Digging out these titles from (1) the lost recesses of memory and (2) my cobweb-laden sitcom manuals.

I honestly thought that I had beaten the database when I recalled the ITV sitcom 'Conjugal Rites', but it was in there. Damn you!
I'm just an ant wading through mud.

Got me info from semi-pubescent memories of Radio 4... And Byrne and Powell's 'Writing Sitcoms'... And the 'Bob Monkhouse at the Beeb' cassette. Very interesting it was too.

I watched it being recorded and met both Alexei and Fawlty Towers' Major afterwards!

No, sorry, just noticed the updated list and see the two mentioned sitcoms are on it. There are no sitcoms on it being with The. 'The Good Life' 'The Thin Blue Line' 'The Fosters' etc.

No, they're all there. Not sure where you're looking, but they may be listed all under T, rather than G (The Good Life), F (The Fosters), and such.

They're there - but in slightly the wrong place at the moment. Sorry. Basically you'll find the sitcoms begining with 'The' at the end of each letter's list at the moment. I'm working on trying to get them included alphabetically properly - sadly in computer programming terms moving the 'The' to the end isn't actually that easy so it's taking a little while to sort.
