I loved this series. I think the only reason why people didn't enjoy it was because there favourite series didn't do all that good. But it was fairly voted, I voted myself, and it is Britains Best Sitcom, not an individual persons best programme.

What happened was people voted there best sitcoms. Sitcoms finishing in places 11-50 were presented in one show. Then celebrities who regarded a show in the top 10 there favourite, presented a show to show why the public should get there vote and showed an episode of it. Then there was a big final. The results were: 1. Only Fools and Horses, 2.Blackadder, 3. The Vicar of Dibley, 4. Dads Army, 5. Fawlty Towers, 6. Yes Minister, 7. Porridge, 8. Open All Hours, 9. The Good Life, 10. One Foot in the Grave.

If it was me who could have picked the top 20 sitcoms, this would have been the result: 1. Dads Army, 2. Citizen Smith, 3. On the Buses, 4. Last of the Summer Wine, 5. Till Death us do Part, 6. Steptoe and Son, 7. Fawlty Towers, 8.Two in Clover, 9. Porridge, 10. One Foot in the Grave, 11. Rising Damp, 12. Only Fools and Horses, 13.Father Ted, 14.It Ain't Half Hot Mum , 15.Some Mothers do ave em , 16.Whatever Happened th the Likely Lads, 17.The Thin Blue Line, 18. Men Behaving Badly, 19. The Vicar of Dibley, 20. Blackadder.
