I've been telling people that this is my all-time favourite TV show for 30 years. I just about have all the episodes on home-made video and DVD, but the quality isn't great. I don't know why the BBC can't stream old programmes like this. They could even make some money out of it.
It's a character-based comedy and all of the main characters are hilarious in their own way, including Reg, Doris, Dennis, Leslie and Arlene. My favourite has changed many times over the years, but now I just accept that they are all equally brilliant.
The episode in which Reg finally makes it back to Shepherd's Bush is the most gloriously delightful thing you can ever imagine.
Any fans out there might want to have a go at this quiz I once made for my family:
Who was Reg's favourite footballer?
Who was named after that footballer?
Who did Tracey run away to Bali with?
What was Reg's favourite pub?
What team did Leslie support?
Where did Arlene go to a singing audition?
Who played the part of Doris?
Who was Dennis's ex-wife?
What does Leslie like on the top of his trifle?
