well if we dont count non streaming shows (Like Breaking Bad which for me was the very,very best) and its normal British shows

Im going with Till Death Us Do Part but only the first 2 or 3 series also Steptoe and Son again first few series. Best every has to be `Fawlty Towers` just a few top quality shows and get out while on top

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.

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

Bottom. My brother and I watched this a lot growing up, and my mum hated it. Sorry mum!

I'm a drummer in a very well known band, I'm also a world class racing driver and crazy golf world champion 7 years in a row.

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.

Message 9 of 22

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.

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
