I LOVE Carry On, On The Buses, Are You Being Served. All before my time but I love them. Recently discovered another old sitcom too, The Lovers.
Honestly, I cannot relate to the stuff targeted at my generation.

Mulholland Drive

Before my time, but I've seen clips of Rising Damp and Porridge. Both very good, but probably wouldn't see the light of day today

I personally feel the early and mid carry ons were cheeky and funny (not always relying on sex humour) and id say had just as strong female roles as male, especially for their time. Hattie Jaques and Sylvia Sims were not quiet and submissive women. But the latter ones did head towards smut and were also less funny to me.

She was brilliant in everything she did, a real comedy actress. Among other things she was great as Mrs Creswell in Only Foold and Horses. Also fab in Gimme Gimme Gimme,

That's good to know; but does it come with of those warnings about "this sitcom contains outdated attitudes and stereotypes from a bygone age"?

Its one of the oldies that is seen as the least offensive and ahead if its time because philip is shown as well spoken, well educated and intelligent man and rigsby as the narrow minded ignoramus.

A number of years ago, HMV were selling individual copies of the Carry On films for £3.99 each. I wish I had purchased more than I did, they were worth every penny.
We don't watch live television since the TV licence was cancelled, so I dug out my collection of Carry On films, and we've been watching one a day since Christmas Eve.

Seems to be a lot of nostalgia on Tattle at the moment, so I thought I would give this thread a bump!
