So, we've been discussing the Office and 'Allo 'Allo recently, but I'd like to know what your favourite British Comedy Series is, out of the ten listed above. As always, please post after voting to a) explain your choice and b) initiate a new discussion!
Enjoy!

OK - as much as I love the Office, Men Behaving Badly and Blackadder, Little Britain gets my vote. It's catchphrases are so memorable. 'But I'm a lady, I do ladies things' for example. Fried gold!

I am disgusted by the lack of Spaced love in this list.

Likewise, I think it should've been included, but as much as I love it I don't think it's the best.
Dunno can't make my mind up.

Very bloody close between Faulty Towers and Black Adder. I went with Black Adder, now I wish I'd voted Faulty Towers :(

british comedy is men running around in women's underwear.
Where the hell is Father Ted and Partridge.
Also the Vicar of Dibley are you taking the piss sir?

LB isn't established enough IMO to be considered a classic british comedy yet.
Blackadder gets my vote out of that list

The thread isn't called classic British comedy. Obviously Little Britain hasn't been around enough to be considered a classic, I put it on the list given its current popularity (or so I thought, I appear to be the only one who voted for it!).
As for the abscence of My Hero, Bottom and others, I made the list out of the ones I have watched on a regular basis. Over the last 18 months, I haven't been in the UK long enough to catch a lot of the newer programmes, and I have only seen the odd ep from the other series in the past :$. I hope that clears things up :D. Keep the votes coming! I strongly suspect that 'None of the above' will win this poll though ...

I put Red Dwarf, only because I watched it a bit way back when I was a kid, I don't remember much of it, only that I would change the channel if it came on, lol.

^Red dwarf has started up again from the beginning on ukgold2 if your interested mate, they'll be onto the 3rd one next, its reminded me of why i loved watching that programme.Its really hard to choose between only fools and horses, men behaving badly and red dwarf, but ill go with red dwarf cos Craig Charles rules!

Oh come on! American stuff is good, but does not beat British comedy! Compare Will & Grace with Dad's Army (which I now realise I didn't put on the list and I'm embarrassed how I could have left it out) or Blackadder? No? You can't, because there is no comparison...

I like American and British Comedy (I'm British). I don't think either is better than the other. Anyway, Only Fools and Horses wins by a mile IMO.

Friends is the only really good American comedy show I've seen. There's some great writing in the states, but most American comedy makes my brain want to hang itself.
Went for Red Dwarf, it wasn't as well crafted as shows like Fawlty Towers or Blackadder, but when you consider that there were (i think) 9 series plus a planned movie you gotta be impressed with the consistancy of the material...except for the seriese without Chris Barrie, that was a bit duff.

Anyway, I voted blackadder. Huge Fawlty Towers fan though.

British comedy sucks the fattest cock on the face of the earth. I would have voted for that spot, except Will and Grace and Friends suck just as much cock. God. No place for me to vote. :(
