, Fawlty Towers, One Foot In The Grave, To The Manor Born, Good Neighbors, and Keeping Up Appearances with Hyacinth Bucket (it's Bouquet)!I could name more, but I'm going to have some tea with my royal doultons with the hand-painted periwinkles!
Yes Buzzer I am not a Brit but I grew up with some of these classics. The top of the list for me of 70s shows was the inimitable John Cleese and Fawlty Towers. Only 12 episodes made and every one a gem. Whenever I fancy a good old belly laff I will drag out an episode of FT. Likewise with Victor and Margaret in One Foot. I have watched every episode at least five times and never tire of it.
