What's wrapped around the charisma? Must be some sort of impenetrable bullet proof casing.

And Fawlty Towers is outdated crap! Old stuff is rubbish!

No, old shows are far better than new shows. Give me Are You Being Served? over The Office any day of the week. Spaced, vastly outweighed by Terry and June.

Anyway, it is interesting that your coherent - if not totally bollocks - argument descends to such outlandish statements once other people provide evidence to the contrary of the exact points you make.


No doubting you're northern...

I like MTC because he is undoubtedly THE most patronising BSG member there has ever been. I salute him.
 

You have to admire that kind of achievement.
 

There were great old shows and rubbish old shows.

There are great new shows and rubbish new shows.

Perhaps my proclamation that old stuff is rubbish was spoken with my tongue (pronounced 'tong') firmly in cheek. Perhaps.
 

How old is Mr. trendy chorlton?
 

Twenty seven. But I look 25. However I expect to hit my absolute peak in my early thirties (looks-wise and creatively).

We all do. We're all fucking stunners.

Grow a beard. Gain many hundreds of pounds. Become Johnny Vegas.
 

From the last ten years, I'd like to see another series of Nighty Night.

And from longer ago, Chance in a Million as I think it had great potential but never really found its feet properly.

I find it to be a genuinely interesting observation that some folk cannot bring themselves to attribute value to anything which occurred before (or after) what they consider as 'their' time.

Would I be the only one to posit the possibility that this says more about THEM than anything else?

I've had more than the odd rant about the more modern stuff but I still reckon I can recognise inherently good productions when I see them.

Therefore, I give myself a smug, self-congratulatory pat on the back for being a renaissance-type person for all seasons and shuffle off down the Corridor of Ultimate Complacency, muttering dark things about the Intolerance of the Young...
