Best: Wallander (Swedish version) Worst : Take me out or anything involving Paddy McGuinness and his over the top Bolton accent Second and not far behind although Mrs Brown's Boys is a vehicle to keep anybody related to Brendan O' Carrol in employment.

Really enjoyed harry Enfields stuff and the fast show. Back in the day. Maybe hasn't aged well. Couldn't stand MR BEAN. Max 2 mins

There does seem to be an overwhelming consensus that Mrs Brown's Boys is the worst. I know it's a middle aged geezer made up to look like a warty old woman, but to me its overkill in that they put an unsightly wart on the chin which actually makes him/her quite repellant to look at.

Impossible to answer, covers to much of a range. For instance, how do you split OFAH and Cracker? Gun to my head tho I'd go Hill Street Blues for my best and Mrs Browns boys as worst.

I've tried watching Friends - never manage to get further than a few minutes in. Do you have to have had watched a whole episode of something to formally declare it on your 'worst' list? If so I wouldn't;t be able to add things like; Miranda, Mrs Brown's Boys, Friends or anything with Jack Whitehall.

arsene york-hunt 3:32 Sun Sep 3 Funnily there is an episode of Friends without the canned laughter and it's terrible. Not at all funny. The so called funny bits are very juvenile as well.

Best: Only Fools - only the Brits can get the humour. Worst: Antiques Roadshow - not because its a poor watch, it just evokes that 'Sunday Night, Monday Tomorrow' sinking feeling.

Friends mentioned as worst is an excellent shout. I was once told it was a comedy show but the only evidence for this was the totally random canned laughter.

Favourite is Survivors (1975 - 1977) Least favourite is probably Mrs Brown's Boys.

Growing up in a council flat was grim enough on Sunday nights,to top it off when the boat comes in come on the tele couldn’t run to the snore quick enough. A depressing load of shit set in the north east.

Worst sitcom I remember was called 'All About Me' Jasper Carrot, Meera Syal and their mixed race blended family, including a mute disabled lad in a wheelchair, spitting wisecracks through his Stephen Hawkins style speaky machine (because rspid, spontaneous wise cracks is how those things work, of course). God it was dire.

Chim - re TV theme tunes reminding you that it's the end of the weekend and back to school in the morning, the opening music to Last of the Summer Wine always depressed me for that same reason.
