Never heard of or seen 'Early Doors', might have to check it out.

'Allo, Allo' was always 'Non, Non' for me.

I didn't find "Hello, hello" in the remotest bit funny, and those stupid accents really got on my nerves.  I really enjoyed "To the Manor Born", "Waiting for God", and the wonderful "Steptoe and Son".  Programmes that were supposed to be funny, i.e Benny Hill just left me wincing in embarrassment.  However that's just an opinion, each to his own   ;)

A woman I worked with used to say "Good moaning" as she walked in, every morning without fail, over a 12 year period. No wonder I couldn't stand 'Allo 'allo. The only other remarkable thing about this woman was that she went to America for two weeks and didn't do a poo the whole time she was there.

I agree Early Doors was fantastic, but it was made, and I checked this out, over ten years ago!!  I liked the character played by Mark Benton who would come in and talk about all the traffic hold ups on particular streets, and the miserable sod who would never involve himself in others rounds, but would stay on his own... great stuff.

Comedy and what we find funny is sooooo individual.

Mrs Browns Boys I find woeful

I also found a fav of some Cbfers - On the Buses- about as funny as haemorrhoids.

For me  classics like Dads Army, Rising Damp etc are timeless and side busting

Wonder what it is within each of us that determines what we find funny?

Check this out for an episode of Early Doors. There are a lot more episodes on here as well.

Humour is of course very subjective and very like musical taste. I have so many friends who adore Dylan and The Smiths/Morrissey and I'd personally prefer to be in silence than listen to either.
