We look at British sitcoms of the last sixty years, laugh at them, and talk about them.

Morning all, sorry to say we've made the decision to leave X and stop posting on here. We've always enjoyed interacting with listeners and others, and I have to say that we've never had any direct bad vibes from anyone.

The second series of Fawlty Towers is far superior to the first. Much funnier, less 'sitcom-y', and Basil is more likeable. Gourmet Night and The Germans are the only episodes from the first series that are as good as series two.
