Rob Pickles asked to see Harry Worth a BBC Christmas Night with the Stars programme. All three shows featuring Harry are missing from the archive, so here’s Harry in one of his own festive episodes, The Last Train.

We’re taking a nostalgic trip to Grace Brothers department store for a festive feature of ‘Are You Being Served?’.

We’re unwrapping the classic Christmas special ‘Christmas Crackers’. Get ready to join the staff as they navigate the chaos of Christmas costumes. So, let’s see what’s on offer!

We’re spending some quality time with the one and only Hyacinth Bucket. So, grab your best bone China with the hand-painted periwinkles, and let’s get into it!

For the second day of our ‘Christmas Sitcom Advent Calendar,’ we’re re-visiting a timeless classic: ‘Last of the Summer Wine’.

Over its record breaking 31 series, ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ had 28 Christmas related episodes, including a short special for the BBC’s ‘Funny Side of Christmas’ show in 1982. So, grab a cuppa and get ready to join Compo, Clegg, and Foggy as they bring their unique brand of Yorkshire mischief to the most magical time of the year!

Now, it’s time to settle a debate as old as British television itself. I asked the community to vote on the least funny British sitcom of all time.

You voted in your hundreds, and the results are in. In the previous videos of this series, I sorted the sitcoms into chronological order as they all had a fairly similar number of votes, but the three shows in today’s video stuck out like sore thumbs. Get ready to count down the three shows that you think are the least funny British sitcoms ever made.

The late 1980s. A time of big hair, shoulder pads, and for many people, the golden age of British sitcoms. Or so we thought.

I put a question to the channel recently, asking you to nominate some of the sitcoms that, frankly, left you with a straight face. The votes are now tallied, and we’re about to take a look at the sitcoms that your collective memory has deemed the least hilarious between 1985 and 1990.

We’ve all got our favourite shows, the ones we can watch over and over again for a good laugh, but there are some shows that just didn’t hit the comedic mark for some people. In this video, we’ll explore why you voted these 1970s and 1980s sitcoms the least funny. So, grab a cuppa and get ready to find out what went wrong.

You know I love hearing your thoughts, so I recently asked all of you: which sitcoms do you absolutely adore, or hate? And among all your brilliant suggestions, one show definitely made a strong appearance: ‘Not Going Out’!

This long-running BBC sitcom invites us into the world of Lee (played by the Lee Mack), a character who’s pretty much allergic to responsibility. He’s the classic lazy, unmotivated, and incredibly sarcastic flatmate whose main goals seem to be avoiding chores and, well, trying (often awkwardly) to charm the ladies in his life. The show itself is a master of quick-fire gags, witty banter, and that comforting, traditional studio audience laughter.

So, when it comes to ‘Not Going Out,’ what made you laugh out loud, and what maybe made you roll your eyes? Let’s unpack what viewers and critics loved or hated about this very British comedy!

I’m always curious about your British TV opinions, so I recently threw out the question: which sitcoms do you absolutely love, or maybe hate? And among the fantastic suggestions that poured in, one name kept popping up: ‘Derek’!

This unique British series is the brainchild of Ricky Gervais – he wrote, directed, and starred as the kind-hearted Derek Noakes. If you’re a fan of ‘The Office,’ you’ll recognise the mockumentary style instantly. ‘Derek’ is a show that really got people talking and feeling, so let’s try to unpack what viewers loved, and perhaps what made them feel a little differently about it.
