Yes, look at Pool E. 12 heroes have voted Beaver, and look like they are getting rid of Butterflies, Hi de Hi, Just Good Friends and till death us do part (far too bigoted in today’s climes). Magnificent work.

The whole point of 'til death us do part was to show Alf was an arse, so Alf was bigoted, but not the show.

Good to see dinnerladies carted, massively over-rated. Likewise Ab Fab.

Ab Fab was shockingly over-rated I thought.

I quite liked dinnerladies but mainly because I was very fond of Victoria Wood. As I cannot abide French and Saunders, even the presence of the sainted June Whitfield could not redeem Ab Fab in my eyes.
