Funhouse
Knightmare (series 1 -2)
I think, and it's just a hunch, that Jay's being a bit of a tinker.
Best TV show ever! Page 6

I am with Eldorado but I would put Funhouse and Knightmare up there with best TV shows ever, some of the best childrens programming was in the late 80s - early 90s (Knightmare in my opinion is a forerunner for reality TV)

Fair dos. In the spirit of agreement I shall take your Funhouse and raise you a Press Gang.

In all fairness I have only seen a handful of episodes of Press Gang but I understand that series 1 and 2 are out on DVD? 
Press Gang actually is awesome!
And I have one of those dvds.

And extremely influential.
I was well gutted to find out 'Spike' wasn't even American.

Dexter Fletcher had the worst American accent but Julia Sawalha showed promise 
Do you remember the episode where they were talking about making a TV show about the paper, and Lee, I think, said: "Well they'd better get a proper American to play Spike."
Didn't Moffat write Press Gang?
Trevor's World of Sport - another sitcom that deserved a second series and starred the guy from Press Gang

Yes, he did.

Yes, it did.
Of course, it's lived on as a Radio 4 show with the same cast. I think it was on its fourth series at the last count.

Ha! No I don't.

As someone who HATES sport, I agree.
Re Press Gang, the only thing I remember about it is the gorgeous Julia Sawalha.
(I think) Richard Herring watched it and fancied her too, and ended up going out with her.
Dreeams can come truue.
