Well... Why not? Seeing as Red Dwarf is a fantastic UK show, I figured I may as well start something about other great shows These are my stand out favourites: Red Dwarf (of course ) Black Books Black Adder Fun at the Funeral Parlour Men Behaving Badly The Goodies The Fast Show ...and let's not forget the cartoons Banana Man Dangermouse Count Duckula ;D Anyone else like any of these shows? Or others, even?

I like practically all of those, I haven't seen Black Books or Fun at the Funeral Parlour though. I'm trying to think of more cartoons...there's Postman Pat but that's not a cartoon. I used to love that program. How about Fraggle Rock? That was cool ;D Oooo...I've thought of some! Shooting Stars! Now that is one hilarious show! Two of my favourites comedians; Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. And Baddiel and Skinner, I love them too! I know, Bottom!! LOL! That's hilarious too! Rik Mayal, LMAO! And The Royle Family, that's reeeeally good ;D

LOL Rik Mayall! He's so cool ;D The Young Ones is pretty funny I like Alexei Sayle, he cracks me up And The Goodies! I forgot to put them on there! How could I forget them ;D I think Black Books and Fun at the Funeral Parlour are sort of, "underground", like not a lot is known about them at all. Specially "Funeral Parlour"... I found out about that from my b/f, coz it was on cable here in Oz, and he latched onto it (Welsh comedy, it's pretty funny, hehe - off the wall but cool). Black Books is out on DVD so it's probably a little more well known... Check them out if you can find them, they're cool ;D

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the BBC comedy Coupling.
It is the funniest thing I have seen in the last 4 years

Hey! Friends is funny! Though not British, which is always best. We've go Britain's Best Sitcom running at the mo. Red Dwarf's at 18. I don't know, out of the top 10, which to vote for: Blackadder Dad's Army Only Fools and Horses Open All Hours Faulty Towers One Foot in The Grave The Good Life Yes Minister Porridge The Vicar of Dibley www.bbc.co.uk/sitcom/www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/r/reddwarf_7775370.shtmlWhen I voted on the poll near the bottom, I got a small, but pleasant surprise when reading the results.

Red Dwarf: (I need not say any more, as it speaks for itself.
Father Ted: (Can I call this a UK TV show since I think it may be Irish made? For arguments sake, I'll include it. Funny as hell!)
Knightmare: (Anyone remember this? An 80s kids TV show. The challenger wore a big helmet with horns and he/she couldn't see as it covered their eyes. Their team mates had to guide them through the dungeons and into wells and stuff to move into different areas)

Another two TV shows which are absolute class are Chewin' The Fat and Still Game. I dunno if there are only available in Scotland though. Still can be called a British comedy and one of the very few good things about TV recently.
