General Chat

Hated Benny Hill, Terry and June and anything with Hilda Baker or Norman Wisdom in it. Also hated the wrestling which my grandfather used to insist on watching.

Didn't like the White Heather Club which was also forced on me.

If it is n't a complete contradiction, American "comedies" like frasier.
In fact, now I come to think of it, any American television.

I'm not that keen on that Miranda thing. I just don't think she is remotely funny. Even the trailer is a non starter-jle
edit-sorry this isn't an old program but I think it is a second series.
Cooper - I have to agree with you on the Benidorm

I watched the Christmas editition of Benidorm, I always enjoyed it before but it was dire and I turned off half way through.

I liked The Young Ones with Ade Edmundson and Ric Mayal when I was a student and thought it was so funny.
I watched it again a couple of months ago and it was so bad I realised I had turned in to my Mum Tutting at it. lol

The Fred Dibnah programmes do have a lot of good information in them,if that is what you are interested in.

Crossroads had to be watched religiously,like the aformentioned Peyton Place,which I was told I was too young to understand,Still am too!

At one point there was a soap about a Scottish coalmining community on one or two days a week instead of Crossroads. That was deadly dull as well.
There was a pretty grim Welsh soap on in the afternoons at one point too,which was required watching in our house too.

But you don't tell us which ones they were/are Rita

Sorry but Coronation Street! Ok so its still going but it is old!

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are all okay.

Good post Ann

"Albion Market" had a young Simon Rouse in it for a while. He then went onto play Jack Meadows in "The Bill".

Episodes of "Dynasty" weren't too bad at times, but at other the plots and the acting was ridiculous.

Oh, and the hairdos and clothes .Arghhhhh!
And that was just the men!

Take gentle care
Very best wishes

I did like That was the week an didn't mind Only when I laugh.

Jean, thanks for reminding me, I didn't like That was the week that was, either.
Jenny, I didn't like Surgical Spirit, and Only when I laugh wasn't much better.

Sallie.

I never liked only when I laugh and surgical spirit Ann.

Black Adder, although my hubby loves it. Never liked Benny Hill, Dallas and Dynasty either.
I'm sure there are more programmes that I didn't like, but can't remember them at the moment.

Sallie.

Fawlty Towers, as said. Only Black adder one worth watching in my mind was the first world war one. Didnt much like That was the week, that was'.

Thank you Sheila for inadvertently solving a problem for me. We have been trying to think what we saw Kate O'Mara in. Triangle that was it. actually I didn't mind that one too much, it was something to watch.

Fawlty towers I sometimes found a bit cringing. Some of it made me laugh, some of it was too OTT.

Same with Benny Hill sometimes funny, sometimes too crude. You notice that, unlike Morecambe and Wise, you don't get re-runs of Benny Hill.

I know it's a classic, but I don't really like Fawlty Towers - I find John Cleese too manic and it gives me a headache, lol! Love Prunella Scales as Sybil, though. I also hated Benny Hill, Triangle, Crossroads, Dallas and Dynasty.

Yes I think they did.

Didnt they remake Crossroads?

I remember the name Thorney but didn't watch it. didn't watch Crossroads either.

Anyone remember Albion Market? even Helen Shapiro couldnt save that soap

My OH is,I get kicked out of the room when they start because I keep asking "whose that?"ha ha
