Some old TV shows that are still worth a watch.... I can still laugh at Dads Army.. always thought it was funny... and watch it now and then when its on....some werent so good and havent aged well although I thought at the time they were good... While in West Yorkshire I went to visit Holmfirth where Last of the Summer Wine was filmed... nice place.

I think there's a website called something like "TV Cream" that has a database of old British TV shows.

i only know that because my dad couldn't recall a particular TV show ("Man About The House"); so I did a Google, and TV Cream proved quite informative.

The BBC have just done a remake of 'Are You Being Served?' and some other classic British comedies:

The Are You Being Served? remake starts next month - meet the new cast - Mirror Online

Don't know if they'll be as good as the original ones though.

Is 1992 old enough to qualify? hahaha

''Men Behaving Badly''...if you love Doc Martin's
Martin Clunes...it is a MUST see.


Love 'Orange is the New Black'?
Try "Wentworth"

I'd sure like to see the "Rumpole of the Bailey" series again!

We lived nearby when the show was still being filmed dizzy. I used to watch the cast acting their roles from a distance.

Holmfirth is a real nice place to visit, full of Yorkshire character. I believe Bill Owen is buried in the town cemetery. He was a southerner by birth, but loved Yorkshire and Holmfirth after filming there for many years.

I think the oldest UK TV programa I have ever watched werw "Fawlty Towers" and perhaps "Steptoe and Son". Both way before my time of course, but both quite amusing, especially John Cleese.

Both are very good. I also like "As Time Goes By" ....not as old though.

For me, Benny Hill was the best!

Actress Jane Leeves got her start as a "Hill's Angel" back in the 80s.

I dont get why people like British shows. I am sure they are very good but it seems like every British show is 6 eps per season. You barely get into it and it is gone
