My favourite radio shows have been mentioned.. Beyond Our Ken, Archie Andrews with Max Bygraves when he sang "I'm a pink toothbrush", The Huggets with David Kossoff and kathleen Harrisson and of course the Clitheroe Kid :) and the Goons.. He's fallen in the water and Min I think the dog wants to go out for a walk.. How do you know ?.. He's got his hat and coat on..

For tv.. As a kid it was Mick and Montmorency. Growing up became The Goodies & Monty Python, Spike Milligans "Q" series then Fawlty Trowels which is timeless. All the Black Adder series and odd programmes of the Young Ones etc. Also Michael Bentines it's a square Wold which I used to go to the beeb to see being recorded and where I was when Kennedy was shot... To prove we all remember where we were when we heard that news.

For American sit com.. I love Lucy & Bilko from the 50's. Frasier is a brilliant follow on from Cheers, occasional episodes of Friends (still).

I'm sure there are more.. I just need to see a few more posts here to remind me :)
