Same here. Eric Sykes, genius.

Again, must be my age, but I don't find the current crop of TV comedy at all funny - but the likes of Open All Hours are timeless IMHO

I do have him on film in a wonderful Eric Sykes classic silent film The Plank and for good measure it is a double bill DVD including It's Your Move also written and directed by the inimitable Sykes.

Jam & Jerusalem last week was rather good. As for Sykes, I can still remember the sitcom he did with Hattie Jacques. Ah, memories.
