Oh dear I stand chastised Troj my ole mucker. How could I forget Hancocks half Hour. a true gem. sadly missed by many. shame the Goons didn't quite make it onto the electric goldfish bowl. I would have beed in seventh heaven then.
I also missed out The "Vicar of Dibley" and one for all Torquay fans. "One foot in the Grave" Victor Meldrew doing his brilliant impression of Brucie!
