What's the funniest thing you've seen on television?
I have a shortlist of my own favourite moments:
1. Catchphrase ‘wanking Mr Chips’ episode
2. Anthea Turner motorbike explosion
3. Blue Peter ‘vandalised garden’ report
4. That’s Life ‘rossages’ dog story
5. John Noakes crying when asked how Shep is, because Shep had recently died
6. Trevor Cleaver’s ‘bacon and eggs mum’ acting masterclass on the Grange Hill barge school trip
7. ‘Fresh and Fly’ live at the Grange Hill end of term party on the school field
8. Five Star ‘why are you so fucking crap?’ phone-in question

What have I missed?

1) Del Boy falling through the bar still makes me laugh, which is mildly impressive, as it's the only thing in the entire series to make me even crack a smile
2) Basil Fawlty attacking the car with the branch.
3) A Tommy Cooper interview on Parkinson that I think is brilliant.
4) "Tomato - Ted - aubergine - your - potato - wife's - turnip - dead."
5) The episode of 'Have I Got News For You' after the story about Angus Deayton taking cocaine.

These are a lot harder to think of than I'd expected.
