Definetly would go for another series of The Thin Blue Line and would also nominate Men Behaving Badly.

Duck Patrol haha.

Yeah!
Only I'm not joking.
 

I'd probably just go for Partridge and The Young Ones.

By the way, I've always thought The Thin Blue Line was terrible.

Well we know that!

I have to say, I've only seen the first three episodes (anyone got the rest?), but I found the slow, meandering tone of the show very comforting. It wasn't can't-breathe-I'm-laughing-so-much, but I found it extremely English. Reminded me of Outside Edge quite a bit.

Dear John was excellent but also Colin's Sandwich which I've been doing a bit of work on. Much underrated IMO

Genius.
 

Partridge and Porridge. And if I'm allowed a third go: a much needed third series of 15 Storeys High

I could never get into "Thin Blue Line" either.

I rather see Rowan in another set of "Black Adder II," and "Coupling" for the more recent returnee.
 

Coupling just needed one more series but they couldn't get the actors together at the same time. `The baby would change the dynamic but it would reflect stages of life and would be great to see how Geoff would cope.

Ist Aaron der Herr-Gott der ganzen Situationskomödie?

Nein.
 

Just to sum a few things up. The Thin Blue Line was not awful it is a superb sitcom. This Duck Patrol thing. Was Richard Wilson in it? I think I've vaguley seen it, but can't remember if it was any good or not.

Yes. Duck Patrol starred Richard Wilson, David Tennant, Sue Johnston, and a handful of others I can't remember. It was about river police.

The Thin Blue line was fine for what it was: mainstream bbc1 slosh to keep the easily pleased, pleased. And to it's credit, it knew this.

Two to retun: Alan Partridge and Friends - purely just to see if either could reach former heights.
 

'Love Thy Neighbour' but maybe in the interest of reflecting our multicultural society it should be truly inclusive and less stereotypical by making the neighbours West Indian/Asian, Protestant/Catholic, Jewish/Arab or even Muslim/Gypsies.

The dodo died. Then Dodi died, Di died and Dando died... Dido must be pooing herself.
 

I personally think Love thy Neighbour has been remade. I think the show is called 'Never the Twain' Neighbours Smallbridge and Peel can't stand each other and throw insults in each others faces. But the jokes aren't about race- but about class.

I remember liking Agony but it probably doesn't stand the test of time - I've got a thing about Maureen Lipman.

If you can't count Auf Weidersehn Pet as not purely a sitcom then probably the Likely Lads.

Problem with that. Messrs Bolam and Bewes don't like each other anymore in real life.
