Back in the late 80s there were what I would call the "Big 3" slightly out there sitcoms..all were shown as far as I can remember on a Friday evening and all were on the (once great) BBC2..myself,my brother & our mate would get together every Friday and watch whatever was served up on tv..The Ritz was by far one of the best from that era along with "Colin's Sandwich" (starring Mel Smith) & the third in our trilogy being "Mornin' Sarge"..all were brilliantly written,probably had a small cult following & as far as i'm aware have never been repeated (certainly not on the BBC)..like the above reviewer,I too have found the episodes on youtube (thanks to whoever uploaded them),though the picture quality is a bit iffy to say the least,it's great seeing them again..thankfully Colin's Sandwich has been released on DVD - sadly the other two have not - which is a bit scandalous in this day and age..come on BBC,get your act together and get these repeated or released onto disc.
