September 13, 200916 yr Black BooksI'm Alan Partridge Brass Eye Spaced Peep Show i'll second this, the latter three are particularly excellent. if you can handle sketch shows, can i also reccomend big train? the first series had me in tears at times.
September 13, 200916 yr I agree with IT crowd excellent also a scottish comedy called "Still Game" is one of the best i have seen, it's about a group of pensioners I highly recommend it !!
September 13, 200916 yr It hasn't got a mention, yet it must be the greatest analysis in comedy format of the British people in the last 15 years: 'Monkey Dust'. It was on BBC3 for several seasons until the creator died. It won vast numbers of awards and gained a cult following for the way it dissected in a cartoon aniamtion format the msot pressing and awkward issues of the day. There was for example the inept paedophile sketch, the always failing Muslim bomber with the Brummy accent, the boring accountant reciting movie plots to his wife to escape his drab (i.e. British) life, the middle class post modernist lefties... and so on. Astonishing. Goes well with 'Brass Eye'.
September 13, 200916 yr Happened to see 2 seasons of the series Gavin & Stacy. Really liked it. Very funny. Too bad, as far as I understand, they will only make a 3rd season and then stop.
September 14, 200916 yr ohh u have just made me a little homesick again most have been mentioned but hey, here they are again... gavin and stacey i just love it peep show - fab pulling, not sure if its still running but great stuff, teachers is quite funny shameless the office not really a comedy series as such but the UK version of the apprentice with sir alan sugar had me in stitches sometimes and i was hooked, and dragons den was good too just a snapshot of my favourites so many others i would love to see, allthough seem to find them....ah what id give for iplayer and 4OD to work boohooo
September 15, 200916 yr Pulling How Not to Live your Life Peep Show Inbetweeners Outnumbered Office Extras Nathan Barley
September 15, 200916 yr If you like domestic comedy with children ,"OUTNUMBERED" is unbeatable ! And sadly too true to life
September 15, 200916 yr Get the box sets of Shameless one of the bars I went into used to show an episode a night went down well with a few beers.
October 12, 200916 yr I've just started watching Psychoville, from the writers of League of Gentlemen. Very funny and very disturbing.
October 12, 200916 yr the only genuinely funny series i can think of is " have i got news for you". the american series of cheers and frasier pretty unbeatable too.
October 14, 200916 yr Maany good shows Notice few of the most popular on ist Citizen Smith Wimbeldon Poisoner both Robert Lindsay Morecambe and Wise not sure if on net must be a video? Fools and Horses They think it all over comedy quiz format Ant and Dec Reeves and mortimer Sykes Porridge Open all hours Ali G Kath and Kim (oz based suburban cringe v funny if you seen Melbourne life) also on net Not the 9 o'clock news Monty Python Fawlty Towers From USA Happy Days M*A*S*H* Frasier Larry Sanders Show (Gary Shandlings spoof chat show a sort of Alan Partridge in LA)
October 23, 200916 yr The IT Crowd Peep Show (actually anything that David Mitchell is involved) Have I Got News For You? Mock the Week, though it might not be as good now that Frankie has left the show.
October 23, 200916 yr You can you tube a show called 'Pefect World' with Paul Kaye aka Dennis Pennis working in an advertising agency. That was funny' Also check out his Mike Strutt show on MTV.
October 23, 200916 yr Absolutely Fabulous If anyone is interested in an exchange of DVD's I'm very interested, some of the series mentioned here are superb - although not comedy I'm keen to get my hands on Spooks.
