as you can see series 3 suffered a bit. its still superb tho!

I think the problem is that they probably asked people what their favourite episode was- i9f they'd asked everyone to rank the episodes in oder it may well have been different- I find that series 3 is no-one's favourite, but it never seems to be anyone's least favourite either, which isn't reflected in the poll.

i agree, series three may not contain an individual episode which is many peoples favourites, but as a series it's very good (well they all are!) and yes youre right, the poll was done on voting for individual favourite eposodes.

i cant argue with Beer being the best tho!

Personally, I would rate goodbyee as number one, the Beer at 2.

Goodbyee is the best.

its a tuff call, goodbyeee and beer are def the best two. i cant believe the archbishop isnt higher, i reckon its the best in series 1

I'm surprised at how low all of series 4 is apart from privatre plane and goodbyeee- but again it's probably because those who like series 4 best would most likely have voted for one of those two, which is why I think ranking on a sliding scale would have given a better representation but hey, I don't ru that website do I?

(At least i assume not, unless there's something very weird going on in my guestbook!)

ok then what are your top 10 episodes in rank order! to prove your point (if u can be arsed) i'm bored so here's mine


1.Beer
2.Goodbyeee
3.The Archbishop
4.Ink and Incapability
5.Money
6.Dish and Dishonesty
7.General Hospital
8.Private Plane
9.Potato
10. The Queen of Spain's beard

it's so hard to choose tho coz there isn't really a'bad' episode in all 4. the only one i dont find that funny is sense and senility the one with the actors

1) Goodbyeeee
2) Beer

21) corporal punishment
22) back and forth
23) Born to Be king
24) Nob and Nobility
25) Witchsmeller Pursuivant
26) sense and senility
27)The Foretelling

very impressive!
series 1 not ur fave then

No, I don't think it's as bad as some people seem to think, but it's probably the weakest of the four.

fair enough, i personally rate it as the second best. altho edmund is just a slimey sod i still reckon its top dog.

i would say
1st series 2
2nd series 1
3rd series 4
4th series 3

but series three contains sum of my fave episodes.

I'd say 4-2-3-1, but it's all a matter of opinion really isn't it.

Indeedeth!

yup.
