Best British Comedy?

i met Tony Robinson from blackadder the other month in Ottakers for a book signing-hes a really nice person!i think Father Ted is great aswell

 

you met tony robinson?!?!?! that's so great, i want to meet him he's so cool

 

I thought Red Dwarf was fantastic. Low budget, awful effects yet the energy was always present.

But indeed, Blackadder is probably the best.

 

My favorites are Red Dwarf and Goodnight Sweetheart. I did not like Black Adder.

 

Coupling was great

 

I didn't get where I am today by overlooking the fall and rise of reginald perrin...

 

I enjoy the Office.

 

God I miss England. Left when I was 18, Dec. 1975.
Would love to see some of these shows you're talking about. They would play more English programs over here in the states, if you people knew how to speak so yanks can, UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE SAYING!!!! Hell, I saw Trainspotting, and even I had a hard time understanding.

 

I can understand them most of the time....but Scouse+helium= What the fuck's he saying???

I absolutely love Bill Bailey, but as far as just television shows, I love Monkey Dust, Look Around You, Fawlty Towers, Anything Monty Python, Black Adder, and Keeping Up Appearances...

 

I like Monty Python, Hitchhiker's Guide and Discworld. Do they count as British Comedy?

 

That reminds me of a great old program from BBC2

Rab C. Nesbitt!

The Scottish accents in that were so strong, I think my dad was the only one in the family who had a clue what was going on. Great show, anyway

 

When i met Tony Robinson, i found out that he was surprisingly short!but hey,hes still great

 

nesbitt? scotland? james nesbitt and yellow pages. i used to think he was cute. lucky i changed my mind. he's too old anyway. ahem...


woo i met an elf guy with the most amazing eyes yesterday woop his pupils were huage and he's been in court for drink driving on a motorcycle though *gasp*...oh but his eyes mmm
