Him&Her is one of the most underrated British sitcoms ever imo.

Brilliant writing, great performances, and just one location - this always impressses me with any TV show or film and makes each episode of Him&Her feel like a short play.

It’s super relatable, a great depiction of working class Brits, and every episode is hilarious. All the performances are pitch perfect but Ricky Champ’s Paul and Kerry Howard’s Laura are standouts.

Yet I don’t hear people talking about it enough! Why is that? Why did it never reach a wider audience?

The Good Life was a huge hit back in the 70s. The chemistry between Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal, Penelope Keith, and Paul Eddington was unbeatable. Do you think it still stands up against more modern sitcoms?

lmao.

Saw an episode on tv last night and spent the first ten seconds thinking it was a lost Red Dwarf episode. I didn't even know the show existed.

Did it get a good reception when it first aired? And were people upset it only ran for two seasons?

Does anyone have some favourite moments of this gem?

From Man Down (Channel 4). I love this scene, the little girl here is brilliant and it’s probably one of my favourites from the whole show. One of those sitcoms that could turn pure anger into something hilarious, and honestly it’s easily one of the most underrated sitcoms of the last decade. Watching someone absolutely lose it has never been this funny.

Anyone else got a favourite Man Down moment that always makes you laugh?"

Every time I rewatch The Good Life I’m blown away by how good the cast were. Penelope Keith absolutely nails Margo here, and Paul Eddington’s reactions are priceless. Scenes like this remind me why it’s one of the best 70s sitcoms. Anyone else still revisit it regularly?

I think ‘Black Books’ flew way under the radar, I rewatched it the other day and it is sooooo funny!!

Feel like I may be missing out on some great ones.

Apparently Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was a fan

Nothing else to add.. .

Feels like it doesn’t get mentioned as much as Men Behaving Badly or The Royle Family, but it had such a strong cult following. Do you think it deserved more mainstream credit?

Rewatched this clip the other day and honestly, Basil’s meltdown over a salad had me in stitches all over again. Only Fawlty Towers could turn an order into pure chaos. For the fans, where does the Waldorf scene rank for you? Top 5? Or do you think another episode takes the crown?
