To wish we had more TV like this?

[SaintlyLady]

Last night I watched The Two Ronnies Xmas Special from 1982 and Sorry! from 1988.

i literally laughed out loud at some of the sketches in the Two Ronnies -

and Sorry! is an excellent example of my VERY favourite TV genre -

Home Counties set,
middle class,
middle aged,
middle England, ‘
’middle of the road’
sitcoms 🙌

AIBU to want these programmes back on linear BBC1 and ITV?

Michael Crawford was brilliant in it!

I could never accept him being the phantom

• I was still very young - I kept quizzing my mum about it and saying “but he’s frank Spencer”

The nativity!!!

Yes, Ben the dog gave Margo flees!!

That’s meant to say fleas!

When he was cast as The phantom, he couldn’t actually sing. He said he practiced on the bath!

No way!!! Why did they cast him then?

Maddyisqueen, you are going to have to refresh my memory about the nativity scene. It’s been a very long since I have seen it.

I guess he was well known’

He ends up going through the roof and ending up on the church steeple dressed as archangel Gabriel 😂😂

I think Geraldine is baby Jesus

I’m laughing now, I’m going to have to see if there is a clip on YouTube!

Her we go

Yes, she was!

There is - I’m gonna watch too

Thanks, me too!

“Stop looking up there..mmm”

“dirty shepherd” 😂😂

”cover JESSICAs eyes”

Do you know it's available bbc sounds? It's taken straight from the TV so it's not messed about with at all.
It's still surprising relevant!

I miss the days when TV was good. It all seems like crap now though it may be that having dozens of options you can view on demand has spoiled us a bit

The ad break on TV was always a bit annoying but it was nothing compared to the RAGE you feel when you get a 2 min unskipable add on YouTube. What’s that all about? 😂

He still has his beret on in costume as angel gabriel! 😂😂😂

🤣🤣

Classic Frank! 🤣

We more or less only watch old tV shows nowadays. We just rewatched Rising Damp!

everything on currently seems very poor compared to what we had previously, doesn't it.

Frank and Betty’s daughter was called Jessica! I had forgotten her name!

Yes Geraldine is the goat in the good life

but I did sound it out and imagined Betty saying Geraldine and it did fit

but yes Jessica

That’s hilarious! It’s hard to imagine some actors in different roles especially when you have grown up with them in only one!
