Only Fools and Horses?! But Blackadder........ *sulk*
Can't believe the Vicar of Dibley did so well after being kicked out 5th or sth.
Can't believe I care... Anyone else got any views.
Incidentally, I had forgotten the classic sketch that is "don't mention the war" from Fawlty Towers... oooh and I hadn't watched Yes, Minister since I was too young to understand it, but it's actually v. good!

Although it's all opinions really. "Most Popular British Sitcom" would be a better title surely?
right, was it 63 year old grannies who only voted in that bloody show? Fair play to only fools and horses, and blackadder, but look at the stuff in that list. surely, okits my opinion, but in terms of more recent things, father ted, spaced, black books or something like the league of gentleman is a much better bet than.....yes minister.......christ. x
Fair play to Blackadder and Fawlty Towers though. Only Fools and Horses is sometimes quite good, I have to admit.

P.S. Random - there's a supply teacher at our school that looks and sound JUST like Baldrick, we made him say 'I have a cunning plan' and it was like HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
don't know why 'open all hours' was in the top ten, unless it was the top ten most overly repeated shows!
once again another show repeated to **** - its just one of those that is always on so its always in the public's mind - what else shall i vote for, um, what's always on..................
11 to 100 in the sitcom poll
To see One Foot come in tenth was an honest shock, as it was kind of a more casual Blackadder, in that you never knew what was going to happen next. True, it was basically all set-pieces, but still hilarious in it's own way.
Vicar of Dibley? The only saving grace for that show is Mr. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no....yes! He roXorz me Soxorz
It was an absolute travesty that Spaced and I'm Alan Partridge didn't make the top ten.
Oh, and Jack Dee and Iannucci both rule.
"How thick is my arm?" -
Mrs Feminism (Vorderman) - How dull. How very bloody droll.
Still, it's a general poll, so there's bound to be uproar.
All the top 10 were all BBC Programmes as wel.
I do agree with ONly Fools and Horses being my favorite, I used to love the Christmas Specials .. espacially the one in Miami
Its just the public are stupid plebs and they dont understand it.
I was distraught to see Vicar of Dibley up there, its run of the mill tripe, not massively unfunny, but then not funny either, its a nothing.
Only Fools and Horses has gone on FAR too long, all those shite christmas specials they bring out, rubbish!
1. Black Adder
2. Faulty Towers
3. Yes, Minister
Vicer of Dibley being so high is silly, Father Ted so should have been there. I am guessing it was bumped down to 11 because it is not a BBC Program.
I cannot complain though i guess, i never got round to voting
Red Dwarf came 18th i beleive. I guess it is a sci fi so that would probably put many people off. With all the technical science talk. You know, is it a Swirley Thing or a Wibbly thing?;)
