I am sure this will have been asked before,apologies but i could not find it using the search facility.
What TV programming [not films] do you never tire of watching over and over again ?
For me it has to be 'The World at War' produced by Jeremy Issacs. I was eleven when it was first broadcast in 1973, my father encouraging me and my brother to watch it, and it had a very strong effect on me, making me realise how lucky I was, but more so what my father had been through as an evacuee from East London during the blitz. Now I try and watch it every time I can, in fact I may even buy the DVD set for myself

Lawrence Olivier narration does, occasionally, lapse into the gouache - but that does not detract from the excellence of a truly brilliant series. Just think, this series was broadcast on ITV - how times have changed.
The Good life, UKTV Gold the last proper episode yesterday.......gotta wait till Christmas for the Christmas episode "I'm not interested in your Sister's Dinette" I guess, but would gladly watch the whole lot all over again!

Hear Hear Mark,
Love it in the Christmas special when measuring the tree... Tom.. `You`ve picked the wrong house here mate`
I still watch 'The Good Life' and 'To the Manor Born' - oddly enough I wanted to be Margot
Every now and then I make the kids sit through some seventies or eighties sitcom - my son really liked 'Man about the house', 'George and Mildred!'
Also 'Rising damp' and The fall and rise of Reginald Perrin and 'The Young ones'
Some are very disapointing - Citizen Smith was pretty awful and I remembered it fondly. 'The Liver Birds' was a bit of a disapointment too.
'Butterflies' was also pretty amazing - I'm actually starting to turn in to her I think..I never thought it would happen..apart from the fact that I can now cook!
Rab c Nesbitt is funnier than I remembered it - there was a scene I saw recently, where they go in to a flat in a tower block and the kids ride in on a horse! I have been in flats like that - where maybe they have got a giant motorbike or a huge dog or something and you wonder how they got it up there. Spot on!
Sorry that was really long. I'm all excited about something.
British: Fawlty Towers, Keeping Up Appearances, Blackadder (especially series 2-4), The Prisoner, Doctor Who.
American: (original) Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents/Hour, (original) The Fugitive, The Andy Griffith Show, Mystery Science Theater 3000.

I would think that Till Death Do Us Part was perfectly PC as it's pointing out bigotry and how foolish it is
