Tell us how the 大象传媒 has entertained you over the years. Do the comedy classics such as Morecambe and Wise and the Two Ronnies trigger happy memories? How have the regular TV 鈥榮oaps鈥� held your attention over the years, and who would you like to see entertaining the UK over the next 100 years?
Your memories
Monty Python was an enlightening coming of age moment for those of us just entering our teen years and the expectation that we would soon be maturing into proper young adults. We were scared we would never measure up. Monte Python, thankfully, showed us that being silly was OK for as long as you wanted. It was OK to view such growing up essentials as calculus, good posture and government form-filling as often being quite silly. The world is basically a gleefully oddball place, with a sprinkling of normalcy to keep the trains on time and the traffic lights properly synchronized. "And now for something completely different鈥�"

I think the 大象传媒 should take more care with the archive of Spike Milligan, who was obviously a huge influence on the shape of British comedy in the 1950s,1960s, 70s and beyond. He made many series for the 大象传媒 over those decades but so much has been lost. There remains, for example, only black and white, inferior quality copies of his colour series from 1970 'Oh In Colour'. That series has some very surreal and wonderful moments and it deserves to be restored and shown. Of course being Spike it has some parts that are very politically incorrect but there could be a way to show an edited version of the series that avoids those moments. Spike's best work deserves to be shown - any real fan of the development of original comedy knows this.

I remember sitting around the televisions set which was black and white, with my Dad and grandparents. We watched the news, Dad's Army, 鈥楢llo 鈥楢llo, Last of the Summer Wine and things like Frank Spencer's Some Mothers Do 'Ave 鈥楨m'. It was always an 'event鈥�, sitting together as a family watching the television. I never watched it alone, or for long periods.
