Best moment on British Television
OK , I think most folks would agree that British television when it wants to, can produce some of the best television entertainment in the world . So the question is .......what in your opinion is the best episode or program in entertainment TV that you remember (Elton John at Dianas funeral doesn't count) ?
I'll go first , and say for me it was the 2 episodes of 'Last of the Summer Wine' which featured Compo's death and funeral ......it was so funny yet at the same time so sad time .....great television. (yep, I'm a sentimental owd sod) John Cleese in Fawlty Towers was also good , especially the 'German ' episode, as were the Prime Suspect series with Helen Mirren , and the series with the guy playing the sleazy/corrupt Prime Minister. The list endless , but maybe there is something , one program/ episode that sticks in your mind Ok , now its your turn .....  Last edited by steeljack; 31-05-2007 at 03:30. Reason: spelling |

I've never been totally keen on Only Fools, but the scene where Del Boy thinks he's leaning on the bar and falls down is brilliant. Theres too many to mention though. I could go on for post after post!! |

 Why? The 27th of June is a Saturday. Are you seeking a diagnosis/medical treatment on Casualty?

Re: Best moment on British Television
Victor Meldrews death in One Foot In The Grave was a classic, but the series was a prety true reflection of us grumpy old men in my grumpy opinion.
