Apparently (OK it was in the Daily Wail), GMTV has been dumbed down. How was that possible?

Hmmm, I can see how significant alonetime and a broadband connection might do this.

Just off to boil the kettle, back in 5.

If ITV had made a decent sitcom since 1974, it could fill the schedules with sitcoms, in the manner of Channel 4 – sadly it hasn't.

So anybody,

What was the decent sitcom made by ITV in 1974?

Enquiring minds wish to know.

I haven't a clue, as I didn't watch much telly that year.

I remember the odd day off sick when AnnbloodyDiamond was on GMTV.

As soon as the clock hit 9, the subject was firmly turned to wimmins' plumbing. No other subject would do. Nowt for the blokes at all.
