Watched all of that recently and yes it has aged terribly. The whole concept of it was terrible as well do.

Awe no ''Buck Rogers in the 25th Century'' is classic. I love watching it when its on the T.V which is rare enough.
Maybe it was very sexist alright and it would have to be wrote different for sure now but I still love it.

Ah, I loved Buck Rogers too. I just don’t think it would get made today. Not without a major overhaul!

8 classic Arthur Daley quotes

Arthur on being a businessman

1. "You make contact with your customer. Understand their needs. And then flog them something they could well do without.”

Arthur on criminals

2. "You can't find a good honest-to-God decent professional thief anymore, they've all gone to live in bloody Spain."

Arthur’s life philosophy

3. "You only get out of life what you put in and a bit more if you can find a couple of mugs.”

Arthur Daley in Minder

Arthur’s truth

4. Arthur: “I swear on my sainted mother’s grave.”
Terry: “I happen to know your mother is alive and well and living in Frinton.”
Arthur: “Well never mind that.”

Arthur’s lingo skills

5. “What’s French for en-suite facilities?”

Arthur the culture vulture

6. Arthur: "Late 18th century. Estimated sale price seven hundred and fifty pounds
Terry: “Seven hundred and fifty nicker? You can get them in washable plastic for three gallons of four-star.”
Arthur: “You are unlikely to find washable plastic being offered for sale in the Clapham Auction Rooms.”

Arthur the expert

7. Arthur: “Terry. That is... that is ‘an Indian ebony and porcupine quill workbox, nineteenth century". Described as "distressed".
Terry: “Distressed?”
Arthur: “Yes, that is a term they use in the auctioneering world.”
Terry: “Yeah, loosely translated as ‘knackered’!”
Arthur: “As with most things in this life, Terry, it is in the eye of the beholder. One man's firewood is another man's porcupine wotsisname.”

Minder on ITV

Arthur on age

8. Boy: “Naff off, you narky old b*****d!”
Arthur: “Not so much of

Yep, John Sullivan's prequel to the show "Rock and Chips" is noticably more PC. For example at one point Del gets engaged to an Indian girl and no heed is paid to her race. I'm fairly sure if that happened in OFAH the Indian part would have been central to the episode's plot and gags.

Sanford and Son was a remake of Steptoe and Son.

Other than that I can't see why they couldn't be remade other than some of them weren't funny

Series 1 was so much better than series 2

Watching reruns of the Sweeney on ITV4 at the moment. Plenty in there to offend the delicate. Hard boozing, casual sexism, roughing up wrong uns.

They made a filum a while back with the same name.

Other than that it bore no relation whatsoever to the series.

Was remade in 2005.

It's not utterly terrible. But once you've seen the original there's not much worth watching.

Read up on it a while back, whole thing was one disaster to another, scripts having to be sent away to be approved by US networks, switching studios, strike breaking, main characters leaving over pay, pure disaster

The first series wasn't bad but they changed producers for series 2. Wilma went from capable pilot to damsel in distress, plots went from evil alien s to bad western serial, complete with cowboys

I'm assuming the RTE relaunch a few year ago and the Mrs Brown chat show using the same format?

Benny Hill totally.
But isn't two and a half men considered "recent" of sorts?

Had to check it up there while writing this. It started in 2003 and ended in 2015. Only watched a handful of episodes. Did it change towards the end?
