born", "Desmonds" and what was that really obscure one with David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst as brothers...?
You plonker.
It was called Lovejoy, 100%.
That was called "that's my bro" ...with Mollie sugden as grandma ....
How about Butterflies? That was late 70's to early 80's. Not too bad and Nick Lyndhurst was in that one too.
@@boomslangCA I see that the two overlap so for two years, Lyndhurst was in both. Mind you, Wendy Craig was also in "Nanny" for those last two years.
I much preferred Blackadder Goes Forth. Every episode was as brilliant as the other.
Na, the best series of Blackadder are (from best to worst):
3
2
4
1
I still like Allo Allo, my PBS station played it in the late 80s and mid 90s. Sadly they only haad the rights to the first five series, there were nine in total, so I havent yet seen the whole thing. But I want to!
Thanks for creating this video. A great introduction to certain comedies that I knew about but "never really got into" and perhaps missed out on, it gives me an incentive to go on Netflix or whatever and look them up, potentially giving me a lift I wouldn't have had otherwise. Your channel is interesting and varied, please keep up the good work!
I'm not sure if this is a little too modern for the era your channel focusses on, but are you going to do "The IT Crowd"? I worked in an IT department for a lot of years. Certain people said I was like "Moss" in that programme.
The channel is 70s, 80s, and 90s and The IT Crowd is definitely 21st century
@@Steve_P_B haha he's doing 00s now
As a child i was dragged to a caravan show by my father where Don Estelle sung "whispering Grass" live
Sing it now, lovely boy.
@@I_Don_t_want_a_handle the greatest reply ever, I tip my hat to you sir😎
Duty free was the shizzle. I've got the dvd box set ♥ xxx
Thank you!! Never the twain !! Finally A ITV sitcom I remember enjoying
I never realized how piss poor ITV sitcoms were untill recently
Rising Damp was an OK ITV sitcom but that was 1970s. Their hit rate was certainly much lower than the Beeb.
@@Gmackematix rising damp was one of the greats,I just always forget that it's a ITV sitcom cause I mainly saw the ch4 repeats
@@Gmackematixduring the 80's I think home to roost was probably itvs best sitcoms
@@sdmcustoms Yes, Rising Damp is an all time classic and can stand with any of the Beeb's stuff.
I loved Open All Hours
Home to roost, That's my Boy , Mind your language, Keep it in the Family are just a few more!
I would definitely say alan b'stard would not look out of place in the modern tory party with his snout in the trough but what a brilliant show that was! allo allo was the bane of my life (my gran loves it to this day) but all of these shows have a definite quality about them which is why they stuck around. Rab c was one of my favourites in the day and being a scot on the west he just spoke like the guys at the chippy round the corner from my grans... can understand the need for subtitles just a pity eric cullen was a nonce and that really spoils my enjoyment of the good seasons
Just subscribed.
I remember them all except Duty Free
You are lucky to forget that one. It was a shocker.🤣
I could never really get into, 'You Rang, M'Lord.' It just seemed to be a rehash of, 'Hi-de-Hi', and, 'It Ain't Half Hot, Mum.' The same actors pretty much playing the same parts in rather predictable ways. I remember, 'Happy Ever After', quite well. An ever so slightly more reserved, less calamitous version of the later, 'Terry And June.' 'Open All Hours', is probably my favourite on this list. I remember them all, but didn't necessarily watch them all, it has to be said.
I don't know for some reason I liked "you rang m'lord". Perhaps because I like seeing twittish upper class characters like Bertie Wooster.
And where is "Are you being served?"
No "Sorry!"? With Ronnie Corbett, 81 to 88.
Brush Strokes! Thank you. Been wondering what the hell that show was called forever. And whilst Allo Allo is correctly placed at #1, Blackadder should definitely be at #2.
Never watched The Young Ones. Not my thing. Blackadder 2, 4, 3 and 1 were my favourites in that order. After the actor who played Foggy (Brian Wilde I think) died I thought LOTSW lost something. BTW you missed Sorry! with Ronnie Corbett.
'Terry & June' was not a spin off from 'Happy Ever After' nor was it not a pilot! It aired from 7 May 1974 to 25 April 1979 and ran for 5 series. 'Terry & June' ran from from 1979 to 1987 and there were 9 series!
Of 15 you list, only ever remember hearing about four. The rest have absolutely no memories of ever hearing about or seeing except on this similar to your except about forgotten shows
How about "The Good life"?
How about it? It was a premise that was good enough for half a season at most but it went on too long IMHO.
1970s
@@I_Don_t_want_a_handle How time flies!
I watched nearly all of them :) favourites being the young ones black adder and it abit half hot mum my favourite ones are dads army and one foot in the grave :)
Omg i remember them all
Same here, though more than one of them were a bit... meh... in my opinion. I was a fan of the various Blackadders (just don't say "Macbeth") and The Young Ones (though I was never a fan of the exploding Routemaster).
wow never the twain was on a long time, did not remember it in the 90s
I could never abide Open All Hours.
Never knew 'Ello' Ello ran for ten years, how did that work then, WW2only lasted 6 years. V icky michelle was the best thing about 'Ello' Ello obviously.
Dad's Army ran for 9 years, It Ain't Half Hot Mum ran for 7 years and 'Allo 'Allo! ran for 10 years. Part of the David Croft magic long running comedy.
Not forgetting that M*A*S*H ran for 11 years where the war it depicted only lasted 3! Mind you, not a British show but I suppose it just shows that some folk do love to drag a war out.
It was also funnier than ww2. Odd that.
Are You Being Served was missed on the list
When you referred to Ronnie Barker's Arkwright as Cartwright you lost my respect as an authority on British Sitcoms. Especially after referring to Seymour instead of Foggy in reference to Last of the Summer Wine
Prime time TV seemed full of old people back in the day
People aged more in those days and people over 40 didn't wear jeans.
Brush strokes- Karl how man before he did flash bathroom adverts and babes in the wood then eastenders. Watch crime watch videos, David Hatcher describes a lookalike to him a references brush strokes
Pretty much, everyone a classic! Ta!
I often say 'Yes mister Smallbridge' to my partner... She has no idea what I'm talking about either. What a cultural wilderness she grew up in, evidently.
Where's "Blott On The Landscape"???
Wasn’t a sitcom.
You forgot Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister!
A curse of living here in the colonies, is that over half of these are unknown to me. Either they failed to get a TV run or languished in late night desolation
Rik mayall was in at least 3 of these…
Was one of my comments blocked?
Citizen Smith missing?
Wouldn't that be more seventies.
@@bazzatheblue Like many of these sitcoms, probably started in the 70s and ran into the 80s....
@@garethbuckeridge6910 yea true,its stuck in my head a seventies series but it probably ran into the early 80s.
It was mentioned on another list.
Wasn't Yes Prime Minister at about the same time? What about Benny Hill?
Love Thy Neighbour??
Think that was a 70s show (72-76, so Wikipedia says) but, like Mind Your Language, it is a show that folk tend to try to forget given on of the main premises of the show.
I grew up with a lot of British TV and I don't remember most of these. Not only dont remember them, dont remember ever hearing about them.
I could have named at least a dozen replacements that are not only more remember but more highly xonaodered shows. Your lists really suck.
Arkwright not cartwright👍🏻
Just good friends?
I loved the young ones but personally, it would have been better without Christopher Ryan in it. I just didnt find him at all funny.
Also still watch black adder a lot! Queeny and price George series my faves.
Richey in the young ones??
Yes sorry - - - - Rik
@@TFOOS Remember, so Viv often said, that the "P" is silent. 😁
I wonder what cunning plan you used in this video..............
I don't remember any of these
I hated Bread
A further bit of info on 'Allo 'Allo is that it was a spoof of an excellent 2nd World War drama series from 1970s called Secret Army. In Last Of The Summer Wine, the original 3 were Compo (Bill Owen), Clegg (Peter Sallis) & Blamire (Michael Bates). Michael was also the browned up Rangi Ram in It Ain't 'Alf Hot Mum. When he died he was replaced in LOTSW by Foggy (Brian Wilde). That was when it was great!! It Ain't...... is about the only one that wouldn't be done now due to it's racist attitudes towards the Indian characters & using a browned up English actor.
I hated all of them except Blackadder !
Fair do's - Duty Free was utter crap.
But It Ain't Half Hot Mum would've been absolute tat without Windsor Davies. 😉
Disagree about Duty Free. Very funny.
@@anicecupoftea8303 I could take it or leave it. It was one of a huge number of shows in the 80s with a stock plot and little to make it stand out, much like Terry and June. But if you found it funny, more power to you!
about half were terrible and deserve to be forgotten
Some of which was formulaic borderline racist crap.
Ok Karen
@@thrusta100 Prove me wrong.
And now the BBC is so woke they would not do shows like these ever again.
I A H H M...was denied repeats by the BBWOKE...because a white actor had the temerity to play an Asian character in it.....lost to generations of appreciative fans for fear it might upset the Indians....who couldn't care less as it happens....God help us
"I have no matches" 😂
pronounced guy sum...
Thank you!
Never the twain, Duty Free, Last Of The Summer Wine, Brush Strokes, You Rang M`lord. Who the fk watched THAT garbage??
I did its not like there was a lot of choice back then only 4 channels
