What Are Your Favourite British Sitcoms?

Can't believe there is so little love for "Coupling"...

Does "People Like Us" count?

 

I think the first one I watched and loved was Peep Show.

 

The Misfits.

 

Coupling was excellent It was one of my favourite programs at the time it was transmitted, it used to have me in stitches, especially the exploits of the socially awkward Jeff

 

Yep, I already mentioned Coupling - very smart and funny and I just adore Sarah Alexander (who was also in The Worst Week of My Life).

 

Anyone remember 'Chef' with Lenny Henry? I recall liking that a lot then.

 

Bottom
The Young Ones
Blackadder ( The Third & Goes Forth)
Last of the Summer Wine
The League of Gentlemen

 

Situation based only...

1. Hippies
2. Black Adder
3. Ab Fab
4. Fawlty Towers
5. Red Dwarf

Honourable mentions to: Vicious
Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em (early series only)

Why why why didn't they make a second series of Hippies???

 

Bookay rrrresidence, laaady of the house speaking!

I could watch pretty much any scene that included Hyacinth and Onslow on an endless loop.

 

me too!

 

I forgot about her. She's amazing in that role.

Some more obscure ones I discovered via BBCA-mostly late 90s:

Green Wing
The Kumars at No. 42 (fake chat show)
Goodness Gracious Me

And I second Father Ted. Some gold in this clip.

 

It's hard to watch Father Ted and laugh though because the actor Dermot Morgan died a day after the last scene was shot for the last episode.

 

Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?
On The Buses
The Royle Family
The Office
Ideal
12 Stories High
Early Doors
Father Ted
Human Remains
Doctor In The House
George & Mildred
The Brittas Empire
The Smoking Room

 

Fawlty Towers
Man about the House
Mr.Bean
Are You Being Served?

 

Finally watching Absolutely Fabulous, just after a rewatch of Fawlty Towers for the first time since it was a TV program decades ago. Ab Fab seems a little thin compared with Fawlty Towers, but I'm hoping it will grow on me (only watched the first 6 episodes so far)

 

It may grow on you, but it's nowhere near in the same league as Farty Towels. Also, after a while, it becomes a little stagnant, especially the latter years.

 

I'm going down the thread thinking ... where's Chef ? What's wrong with these people ? Have they no sense of humor ?? Lenny Henry was out of control funny ! All the screaming, yelling cooking shows pale in comparison with Chef ! Once Blackstock gets started--watch out ! Well, rant over. Let me just add one word .......

SALT !

 

9 more disks to go. It may not be a Keeper set

 

Coupling
Fawlty Towers
Keeping up Appearances
Vicar of Dibley

 

Father Ted and Alan Partridge are my favourites. House of Fools, Reeves and Mortimer's twisted surreal take on the sitcom is probably my third…

 

Two of my favourites at the moment - Uncle and Cuckoo

 

Keep the faith!

 

Has anyone mentioned "Miranda" yet?
It got a bit repetitive after a while but there are hilarious moments in the first episodes.

 

I never thought I'd say this but Cuckoo has come on in leaps and bounds since Andy Samberg left. He's a great actor and I love him in Brooklyn 99, but Cuckoo is better without him!
