ozzy85 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'm into British comedy. I just received a complete set of Black Adder and all the episodes of Bottom. (Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson.) If you liked the Young Ones you may like Bottom. Now to try to find Filthy Rich and Catflap. Good stuff, IMO. What are you guys into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowtothesky Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Favorite BBC TV shows: Monty Python, The Young Ones, The Comic Strip Presents, Trigger Happy TV, and World Shut your mouth. There are probably others, but this is all I could think of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE BOOSH!!!!! Vince and Howard are the bomb!!!! I also love The IT Crowd, even though it is on Channel 4 and not BBC. Jen: What did you have for breakfast this morning? Moss: Smarties Cereal. Jen: Oh my god, I didn't even know Smarties made a cereal. Moss: They don't, it's just Smarties in a bowl with milk.

Slaine mac Roth Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Although I enjoyed The Young Ones, I could never get my head around Filthy, Rich and Catflap or Bottom. Tell the truth, I've never been much for sitcom's. As for the ones I did find funny, high on the list has to be Spaced (a scene from which was the direct inspiration for Shaun of the Dead). Along with Red Dwarf and Dad's Army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerxster Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yeah, i remember the Young Ones... funny as hell. MP goes without saying. Benny Hill of course. Are You Being Served? has a lot of charm and good humour.. it's one of those shows like Seinfeld that you can watch again and again (thanks to PBS).
