What TV comedy do you like?

The first series of Blackadder was worth it just for Brian Blessed as Richard IV.

Detectorists should have been on my list above,

Same here, I only just discovered it six months ago.

I love all the old ones that everyone has mentioned.
More modern ones I like are Fleabag & Not going out.
I also like the comedy quiz show ‘would I lie to you’.

 

[screenman]

Political broadcast, or are they just a joke?

Dave Allen

Yup, I forgot him. I wish I could find the firing squad sketch on You Tube.

Watched a few episodes of Corrie recently - bit of nostalgia really. Episode from the early 80's had Annie Walker buying a painting, and displaying it proudly. She thought it was by an unknown genius, not realising it was in fact done by Hilda Ogden, the pub cleaner.
Comedy gold it was back then, in the guise of a soap opera.
Hilda and Stan, Jack and Vera, Eddie Yeats, Fred Gee - great actors and definitely comical storytelling.

When I was working for a German company the German manager for the UK absolutely loved it. He understood the jokes in the language and characterisations of the Germans.
