Britain's Best Sitcom

The BBC is doing another of its vox-pop "cultural" projects to decide which is Britain's best-ever sitcom. The final shortlist is:

Blackadder
Dad's Army
Fawlty Towers
The Good Life
One Foot in the Grave
Only Fools and Horses
Open All Hours
Porridge
The Vicar of Dibley
Yes Minister

Which are your favourites? Either Fawlty Towers or Only Fools and Horses have got to be most likely to win - and deservedly so - but personally I have a soft spot for the chaotic poignancy of Dad's Army and the fantastic scripts of Yes Minister. And Blackadder, of course.

You can still vote; the winner will be decided on Saturday 27th

For centuries to come, when not a soul
Is left to picnic on the blazing rocks,
When England is not England, when mankind
Has blown himself to pieces. Still the sea,
Consolingly disastrous, will return
While the strange starfish, hugely magnified,
Waits in the jewelled basin of a pool.
