I thought that Coupling was an excellent show - vaguely Friends-like, but far more clever (could hardly be dumber i suppose)

Whilst not very recent, I loved Coupling.

Thirded, as said, very Friends like, but more adult in the subject matter.

All apart from the last series of coupling was excellent. I was also a fan of No Angels, very under rated humour.

Green Wing?

This. Consistently funny and a bit similar to Peep Show in terms of crazy situational comedy.

Not a sitcom, but Brasseye and Today's the Day are also awesome.

Coupling has my vote!

Someone woke this thread up. Well I have watched series 1 od Black Books, enjoying it so far.

Thanks for the mention of some ancient ones I remember watching as a boy! On the Buses - I'll get you Butler!!

Will have to look into coupling.

The advantage of the Channel 4 sitcoms is that they are all on 4OD, just a couple of adverts and away you go.

"oh Geoffery"

Wasn't the same once he left.

Another one for Coupling - Jeff is brilliant.

How about the classics like Blackadder, Bottom or Men Behaving Badly.

He was a legend! I've learnt a lot from him; the nudity buffer, the sock gap, the giggle loop and how not to dance in an office full of people.

Mother is always watching...

Women make the most basic mistakes...

It's a shame Moffat is now writting Dr Who, couplings would be so great if they brought jeff back...
