I'm just curious about this, the BBC over the years have produced some absolutely fantastic comedys and i'm just wondering as to what peoples favorite BBC comedy is.
For me it has to be not the nine o clock news, absolutely fantastic program, so damn funny, always has laughing so much, rowan atkinson at his best imo.
anyway, whats your favorite BBC comedy? ;D

Oooh! Tooo many!!!!
Either that or 'Ianucci's Charm Offensive' also on radio 4, its a shame they cut out the rape gags, they were really funny.
Definatly the cleverest comedy the BBC has produced, mayde Blackadder is funnier, or the Young Ones that was good.
Have you seen 'My Life in Film' it has him in and its much better.
I missed that. What is it like Thundesrtruck. My acting friend Fraser Ayre's was in it. He does lots of bits and pieces for teh BBC - like an Incare two-parter with Billy Piper where he played this boy who kinda hater because he couldn't have her, so was always grassing her up and getting her into trouble.
One foot in the grave BBC1 is mine but really I find BBC so unfunny...apart from Gimme Gimme Gimme BBC2.
Channel4 is far better for comedy - Bremner, Bird and Fortune and Green Wing - my life's on hold until that programme gets recomissioned. Hurry up C4!! :hyper:
Sir Humphrey: "You know what happens: nice young lady comes up to you. Obviously you want to create a good impression, you don't want to look a fool, do you? So she starts asking you some questions: Mr. Woolley, are you worried about the number of young people without jobs?"
Bernard Woolley: "Yes"
Sir Humphrey: "Are you worried about the rise in crime among teenagers?"
Bernard Woolley: "Yes"
Sir Humphrey: "Do you think there is a lack of discipline in our Comprehensive schools?"
Bernard Woolley: "Yes"
Sir Humphrey: "Do you think young people welcome some authority and leadership in their lives?"
Bernard Woolley: "Yes"
Sir Humphrey: "Do you think they respond to a challenge?"
Bernard Woolley: "Yes"
Sir Humphrey: "Would you be in favour of reintroducing National Service?"
Bernard Woolley: "Oh...well, I suppose I might be."
Sir Humphrey: "Yes or no?"
Bernard Woolley: "Yes"
Sir Humphrey: "Of course you would, Bernard. After all you told you can't say no to that. So they don't mention the first five questions and they publish the last one."
Bernard Woolley: "Is that really what they do?"
Sir Humphrey: "Well, not the reputable ones no, but there aren't many of those. So alternatively the young lady can get the opposite result."
Bernard Woolley: "How?"
Sir Humphrey: "Mr. Woolley, are you worried about the danger of war?"
Bernard Woolley: "Yes"
Sir Humphrey: "Are you worried about the growth of armaments?"
Bernard Woolley: "Yes"
Sir Humphrey: "Do you think there is a danger in giving young people guns and teaching them how to kill?"
Bernard Woolley: "Yes"
Sir Humphrey: "Do you think it is wrong to force people to take up arms against their will?"
Bernard Woolley: "Yes"
Sir Humphrey: "Would you oppose the reintroduction of National Service?"
Bernard Woolley: "Yes"
Sir Humphrey: "There you are, you see Bernard. The perfect balanced sample."
Thats not really a quote. A bit long for a quote.
Two Pints of Lager (which is having its sixth series shot soon YIPPEE after out rating little britain)
Ok rant over.
cant wait for the partridge movie.
I'm not sure if I prefer C4.... Black Books, Pheonix Nights, Max & Paddy, Garth Marenghi's Dark Place and Green Wing were good... but I hate all those comedy game-shows/chat-shows they keep booking, like 8 Out of 10 Cats and Balls of Steel. Or that one with Jimmy Carr not so long ago. I just switch them off.
OMG nearly forgot The Mighty Boosh. Now thats a winner.
I'll watch Only Fools and Horses, My Family, The Office, Two pints..
Not much of it really. I've never really been into stuff like fawlty towers, black adder etc.
Oooo and when I'm at my most bored, " Last of the summer wine"
Lol.
I also enjoyed Extras and Catherine Tate.
Going back a few years... I'm Alan Partridge, Only Fools and Horses and Not the Nine O'clock news.
I'd say the best has been the League of Gentlemen, series one and two particularly.
I think the first couple were funny, the most recient one with the crew reinstated on the ship was painfully unfunny.
The one where theres the emotion sucking monster, was the funniest when Rimmer gets his anger removed and Lister his fear.
