Pre recorded. They will eventually run out of those.
Thankfully.

I think it's one of the better 70s Britcoms. Leonard Rossiter was a superb comic actor.

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?

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

Here's the thing, while you can't say that on telly it is still what would be said in reality, All derogatory terms are still in use by all generations, don't let a few Twitter snowflakes make you think otherwise

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

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

Space 1999

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

Was remade in 2005.

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

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.

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

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.
