But tell me, dear reader, where would Fawlty Towers sit in the above table?
Fawlty Towers ran for two series in the 70s and has since become a staple of UK Gold, Christmas telly and humorous immigrant jokes. But what do YOU think?

It’s a stone cold classic. Some things have not aged well. This has.

It’s so fucking good. Perfect comedic structuring for it’s entire run.

I don’t think many comedies of that era have stood the test of time particularly well. This has, imo, as has Reggie Perrin.

My dad loved it so we got him the VHS box set for xmas one year when I was younger and I used to watch it a lot, really loved it.
Think I’d find it quite cringey now.

Papers arrived yet, Fawlty?

Breaking Bad topping that table is a travesty.

I don’t think you would other than the obvious stuff like the Major’s racism.

When I was about 10 I thought Fawlty Towers was the funniest thing I had ever seen, can’t remember laughing so much at anything ever.

The part with the moose’s head in the Germans episode is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Still stands up really well, fantastic programme.

Is that not one of those things where they’re making fun of him because he’s racist though?
“Look at this daft old bastard with his racist views”
Would watch if it was on.

Yeah sort of but it’s still a little uncomfortable.

An all time favourite. Not quite 5/5 but pretty close.
My sister can’t watch it because she finds it too stressful.
