A fantastic sellection of intros from some classic British sitcoms of the 70's.
I did upload this a while back but due to a copyright infringement I had to re-edit without Citizen Smith!! Enjoy.

The two biggest things that struck me from this was how brilliantly funny comedies were back in the 70s when I was young and how sad it is that so many of the actors in them are no longer with us.

The Likely Lads theme is the most poignant and evocative sit-com theme of all time in my humble opinion. I'm 57 now and I found it strangely moving when I was ten years old. Feeling sad and nostalgic for all the great stars and characters (and just as, if not more importantly, great writers) we've lost over the years after watching this (can't see the BBC doing a tribute to Arthur Mullard anytime soon!) Britain used to be such an upbeat country - we used to laugh about everything, especially when times were tough. Feels so fucking miserable and angry now.

Misery, corruption, all the governments of the world becoming more communist than democratic, big brother always watching you, etc. I'm probably the only person of my age group around that watches many of these series and that doesn't get offended by what the politically correct people think is offensive. My sisters tell me i'm racist for watching these programmes even though i'm not. Only for these comedies from the past like these ones and more, I would never be happy at all. Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads is a great series.

@@jahno7154 Love thy Neighbour was a strange one. It, like the Alf Garnett character in Til Death Us Do Part, was an anti-racism comedy, yet the characters casually threw out terms that would be completely unacceptable today, even in the context of someone using language that was commonly used. There's part of a scene in one Fawlty Towers episode that's cut now when it's repeated because it would cause offense, even though the whole point was to send up the stupidity of racists. I think it's unlikely that nobody was offended, but it was just harder for such voices to be heard.

I was born in the 1950s. I live in North America. I see, looking back, how comedies in the 1960s and 1970s did not hesitate to depict older, senior, characters. It seems now everyone is in their early 30s and are very wealthy. Sometimes the characters look so much alike it's hard to distinguish them. Despite being comedies, they 1970s character depiction was far more relatable.

No "Til Death Us Do Part" is bad but to leave out "Rising Damp" is insane. Despite that, thank you Johnny. Good stuff there.

Surprised how many I'd forgotten about and a few I don't remember at all. I didn't like all these shows but most of them and remember looking forward to when new episodes came on. A time when you had to wait a week to see the next episode of your favourite shows where as today you binge watch what you like.

Love thy neighbour is a product of it's time and was quite accurate. The fun part is that the two men are rivals and the two wives are good friends who just sigh at their husbands. Remove the racist language (which was standard for the time) and it's still really funny now. I had black friends at school who loved the show just as much as I did and we'd laugh about the antics the guys would get up to the next day at school.

No, quite a few of them weren't so good. We love to remember the Fawlty Towers, the Reggie Perrins, etc., but many of these deserve their obscurity. ITV in particular have made some absolute howlers- but the BBC didn't always produce gold either.

Love the way they used 20 something year old actors to play teenagers in Please Sir lol... Noticed though no Rising Damp, Citizen Smith or Man about the house, loved Shelley, have the complete DVD collection... But still a great complication put together here.

I'm an American who started watching British comedies in the early 1970s on PBS (no cable tv yet). My first was "Doctor In The House". I've seen 14 of these. I've heard of a few more, but I haven't seen them.

On the Buses, which I have on DVD and watch often. Of course the humor would not be tolerated today as everyone is too precious now unfortunately

Loved Are you being served growing up. Sadly in the states we didn't really get much of these on TV in the 90s but I have to say Shelley's set reminds me of the bar in EastEnders. I wonder if they reused parts of it.
