Could not disagree with you more. Porridge is still as brilliant today as it was then. Fantastic scripts, great acting, fabulous characters. Trust you to pick on probably the only two stereotypes. It was the 70.'s. Fletcher is a beautifully rounded character, as too is Godber and Grouty and...

Call me Ishmael. And I will call you a dick.

Ahh, forgot about Rackham's! There's a Beale's in Bedford that has that old fashioned rickety past glory feel to it.

Yep, agree. It wasn't intended to be laugh out loud funny I don't think and they play very much on the warmth of the characters and their familiarity of the situation. Nearly all Perry and Croft's characters are likeable characters. They are the same week in week out though with very little or...

Well, I can emphasise with that, Daz. I liked it, but never got all the adulation it received. I didn't find it that funny, but I did find it warm and fuzzy. Sort of smiled rather than laughed. Against though, some characters only seem to be there to deliver a catchphrase and nothing else, or...

In the middle of your street?

Yeah, I can bet. Always feel with so much of Perry and Croft though the plotline seems to just encourage the script along in order to get to the next catchphrase.

Where do I send the cheque to?

Yeah, I'd like to bar RFC too.

Yep. Was a big fault with Dad's Army too, but they still managed to pull it off and the playing off of Wilson against Mainwaring worked so well and the nostalgia of it all with the harking back to the war brought into into people's hearts too I think. Never watched any of the early Allo Allo so...

No-one's mentioned Hitler yet. ;)

I thought it, but decided against it. Happy to hand over the mantle. :)

I agree how it captured the department store and the class system, but not sure I agree on the character development. Found many of the characters such as Mrs. Slocombe, Mr. Humphries and Capt. Peacock all very, very one dimensional, personally. Do have to say though, I am not a big fan of...

Didn't we still have it until BHS just closed down?

Wow, just how bad were you?

Well yep, that's my thinking. The club has little or no real value and it is all about the value Sisu put on it in order for them to leave. They must be getting pee'd off still being here surely. It's an investment that failed. What is the point of just drifting along? Surely if someone...

Just had a quick look and it seems the BBC didn't keep any of the stuff he did, so it is lost forever. Wasn't he a bit of a one liner wordsmith?

Yes. But I haven't seen him since I was a child. Did think he was funny way back when. What are your thoughts BBR?

Not the question though, Nick. :) Didn't they say a silly figure between 40m and 60m when talking about our worth some years back? How much, if someone offered them hard cash, would be enough for them to leave? :)

If a mug like me won the Euro Millions, just how much do you think it would take for Sisu to bugger off? Serious question, if someone with a love for the club, with a big wad of money, or anyone else for that matter, wanted to buy them out how much do you think? I know silly figures have been...
