Honky Tonk Man

I got the complete Ripping Yarns on DVD for Christmas. Aside from me, is there anyone else here who prefers it to Monty Python? I think the films are hilarious, but I've always felt the television series was a little hit and miss.

Anyway, Fawlty Towers will always be my favourite

Overall, I dont prefer it to Python (it was only 1 series after all), but it was fucking brilliant. I remember watching it when it was first on (I think it must have been about 1975)

"Tomkinsons School Days" and "Golden Gordon" are two of the more memorable ones.

I just bought the DVD boxed set of the first series of "Sledge Hammer" a couple of days ago. It was a US Tv comedy from the mid 80's which was a bit of a Dirty Harry piss-take. Hilarious stuff....

Well, maybe I'm just getting a little carried away, but I absolutely love it at the moment. My personal favourite episode is The Curse Of The Claw. Uncle Jack is hilarious.

Maybe I DO need to watch some more Python episodes, but Ripping Yarns is keeping me amused enough for the time being.

Does anyone here like Tony Hancock? I've been a fan of the radio series for years, but I've recently purchased a DVD of the TV series and I'm enjoying that too.
