The Day Today was some of the best TV ever.

 

[bledd]

New...

Phoneshop is good, just give it a chance as it looks forced at first, some real laugh out loud moments


Old..
Keeping Up Appearances, great classic British comedy

 

[Confused]

Men Behaving Badly
Game On

+ many of the others already suggested, pointless repeating.

 

[Hammer100]

There are some great ones here that havent seen for a while.
In case it hasnt already been posted another one for me is vicar of dibley

I'd never seen Coupling before.

And apparently I won't be checking it out after the clips posted.

Fawlty Towers is!

"Don't mention the War! I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it".

Whilst not very recent, I loved Coupling.

I second this... It's like friends but more risqué, adult, naughty. And extremely clever

Lovely Jubley.

Watched the one called 'Wanted' today, where Del winds up Rodney...cracked up when he refers to him as the 'Peckham pouncer'! lol

Being Human is excellent, an interesting take on the supernatural world with vampires, werewolves and ghosts. It sounds rubbish but it's actually pretty entertaining and funny. The acting and scripts are very good too, I definitely recommend it.

If you like the guy from the inbetweeners then check out Friday Night Dinner, some people don't find it funny but I find it quite amusing .

not at all what your after but ive recently gotten well into the american version of the office and its so much better than the uk one that its silly.

Not your cup of tea? It was great back in the day.

Did they edit it? I didn't know.

Haha, I watched all 7 series last week while doing my project, was a laugh. A lot of them are on Youtube too for when I don't have the DVDs about.

Ignoring the classics I'd recommend:

-No Angels
-This Life (not strictly speaking a sitcom but it has some extremely witty writing)
-Game On (I've a horrible feeling it won't seem as funny now, but Samantha Janus looks the business at least...)

 

[OzyOly]

'This Life' takes me back. The only show you could watch and feel sea sick because of all the panning.

 

[IceBus]

-Game On (I've a horrible feeling it won't seem as funny now, but Samantha Janus looks the business at least...)

Funnily enough was going to recommend this myself, but then was worried it wouldn't hold up well on repeat viewings. I still remember the episode where Matt has to leave the apartment because he thinks a girl is going to commit suicide, and takes his surfboard with him.

 

[coltpython3]

scrap all of those and go watch only fools and horses!
