Loved it in the 90s, still love it in 2020

British comedy at its best. Timothy West is the star of the programme as the dodgy but loveable club chairman, but there are great performance across the board. Watching it 20+ years later, the observational humour is still relatable in today's game and society. Absolutely love it.
