Lots of good shows being mentioned. I've seen a lot of them. I agree about Jeremy Brett being the best Sherlock Holmes on TV. I bought the dvd box set of that show, it was worth it!
I made a list in 2017 of all the shows I've got. I'll keep in to the British based shows. I've bought more since then though;
Film (or series spin off films);
Are you being served
Kes
The boys in blue
The likely lads
George & Mildred
Man about the house
The beiderbecke trilogy
These were the tv series;
Are You Being Served?
Dad's army
Dear Mother.. Love Albert - This was Rodney Bewes next comedy after whatever happened to the likely lads. It has some loose references to show. You'd have to be a Bewes fan to get through it.
Don't drink the water - This was a sort of continuation of on the buses character blakey, were he takes his sister to Spain.
Executive Stress - Series 1 to 3 - The main star of this sitcom was Penelope Keith, and worked along side Geoffrey Palmer and then Peter Bowles for the last 2 series.
George & Mildred
Grace & Favour - A continuation of Are you being Served.
Jimmy Clitheroe "That's my boy!" - I used to listen to the radio show version of this on the BBC.
Lucky Feller - One of David Jasons early comedies.
Man about the house
No that's me over there - An early Ronnie Corbett comedy series.
Odd man out - I think this was John Inmans show after Are you being served.
Only when I laugh
Only fools and horses
On the buses
Pardon the expression - Arthur Lowe stars in this. It's actually a spinoff of the character he played on Coronation Street, Leonard Swindley. It also starred Betty Driver who played Betty from coronation street for years.
Rising Damp
Robin's Nest
Second Thoughts - Good series starring Lynda Bellingham, James Bolam, and also brought the Belinda Lang (of 2 point 4 children) and Julia Sawalha (and her sister Nadia) to our screens.
Sherlock Holmes Collection
Slingers Day - This was the follow up to Trippers day, but featured Bruce Forsyth (his only situational comedy role), after Leonard Rossiters death.
Sorry! - starring Ronnie Corbett
Take A Letter Mr Jones... Another of John Inman's shows, this time co-starring with Rula Lenska and a young Miriam Margolyes.
The Bounder - This stars Peter Bowles, as well as George Cole - better known as Arthur Daley.
The fall and rise of reginald perrin
The likely lads collection
The paul temple collection
The Prince of Denmark - Ronnie Corbett starred in this along side Rosemary Leach. I think this was a forerunning for "No That's me over there" as it they both star in that along the same lines of this.
Trippers Day - This was the original before Slinger's Day and starred Leonard Rossiter, until his death.
Up the elephant and round the castle - Starring Jim Davidson.. kinda cheaply made but it had a few laughs.
Home James! - another starring Jim Davidson, a bigger budget on this series and stars a young Sherrie Hewson
Waiting for God - kind of a slow series about 2 older people living in a retirement home. Starring the brilliant Stephanie Cole, along side Graham Crowden.
I got more but I think thats enough for now
