Dad's Army - s4e9 - Mum's Army - Featuring a young Wendy Richards and Carmen Silvera (Edith in Allo Allo) as the Home Guard welcome women into the platoon. Dad's Army must be in my top 5 sitcoms of all time, combining a stupidly talented cast and great, warm writing. Arthur Lowe's comic timing in the Tea Shop as he tries to impress a younger woman by taking his glasses off and then end up bumping into things is a joy to behold.
Fast Show - s3e4 - more quality from Dave Angel and cockney geezer and this:
and Arthur Atkinson in a 1970s Confessions... movie.
Big Train - s2e1 - Opens with one of the greatest and most disturbing sketches they did:
From that point, I knew series 2 was going to be as good as series 1 and looking at the cast and writing list, its no surprise.
Smith and Jones in Small Doses - Second Thoughts - a touching comedy drama about 2 men about to commit suicide. Curious piece this, which struck me as something ripe for a stage version.
Gimme gimme gimme - s2e1 - Sugar returns, Patsy Palmer decks Tom and the quality lines continue: "I'm in distress!" "So? I'm in dis dress."
Nathan Barley - pilot episode - still great and relevant (just take a walk in Hoxton and look at the young idiots)
Show and Tell - Nice new comedy panel show, notable for the stock of funny young comediennes it seems to have found.
