Brothers Del Boy and Rodney Trotter live and work in Peckham, London. They trade illegally and are look after their Grandad. They're later joined by their Uncle Albert. Written by John Sullivan.

Dawn French's vicar appears in the sleepy village of Dibley, much to the bemusement of the dozy villagers. Shamefully only series one available at present.

Only 12 episodes over 2 series, but I dare you to find a duff episode. Peerless writing, faultless acting and brilliant characters. Even the minor characters are a joy.

The antics of Robbie Barker's Fletch and the late, great Richard Beckinsale as Godber as they languish in Slade Prison. The spin off was Going Straight.

Forget Tom and Barbara's self sufficiency. It's Margo and Jerry who are the real stars. Penelope Keith steals every scene she appears in.

It came from nowhere and how we loved it. Who would have thought that 3 priests and their housekeeper living on a secluded island could be so joyous?

It lasted longer than the war, but how we would have loved a visit to Cafe Renee. If only to hear Madame Edith belt out another tune.

The best father and son duo in sitcom history. This even spawned 2 superb feature films. Thank God Harold never left Albert.

Brilliant. Inspired casting with Joanna Lumley and June Whitfield. Who would have thought they would work so well with Jennifer Saunders? Thankfully they're still at it today. More please.

Only lasted 2 series but they quite while at the top. How can it be so good to watch a bunch of layabouts doing nothing? It works.

Thanks to an ITV strike this got some of the best viewing figures ever. It helps that it's jolly good too. Penelope Keith on fine form again.

The Likely Lads and Whatever Happened To gave us the first taste of nothern humour in sitcom. The Beeb lost most of the original series, but thankfully the sequel is faultless and still in existence.

I've never understood the appeal of this. And if I see that clip of him dancing again I'll go loopy.
