I just been watching the classic Terry and June, but have noticed something strange
In season 2 episode 3 terrys nephew arrives, he rings the door bell and askes for a quid.... terry gives him a coin and in turn goes to the driver of the taxi
what is strange is, pound coins came into circulation in 1983 yet this episode is from 1980.

As you do if you're a desperate crawler looking for promotion or a pay rise
Terry and Jerry had the same boss who treated both June and Margo the same way.
Glad we don't.
Lazy and dire.
One of the nadirs of the sitcom genre
But at least most were funny.
No, they weren't.
I'd rather watch 10 episodes of Terry and June than one of The Royle Family or Extras
Agree, as I wrote Terry and June could at least be funny.
It is accused of being "lazy" but many of the later trendier shows run on the same joke week after week. I would hardly call "The Royal Family" innovative or original, every week seems to be the same as the week before.
Yes, that was funny really - they had different names and were in different industry but identical personas!:D
Comedy in "subjective" shocker!
It's probably dated badly, but a good episode was memorable, particularly the one with the beefburgers on a record player.
I think it changed long before the Royle Family.
Sitcoms seemed to die with the Men Behaving Badly. After this it was sketch shows (Fast Show, Smack the Pony, etc). Then the Royle Family brought back a sort of parody to a sitcom.
The only sitcom in recent years which seems to have lasted is My Family and that is just dire now! (I say that, I haven't watched it for years - after Chris left, really - as it was dire then!).
Also, Miss Hathaway, who has always been touted as the first latent Lesbian character on mainstream US TV spends most of her time ignoring the luscious Ellie May and lusting after the dopey Jethro.
Hey ho, another TV myth bites the dust.
My Family's weakness seems to be that it seems to be written in the American mass production style where you keep bringing in new writers for a few episodes when most classic sitcoms have been written a single writer (or more often perhaps a pair).
Scott was far funnier as Dangermouse's geeky friend

Ta, H gets 5/10 for effort:)
