BBC Comedies

[A7ce]

Hi,

Don't know if any UK based people caught a bit of this but 2nite we had the culmination of the top 50 british comedies of all times as voted by the viewers.

The poll began last summer and over the last 10 weeks there have been slots for comedies in the top ten.

However Red Dwarf came in at no. 18, beating the Office.


No.1 was Only Fools and horses, No.2 was Blackadder, no.5 was fawlty towers. I think the other Chris Barrie starrer Brittas was no. 47/48

Disgraceful that the office beat Brittas when Brittas was sort of mother to David brent. Watching the office recently, I saw how much he was like brittas. But Brittas is much better. ;D

the bbc will soon be showing a series called comedy connections which will feature a show all about red dwarf with interviews from cast and crew

Will it? Cool! See the whole top 100 of Britain's Best Sitcom:

If I'm not mistaken, the top 10 turned out like this:-
1 Only Fools And Horses
2 Blackadder
3 Vicar Of Dibbley
4 Dad's Army
5 Fawlty Towers
6 Yes Minister
7 Porridge
8 Open All Hours
9 The Good Life
10 One Foot In The Grave

I was very surprised that Vicar Of Dibbley was so high, I think it's very overrated....

Cool position for Red Dwarf at number 18!

Only Fools... and Dad's Army are also realy overrated.
