Title: british comedy Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, 22:00:41 top 3 british tv comedies ever please?
i'm thinking along the lines of: father ted shooting stars partridge phoenix nights office fawlty towers buzzcocks garth marenghi monkey dust have i got news for you but i'll wait a bit to give my final three Title: british comedy Post by: STFC_Chris on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, 22:13:23 Very difficult to choose, there are so many good british comedies. But after some careful thought my three are:
1. Fawlty towers (By far the best comedy series I have seen) 8) 2. The Office 3. Alan Partridge Title: british comedy Post by: Whits on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, 22:16:42 1. fawtly towers
2. Monty python 3. Office i think not 100% sure on 3rd to be honest!! Title: british comedy Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, 22:33:53 The ones I like best are:
1. peep show 2. that peter kay thing 3. the day today those would also be the top three in the world. Peep show really is that good but there are loads of contenders Phoenix Nights, Father Ted, alan partridge, knowing me knowing you, brass eye, the office, jam, fawlty towers and monty python are all up there. The Armstrong and Miller show is a cult classic. This morning with richard not judy was good too. There are a couple of episodes of coupling that are very funny too (there's one about jeff having too many legs that is genius) but it's gone a bit shit now Jeff isn't in it anymore. Basically Jeff was fucking funny, the rest are average. The last couple of episodes of green wing were class as well. I think I've forgotten loads.

Title: british comedy Post by: Turbo on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, 23:04:18 1.) The Ofiice
2.) Coupling (Not on LIst) 3.) Only Fools & Horses (Not On List) Title: british comedy Post by: Johno on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, 23:14:36 not in order but:
Phoenix Nights Only Fools and Horses Vicar of Dibely (not on list) Thin blue line (good old rowan atkinson! :P ) Title: british comedy Post by: Boeta on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, 23:32:51 Vicar of Dibley?! That wasn't comedy.
Top 5 for me (not in order) are Only Fools and Horses, The Office, Fawlty Towers, Phoenix Nights, Father Ted. I'll have to give it some thought to bring it down to three and get it in order. Title: british comedy Post by: Johno on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, 23:34:12 yeh but i don't have much of a sense of humour, so its a comedy!
i've never got to grips with the office, just don't find it funny. Title: british comedy Post by: Anonymous on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, 23:45:49 You rent boys are you forgetting Black adder goes forth oh dear me!
Title: british comedy Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, 23:55:10 lads, i know blinkdumbass started the trend, but your choices don't have to be on my "list" and you don't have to say if they're not. i was merely reeling some suggestions off the top of my head.
Title: british comedy Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, December 29, 2004, 00:52:24 1.Phoenix Nights
2.Alan Partridge 3.Open All Hours Father Ted just misses out, but gets a nod because it's an all time classic. Red Dwarf made me split my organs out of my sides years back but has not aged as well as the others and loses points for the last couple of series which where utter shite and stained the brand. On The Buses also deserves a mention, although it was recently labelled the worst example of British Comedy ever, I still love it. Title: british comedy Post by: blinkpip on Wednesday, December 29, 2004, 09:31:37 Youre list sucks!
Title: british comedy Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, December 29, 2004, 10:05:35 Monty Python's Flying Circus
The Day Today I'm Alan Partridge Honourable mentions go out to Brasseye, Knowing Me Knowing You, Father Ted, Peep Show, That Peter Kay Thing and many others I've forgotten. Title: british comedy Post by: DMR on Wednesday, December 29, 2004, 11:34:08 Phoenix Nights
Little Britain I'm Alan Partridge Title: british comedy Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Sunday, January 2, 2005, 18:56:43 I forgot Borat it is niiiiice, I like yes yakshemash.
