    I would agree with most of yours Lou but I like Lee Evans and don't like M & W, never really watched Gimme, Gimme, Gimme so no opinion there.

    Still Game and Father Ted are big faves too.

    Oh I forgot about Father Ted, never heard of Still Game:confused:

    Chubby Bown needs his mouth washing out with Domestos never mind soap........I cant stand his crudeness.

    Oh and Jim Davidson is just as bad.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Does Spud's husband look like Gordon? soooo jealous!

    There's just something about him, I do like Jean Christophe though if it's the one I'm thinking of - sort of wavy scruffy hair and big brown eyes?
