    As well as The Young Ones, he also wrote Blackadder and has had a hand in many , many really good bits of TV .

    I can't believe he put his name to that crap the other night.

    I am not a prude but if this is the state of comedy now then I can understand why the younger generation have no sense of humour.

    Give me the 2 Ronnies or Dave Allen any day.
    Nobody can match The Two Ronnies.....

    Gotta agree with you Ben was pretty tame.

    Also give me Love Thy Neighbour, Yes Minister, One Foot in the Grave, Dad's Army, Steptoe and Son, The Good Life, Are You Being Served?, Blackadder, Blackadder Goes Forth, Faulty Towers, The Goodies, Men Behaving Badly, Open All Hours, The Young Ones and Birds of a Feather, Robins Nest and whatever else I can't remember right now.

    They were comedy, not canned laughter, not ... I must be a belligerent old fart when you had to get off the lounge to turn the tv channel, when people knew what comedy was, when...
    Didn't Ben Elton write the Young Ones? Either way, his only decent work was when he co-wrote with Richard Curtis. Yet strangely, Curtis writes well on his own - I suspect that that does indicate something. As for Elton's books.....
