Nearest and Dearest (1968–1973)
10/10
Vaudeville on TV
12 September 2017
Never caught this when 1st aired..as I was about 8 and was more interested in pop music like Bay City rollers and stuff...but now I've recaptured the moment on box set DVD.

This has to be the funniest sitcom bar none. Absolute comedy gold from start to finish.

These are the days when you could just forget pc rubbish and just laugh and laugh again...I bet the laugh quota per minute is up there with the best of them.

Why ...when we hear about the "TOP" comedies are we always reminded of Fawlty Towers ans OFAH ?? This is pure and unadulterated perfection .

Hylda Baker just lets herself go and Jimmy Jewel is in on the gag. I'ts interesting to see the non speaking part of Walter is handed on to Gilbert in the sequel called "Not On Your Nellie"!

This is pure vaudeville at it's best ..If you don't like it then you're mad!!
