I somewhat agree but I do really like Stage Fright, The Class Of 62, and He Ain't Heavy He's My Uncle.
The Class Of 62 is ridiculous really. The idea that the woman who Del has settled down and is having a baby with, turns out to be the ex-wife of Slater, is contrived nonsense, and felt as if John Sullivan was running out of ideas.
But I still really like it partly just because I find it entertaining, and partly because you don't often see Boycie, Denzil, Trigger, Mike, and Denzil all together in the same episode. The banter at the reunion before and after Slater walks through the door is brilliant.
The Sky's The Limit and Chance Of A Lunchtime are a bit boring and tedious, and didn't need to be longer than 30 minutes.
For some reason, Denzil never made any appearances from 1986 - 1988.
When he thinks he's going crazy in To Hull and Back (1985), that's the last you see of him until Danger UXD in series 6 (1989).
Did he actually go into a psychiatric hospital for a couple of years?
Trudy in Chance Of A Lunchtime. Falling about all over the place drunk, with an annoying laugh. I always skip that little part.
Their dad in Thicker Than Water. Annoying voice.
Damien in the last three episodes.
Del Boy in A Royal Flush and Wanted for what he does to Rodney. He deserved a punch.
Eh? The thread is about annoying characters.
Yep. Tracy Ann Oberman's always being sexy.
I don't know. How did you? It's class.
I don't know about a crap version of Black Books but for whatever reason I've never been able to get into The IT Crowd.
Black Books on the other hand is great.
Black Books.
One of the best final sitcom episodes of all time.
"Hello mum, it's me, Errol. The Chinese one". 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He and Lock made a good double act.
Yep. I crack up just at the mere sight of Harry Enfield as Charlie.
Nah, it's hilarious.
It's a great film. I just wish I'd discovered it sooner. I just watched it for the first time on TV only recently.
It's one of my favourite films of all time, not just 80's. So for me, it's more in the genius category.
I love the visuals, atmosphere, black comedy, and how uncompromising it is. But I agree with the poster who said it's not for everyone. There's no doubt some would find it boring.

Still one of the best things on TV though.
It was hot.
Medieval Scotland must have had great dentists that William Wallace and Robert the Bruce frequented often. Not a discoloured or broken tooth anywhere.
Before you run into battle, throw your sword hundreds of yards behind you for no reason other than it looks dramatic and cool.
People probably wouldn't still be going on about the inaccuracies if Gibson hadn't talked about how much research he'd done into William Wallace and the true events during promoting the film because he wanted to get as much historical accuracy as possible.
The truth is, Gibson just wanted to make a western. He saw Dances With Wolves, was impressed with how ambitious Costner's epic scope was for his directorial debut, and wanted to follow suit, and used the war between England and Scotland in order to do that.
Nothing wrong with that but then why not just set a film during the same period about the same conflict with completely fictional characters?
I was being tongue in cheek but it is a curious film in the way it portrays Scots.
It's like a Victorian England outlook of the Scottish.
The moment where Gibson stands there covered in blood, raises his sword in the air, and yells like a football hooligan is cringeworthy.
