PRESLEY Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Someone slammed me for saying the old sit coms and game shows were better than the new stuff these days and told me to get over them, if they were not up to much why are they remaking them all, slowly but surely, ie, Porridge, Open all hours and all these Alan Carr is doing. Its all a good effort and glad to see em but you cant beat the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allo Allo, last of the summer wine, Faulty Towers, Corrie from 25yrs ago ETC.. The humour is brilliant, not forgetting Sunday Night At The London Palladium. must be an age thing.

I agree,all good shows you mentioned, I actually thought after shows like Rising Damp, Porridge ect we wouldnt see anything at their standard then up pops Only Fools, so maybe somewhere on the horizon another Gem could turn up, as for game shows, I like tipping point but the chase for me is losing its edge, the chasers seem to be getting more arrogant with their new found fame and as for Bradley Walsh, he is grating on me a bit, by the way of milking a joke a bit too often, Ben Shepard seems a lot more Genuine, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Padders, I think that is hosted on BritBox. You could sign up for a 30 day trial for free and watch it in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I'm struggling to open my next can of Guinness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Ronnie barker spinning in his grave. Absolutely appalling and an insult to the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron99 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Did someone mention old game shows? How about; "From Norwich, it's the quiz of the week".....? I'll leave you to fill in the rest? Absolutely massive in its day. Another one I liked was 'Winner Takes All' in with Jimmy Tarbuck & Geoffrey Wheeler. Surely this one could be brought back & updated?
