Yeah. Wrong thread. Must be the PTSD from watching Alec Baldwin in an oversized train conductor's uniform, trying to portray a human.

I won't say 'best' because that's far too subjective. Often the films I'm reliably informed are 'genius' leave me a bit cold. Some of my favourites are Shakespeare in Love (clever and funny) and The Silence of the Lambs (not a scene wasted, brilliantly quotable). One from my childhood: 'Sky West and Crooked', a strange, wistful and dark little film starring Hayley Mills and Ian McShane (swoon!) The critics hated it, stating it was a rip off of Whistle Down the Wind, but it's nothing like it. There is no competition for the worst film I've ever seen. 'Thomas and the Magic Railroad'. I was in the cinema with my kids, so there was no escape to the kitchen to flick tea towels over the cupboards and surfaces. Sitting in that cinema I experienced physical manifestations of impatience and despair. My head was ringing and my chest and limbs were buzzing with electricity. I had to wrestle with my mind and body not to get up and leave, dragging bewildered kids with me. It was genuinely that bad a film.

Best: Cracker Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul World at War (if we're including documentaries) Only things I've ever watched and really enjoyed beginning to end tbh. Gomorra and Game of Thrones were amazing in first 3-4 seasons but dropped off so can't really put them Worst: Dunno don't watch shit i know i won't like so out of things I've actually watched would have to say The Walking Dead, purely cos kept trying for ages after it got shit in season 2 (s1 was brilliant), fucking massive waste of time and happy that everyone else seems to finally be admitting how awful it was

Best: FA Cup final 1980 Worst: All Together Now A programme with a wall of 100 degenerate looking types, and a bad solo singer. If any of the scumbags on the wall liked the singer they would join in. This programme convinced me that society had finally reached it's point of no return as far as decadence was concerned. The show was so appalling it made Noel's House Party look intellectual.

Best: Blackadder. Stands the test of time for me and I still laugh out loud watching it all these years later. Worst: Mrs Brown's Boys. Absolute cսnt fest. My in laws I love to death but I've even had it out with them as to how shit this is when they sit there laughing at what they believe they should laugh at even though its as funny as cancer. Got into a row with them, I said "What are you actually laughing at?" its not funny. They said "We like it. It's funny." I said "Dont laugh when the audience laughs, laugh when you think its funny. They never laughed again. I said "Turn this fucking shite off"

Alfs - I couldn't really get into The Sweeney, but it was just a little before my time mind, but don't think you could beat Minder for characters and story lines. Also thought Waterman had a better role in Minder and had grown as an actor.

Loved Minder too. I auditioned for the reboot, along with every 30 something actor in the country. But you just couldn't replace Dennis Waterman.. Though for me, The Sweeny was better. It was the first cop show where sometimes the villains got away with it.

Minder was better than The Sweeney. Just good friends was a good sitcom from the 80's. Agree about Prison Break, incredible TV, one of the few shows where I watched episodes back to back into the wee hours.

Hard to say the best. So many brilliant shows. Loved Fawlty Towers, The Young Ones, The Sweeney and The Professionals. Edge of Darkness, Boys from the Blackstuff, Survivors, Prime Suspect, Cracker, all of those were on before I was 30. More recently, the early seasons of Prison Break and GoT's. Lost, until it went up it's own arse. Succession, though I'm still to watch the last season. Soprano's, of course. As for the worst, everyone has nailed it. Mrs Brown's Boys and Miranda. Both incredibly successful yet dire. In fact, we produce a lot of shit comedy, but very occasionally brilliant comedy, such as The Office, The Metal Detectors, Extras. And Some Mother's do have 'em. Genius performance from Michael Crawford. I could literally write a PHD on the subject, which is why I will finish now.

I thought The Leftovers was better than Lost. It actually had a decent ending and didn’t go on for too many series. I also thought 24 was excellent for about the first four series. I gave up after a while after that.

Lost.....ok didn't have a great ending, but nothing beat it for the anticipation of a new episode and some of the best end of season cliff-hangers
