Britcom Barry comes over as a bit OCD in his post. I don't mind threads going off topic. It's all part of a threads charm.

It's okay to go off thread in General, but in sitcom related threads we like it if you stay on topic. :)

I dunno, perhaps, but he has a point. We do need to start being more on-topic in the British Sitcoms and Other British Comedy forums.

You start trying to do that and threads will diec on their arse like a Jake How website. If you want a thread to get back on message simply add a post that brings it back to the subject being discussed.

The only thing I do get annoyed by is when threads become too long and are used to discuss everything about a show or comedian. For example, I think the Pulling thread features discussions on both series. I'd have prefered two seperate threads. And I'd rather we discussed Peep Show Series 5 in a thread marked Peep Show Series 5.

I agree entirely. And it's happening again with the 30 Rock thread. People are starting to discuss season two in the same thread season one was discussed. I hate that.

It's terrible I imagine. Is there much wailing and gnashing of teeth? Are there dead bodies strewn over the website? It sounds like hell on Earth.

Someone should start a petition for chipolata to finally get an avatar. Not me though I'm far to lazy.
