Whereas now, 'Love Thy Neighbour' would be banned!

More's the pity - we're all too 'precious' and politically correct these days!

They still show it on cable - or did a couple of years back anyway. It's still not funny thirty-five years on - and I'm not being politically correct either (perish the thought!).

I never actually saw it. The only ITV sitcom I really liked was 'Rising Damp'. Most of them were awful.

Hi Steve

Brian Blessed is amazing in that episode. Season 1 is vastly better than season 2.

I only saw Logan's Run recently, when the Sci-Fi channel repeated it...missed it first time round. It reminded me a bit of The Fantastic Journey anyone remember that short lived series ?

I liked 'On the Buses' and 'Mind Your Language', too - not to mention the 'Carry On' series!

I guess it must be my penchant for cheesy 70s humour

Alf Garnett would not only be banned but exterminated...

How about Flash Gordon, anyone?
