Cinnamon Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 We have been initiating our daughters into the delights of some of the TV we used to love a few years ago. They loved Blackadder & now quote it all the time to their bemused freinds who really have no idea what they are on about, The Young Ones & Fawlty Towers. Devon (who is 14) is threatening to quote The Germans in her German class, which is a bit of a worry Last week we all watched Game On, which they thought was hilarious too We have enjoyed watching all these oldies as much as they have,& had forgotten how truly fab they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I remember my dad used to roll around watching the Goodies. I do like Fawlty Towers, but only saw it when the re runs were on in the late 80's The bit where Basil hit the Mini with the stick makes me howl.

We live really near to the Hotel that was used in Fawlty Towers, & the surrounding area, like where they filmed the bit where he is thrashing his car with a branch. Talking of Blackadder quaotes, mine are always on about Turnips in the shape of a thingy, or saying "Hello bridesmaid,like the beard,gives me something to HANG (insert pelvic thrust) on to" Sadly they have also recently seen Waynes World & quote that a lot too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 My hubby has recently found a satellite channel showing "On the Buses" and he seems to watch it every night . Drives me mad, classic tv it ain't and I end up going to bed early simply to escape it Oh, and he loves "Open all Hours" and watches that at the drop of a hat as well That said I do agree Fawlty Towers and Blackadder are in a class of their own.......... well worth watching again and again .
