On a lighter note, best comedy to watch?

[Profpointy]

Phoenix Nights.

That's not a sitcom, it's a documentary. My in-laws go to a very similar club

 

[Lullabelle]

Yes Minsiter and Yes Prime minister , a work of genius.

. Best ever and funnily enough still relevant today.

 

[Lullabelle]

The Day Today.
Brass Eye.

 

[Drago]

Police Squad and the Naked Gun films. Leslie Nielsen's deadpan ignorance of the chaos going on around him is just priceless.

2012 - the mocumentary about preparing for the 2012 olympics. I could hardly breath for laughing at a couple of the episodes. Outstanding cast including Hugh Bolimore and Olivia Colman. It's a prequel to W1A which someone mentioned above but I've not seen

The Thick of It - arguably the Yes Minister of our day, with the very sweary Malcolm Tucker as the monstrous central character

And for something very quirky and funny - Look Around You, which brilliantly parodies those schools science programs we saw as kids.

Black Books.
Coupling was good at the time. I havent gone back to see if it still holds up

I used to like Hyperdrive. It seems to have been a minority opinion.

I stumbled across Detectorists recently. So far, I have enjoyed the first few episodes of series 1.

 

[Nigeyy]

Oh yes! I'm going to have to watch that!

Police Squad and the Naked Gun films. Leslie Nielsen's deadpan ignorance of the chaos going on around him is just priceless.

If films are allowed, try "Best in Show", a piss-take of dog shows.

I recently discovered This Country.... it's a slow burner, but very authentic.

Started watching this with Mrs Siadwell the other night and it was too slow burning for her to stick with. Bits of it really made me chuckle though - "I got enemies in South Cerney..."

Task Master on Dave is very funny.

House of Fools is good if you like Reeves and Mortimer.

Could be the most enjoyable program of the last 10 years. Not purely as comedy, but the general … *feel*. Even the theme music is perfect!

It's nearest competitor - with a very different tone - has to be Catastrophe.

House of Fools is bang on, I had them all saved on my Virgin box, it was a sad day when I cancelled and they asked for the box back.
