'Dat you dere, Sheldon...."

Only just.....

Father Ted, Blackadder, The High Life, Porridge, Open All Hours. I remember loads, but looking back on them they weren't always very good - "No place like home" anyone?

Father Ted is a classic. I don't mind some of the episodes of Friends but that went on a bit too long. But others I like have already been mentioned apart from Phoenix Nights which is excellent

I forgot about that; it's excellent. Probably the first extremely popular series only to do a short run, too

There was a surreal one on channel 4 in the 80s called Chance in a Million, with Simon Callow and Brenda Blethyn that I really liked at the time.
I managed to get a tape of it off ebay a few years ago, and it didn't seem nearly as funny.
Another 80s C4 one was Chelmsford 123, with Rory Mcgrath, Jimmy Mulville and a few others from the earlier series Who Dares Wins.
It was a sort of Up Pompeii in Roman Britain.

Dare I suggest that I'm a little bored with Ricky Gervais? While Extra's isn't The Office, he still sets up his comedy in a similar way. [Mr Marx ducks]

Some good ones mentioned there in previous posts - I loved Spike Milligans Q8 especially. However, am I the only one that really loved Green Wing?

The IT Crowd which was on Channel 4 recently was very funny if like me you work in IT, a bit like Father Ted is probably funnier to Catholics (guilty again - but guilt is the mainstay of the Catholic church :wink: )

Also just released on DVD this week, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Deliberately bad, like Crossroads on acid!

I fucking love that programme! One Track Lover is hilarious. Oh, and Man To Man with Dean Learner is on tomorrow night (if I'm not mistaken), C4. Watch it!

You'd be suprised to know how much that lad gives away to various charities. I don't mean appearing on a high profile event, I mean actually putting his hand in his pocket and says nowt.
