It has some real gems in it, but not enough to put it in my "category A" programmes.

And it's not just me being an old fogey (which I am). My own 19-yr old daughter and her boyfriend think the same. They'd still rather watch Blackadder, or Open All Hours, or Only Fools And Horses, or Absolutely Fabulous, or Friends, or Rising Damp, or The Rise And Fall Of Reginald Perrin for the 50th time on video.

God bless the VCR.

And guess what - I am taking my Morecombe & Wise tapes to Oz next week. It may be unseasonably hot, but we're going to have a proper Christmas! And no Cliff Richard holding his face up with braces on the London Palladium for the dubious entertainment of a 60-year old Prince and the masses. Deary me, no - it's M&W for us and the Basil Brush Christmas Special.

OK, I lied about Basil Brush.
