British Comedy Shows

[SeinDude]

What is everyone's favourite British Comedy tv shows??

For me, it has to be Blackadder, starring Rowan Atkinson, That show is a crack up with Baldrick being so stupid and Edmund Blackadder trying to to as little work as possible.

Other good shows I like are Mr Bean, Fawlty Towers, Allo Allo, The Thin Blue Line and Keeping Up Appearances (it's Hyacynth Bucket, pronounced "Bouquet")

I'm sure there's many many more that I've forgotton, but what is everyone's favourite??

Cheers!!

Bottom Live 2001 - An Arse Oddity should be coming out in australia soon. Can't wait for it

 

[The Power Guy]

Yeah Mr Bean was a classic, but then so are so many british comedies.

 

[jefffff34]

Fawlty Towers is by a mile. Pity they only made 13 episodes.

i voted for Fawlty Towers. also love Monty Pythons flying circus and Are u being served? Mr Humphries was a classic

 

[dees01]

I love Keeping up Appearances. I can watch that over and over again. The same with Fawlty Towers.

 

[clucas91]

Bottom is great, Mayall and Edmonson are great, however I voted for Blackadder, great stuff.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Fawlty Towers by a mile, but then I probably am biassed!!

By the way, don't mention the war!! I almost did before, but I think I got away with it!!

Red Dwarf by a mile...A RD movie is being made in July.

 

[JUBJUB]

Drop The Dead Donkey & Home To Roost are 2 of the best British comedies.

 

[Asgardian]

All of the ones mentioned so far, plus a few more such as "Open All Hours" with Ronnie Barker, "Till Death Us Do Part" with Warren Mitchell, "Absolutely Fabulous", "Hancock's Half Hour", "Steptoe and Son", and "The Young Ones"

I can't split my favourite between Blackadder, Fawlty Towers and Yes Minister

Woohoo!!!

My top 5:
1. Red Dwarf
2. Monty Python's Flying Circus
3. Fawlty Towers
4. The Young Ones
5. Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister

For me it wouldhave to be The Vika of Dibley, also use to love watching 'Are You Being Served?'

Mr Bean and the Young Ones also rate pretty highly!

 

[SydneyBomber]

BlackAdder ever so slightly in front of Yes Prime/Minister.

Own the scripts of both - hilarious reading.

I always thought Yes Minister was funny, but it wasn't until I worked in the public service for awhile that I realised how horrifyingly accurate that show was!
I swear to god I've met so many Australian versions of Sir Humphrey in the public service that it's scary!

 

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

I love Fawlty Towers.
Absoluetly legendary stuff.

John Clesse was such a perferctionist that he did each take around 20-50 times to get it just right, and also just made 12 or 13 episodes due to that perfection.

 

[sapaul]

No "the Royle Family" or "Some mothers do ave em"?Definitely Fawlty Towers out of all of them.

 

[NYMets]

I loved the Goodies.
and the Good Life.
