Outline your perfect evening of guilt-free comfort tv

Then I'd go to bed.

Surely taht would be impossible, I'm guessing you would also have a kingsize sugar-high.

My answer: the entire run of 'Taxi' shown back to back.

I was being sarcastic. I do like the soundtrack music and his other experimental music (like Joyeux Mutato), but I'll always prefer Devo by a country mile.

6.10pm The Simpsons (compilation of clips from Seasons 3 - 6)

This is why I like Charlie Rose. But only when he interviews entertainers and creative types. I hate to say it, but the foreign ambassadors and policy chiefs put me to sleep.

For actual "comfort" purposes I would need a significant amount of Gilmore Girls, Bob and Margaret, Dr. Katz, Sportsnight, Six Feet Under, and some light Buffy episodes.

bbbut, what about the morning after?

Also, I heartily second Gilmore Girls.

10:02 - Best of Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds.

11.00 - Countdown. An episode never before aired where an irate member of the audience, furious at both the contestants' and expert panel's inability to form the word 'clitoris' from the vowels and consonants provided by the lovely (thonged) Cathy, descends upon Giles Brandreth and sets fire to his patterned jumper - with him still wearing it. Richard Whiteley breaks out into a sweat and molests Carol Vorderman insisting that the answer is always '69'. A must-see.

11:25 - BBC News. Main report features the charred remains of Giles Brandreth and an interview with Ariel Sharon suggesting the Israeli government was behind it. The US advise 'containment' as opposed to retaliation from Hamas. Or Mrs Brandreth.

11.26- Weather - Michael Fish predicts an earthquake in Milton Keynes. Everyone laughs.

11:30 - Stingray. The Mysterons blow the goodies up and have group sex with Marina.

12:00 - Carry On Screaming.

13:30 - The Sweeney. Regan stays sober in this episode of the hard-hitting police series from the 1970s.

14:30 - Play School. Someone lobs a brick through the Square Window in this instalment featuring junior hooligans at play in South-East London.

15:00 - The Word. The Best Of. Another never-before seen edition of this cutting edge music prog from the early 90s. This one features invited guests repeatedly punching and kicking Terry Christian until he speaks proper English.

16:00 - Panorama. Best current affairs prog ever. Investigates the audience coup and demise of Giles Brandreth on Countdown and talks to witnesses who saw Osama bin-Laden sitting at the back of the auditorium comparing notes with Mossad.

17:00 - The Magic Roundabout Special. Feel the vibes in this eulogy to a stoned world. Grown-ups everywhere pay homage to a children's programme that inspired them to visit every coffee-house in Amsterdam once they reached adulthood.

18:00 - Holiday 2004. The BBC Travel Team seek out the best, out-of-the-way places for viewers seeking sun, culture and relaxation. This week: Ibiza. In an alleyway. With Tracey and Kylie. And some foam.

*Politically Correct 2 hour UK Comedy Bonanza Special*

18:30 - Love Thy Neighbour. Get out your calculator and count the words 'snowflake' and 'chocolate drop' (my personal best is 349) in this charming UK comedy.

19:00 - Rising Damp. Watch Rigsby try very hard to be pleasant to one of his foreign tenants. Miss Jones strips.

19:30 - Are You Being Served. Includes Mrs. Slocombe's pussy as you've never seen it before.

20:00 - Alf Garnett.

20:30 - Good Morning Britain. A little later than advertised as co-presenter Eamonn Holmes was asked to walk to work as part of a 'Britain Fight The Flab!' campaign the programme is promoting, and it took him 10 hours. He only lives a mile away. Anne and Nick offer to deputise but are told they're too 1980s. Anne responds angrily by getting pregnant for the 26th time.

22:00 - Top Gear. Marc Bolan's mini is rebuilt, reviewed and ultimately laughed at by Jeremy Clarkson. Cynthia Huntingdon-Smythe (or whatever her name is) celebrates the return of the Bubble Car and its association with the Rampant Rabbit on long journeys.

22:30 - Have I Got News For You. Classic satirical look at the week's events in the news from teams captained by Hislop and Merton with invited guests Muammar Gadhafi, Courtney Love, Des O'Connor and Roy Hattersley.
