[Video] British Sitcoms

[Merin Redplate]

Well, have at 'er.
What British sitcoms do you like?

Personally, apart from The Flying Circus, I like Porridge and Open All Hours. (Ronnie Barker's a dreamer )

YouTube - Fletcher knows best - Porridge - BBC classic comedy

How could you forget Fawlty Towers!!!!

YouTube - Fawlty Towers - Don't mention the war.mpg

Allo' Allo'
Blackadder

black adder, red dwarf, fawlty towers, monthy pyton are all glorious.

 

[Harb]

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Blackadder, Yes Minister, Red Dwarf, Bottom, The New Statesman, Nathan Barley

YouTube - Rise of the Idiots

YouTube - Bottom - Common Decency Speech (season 3, episode 1)

Only fools and horses, just good friends, sorry (ronnie corbett), keep up appearances

these were a few of my favourites back in the 80's

 

[The Masta]

YouTube - Nicola Murray Meets Malcolm Tucker in The Thick Of It

The thick of it.

 

[Snuffeldjuret]

I'd like to add "Black Books" and "The IT Crowd" to the previously mentioned =).

Mighty Boosh, Peep Show

python was a comedy sketch show - but for that format i'd add 'a bit of fry an laurie' (my fav) and 'Kenny everett show' (groundbreaking)

sitcoms-
dad's army
the fall and rise of reginald perrin
young ones (very dated now)
ever decreasing circles (underrated and forgotten)
hot metal (no-one seems to have heard of this)
any and all alan partridge
peep show

I thought Black adder's best series was the 2nd.
For me fawlty towers is prob the greatest ever; helped by being a short 2 series run. (I thought though often brilliant fools and horses went on too long)

I thought Black adder's best series was the 2nd.

Goes Forth was my favourite, probably only bcause of Stephen Fry as Gen. Melchett.

My list would be

Blackadder (Any and all)
IT Crowd (Moss!)
Fawlty Towers
The Young Ones
Goodies (Goody Goody Yum Yum!)
Those are my best ones.

 

[<animal>INSTINCT]

My top three have to be The Young Ones, Red Dwarf, and Blackadder.

"This calls for for a very special blend of psychology... and extreme violence" Absolutely classic and absolutely PUNK ROCK!

Alright, you caught me.

 

[Lt_Kettch]

How Not To live Your Life and Coupling

 

[dogbadger]

Goes Forth was my favourite, probably only bcause of Stephen Fry as Gen. Melchett..

My fav episode in 3 was him as Wellington battering the crap outta the prince regent (who'd swapped characters with blackadder)
The dopy look on Hugh's face as he keeps getting up is priceless.

poor hugh

I like 2 best because i think it had the strongest selection of regular characters, was freshest as it introduced elton's writing and the era yealded interesting stories and was ideal to poke fun at.

 

[gautrek]

What about
Spaced
Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps
Men behaving badly.

These three have to be the funniest fairly current sit coms.

 

[Shadrach]

All of the above, I love british comedy!

I absolutely loved Green Wing too, but can't seem to find anyone else who like or even know of it around here... Guess I like my humour a bit on the absurd side. Also why I love the Boosh I guess, which Nestors incessant posting of made me notice, thanks for that.

YouTube - Greenwing - Guy with kitten

LOL @ Guy's geordie accent...
