Loved it at the time (i.e. when I was eight or nine), but it probably hasn't aged well.
The scene I do remember is the final episode, where Wolfie gets hold of a tank and is driving it over Westminster Bridge to take over parliament.
I also own a 'Freedom For Tooting' t-shirt.

Any TV series that gives airtime to Peter Vaughn is fine by me.
I seem to recall that Citizen Smith had quite a formative effect on our little group in the last year of primary school. I particularly remember attempting to unionise the rest of the pupils by carrying banners around the playground which read "Children's Union - No Teachers!"

A very good cast dishing up some fine character performances (particularly by the aforementioned Vaughan and Hilda Braid as the parents), but I personally was never a huge fan of Citizen Smith.
As an inhabitant of Balham, 'freedom from Tooting' feels more appropriate these days...

Remember thinking it had some similarities with "Only Fools & Horses" e.g. set in South London, the diverse characters who were friends of the main character etc., then saw there was actually an episode of Citizen Smith called "Only Fools & Horses". (Season 3 if I remember rightly).

They showed an episode on BBC2 a few weeks ago when John Sullivan died. I remember enjoying it when originally broadcast, but now it does seem awfully slow. One idea that I remember liking was that everyone called him buy a different name - Wolfie, Foxy, Yeti etc.

My favourite episode of 'Citizen Smith' was when they try to kidnap a major industrialist. There is a bit where they are about to phone up the police to broadcast their demands and Wolfie asks Tucker to give the operation a name so the police will take them seriously and Tucker suggests Operation Meat Pie.
I have no idea why I found that so funny though. It's not funny written down.
