The Crown is one of the best things I've watched recently, and I didn't fancy it at all, only started watching it because the Mrs wanted to, really looking forward to the next season

Yeah, Mad Men was a good one too. Was sad when that one finished.

I've watched all of The Office (US) but never the UK one. I'll have to give it a watch.

I've just rewatched Extras courtesy of BBC iPlayer, you're not wrong, through the fingers cringeing, but lough out loud brilliant. How he got all those amazing guests to go along with the ride was amazing.

This can really be an age thing but there are some really good standouts that do the test of time.

Fawlty Towers has surely got to be on the list the comedy moments in it are Brilliant

The Office (UK version) is another one that I can watch and watch

Breaking Bad one of the best US series to come over to the UK

Hancock's Half Hour for me UK comedy at its best in this era

Till Death Us Do Part (the first few series only in mid-60`s) Yes I know not political correct now a days and I know would never get BBC airplay again but it was a classic at the time and really broke all comedy TV show moulds at the time

But 5 TV shows from the 1950s to 2020 the hardest thing ever to choose

As an older contributer.

Steptoe and son (the original B&W series) - brilliant funny and full of pathos

Porridge - Comedy perfection

House of Cards - Original UK version

Whatever became of the Likely Lads - Another high quality comedy

Peep Show - Inventive and very funny

There's plenty of good modern stuff, but for me they don't stand for repeats test as the years pass.
