great post Allard..spot on....especially your take on the Gale and Peel eras...and I often feel the same, when I hear the opening chords of Dankworth's or Johnson's show theme...

Don't watch episodes for what they lack, watch them for what they are great at.
Perfect advice. It's how I've come to love every era of the show. I also find something to enjoy in every single episode. Not everything, but there's always something - usually quite a lot.
As someone wisely said about another long-running show, but which equally applies to all of ours from 1961-76.... "no-one sets out to make a bad episode". It's all done with professionalism, and a sense of fun in there somewhere.

exactly..sense of fun...and that includes the actors, etc...if they don't feel comfortable, or at least like / respect the story line / script, then it's moot point, as the show eventually circles the drain, I don't remember any 'long' running series, when the writers/actors disliked it...
