My all time favourite comedy line reshown tonight. Still makes me laugh.

BBC can't have much in their archives that are cheap to repeat.

In my opinion Andrew that work of art can be repeated daily and it would be better than most big budget movies.

Why no Hancock's Half Hour ?

They can't have much in their archives, what are you on? They have massive archives, did you see the Old Grey Whistle Test on friday. They have 60 years of history that sky or others can't compete with.

I know they have lots in the archives but due to costs and repeats fees, they can trust show much. No I didn't watch OGWT the other night because I own all the DVDs.

There are lots of good sitcoms in the archives but due to political correctness they will never air them again.

Black and White Minstrels Show would have a steady sale if it was released on home media. UK Gold or whatever it is these days butch up Only Fools &Horses so it does not offend anyone.

A pint? That's very nearly an armful!

I believe there is a ruling that there can't be any B&W BBC stuff shown on either One or Two now.

BBC are ran by loons and SJW.

You really do resent anything the BBC puts out. I can imagine you, dusting your On the Buses box set, grumbling about David Attenborough, Kenneth Clarke and Alistair Cooke.

And yet still you don't like them???

Yup - a pint? Another favourite; and, credit where due, David Jason dropping through the bar.
