Coupling
Any of you UKers watch it? Or anybody for that matter? This show is hilarious. I just watched the first 3 seasons in less than a week (short seasons but still a lot of watching). Working my way through the 4th now.

For anyone that doesn't know, it's a sitcom, I guess it can be best compared to Friends, however aside from there being 6 characters who are friends (even that is debatable), the shows are drastically different. Also, Coupling is pretty much all about sex.

I must say, the 4th season, while still funny, is definitely lacking with the absence of Jeff. IMO he was the best character on the show. This Oliver dude isn't terrible but he's not that good either.

I heard the American version of this was an abomination. I guess that was to be expected. Glad I didn't watch it.

MI-5 (Spooks), Coupling, and The Office are all Brit shows I checked out simply out of curiosity and have been more than pleased with them all. Any other suggestions? How's Chef? It just came out here on DVD, I heard it's pretty funny. ANyone seen the vampire show Ultraviolet?

And shepherds we shall be,
for thee my lord for thee.
Power hath decended forth from thy hand
so our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
And we shall flow a river forth to thee
and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Yeah Coupling was good stuff. Geoff was the best thing about it though

*Giggle loop*

Funnily enough I tend to watch mostly American stuff but there's always older stuff you can track down to check out:

Father Ted
Black Books
Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge
I'm Alan Partridge (need to see KMKY first to really 'get' it but it works on it's own too)
The Day Today

I'm probably forgetting a ton but whatever

Yeah I'm a coupling fan. Didn't realy follow the fourth series cos the loss of Jeff really hit. Favourite episode probably either the Girl with two Breasts or The Man with Two Legs or whatever they are called. IE Jeff being the centre.

Checkout Brasseye if you can FUCKING amazing satire of the media today. Also just to back up MMM suggestion of the Alan Partridge stuff probably my fave comedies ever.

Brasseye's brilliant.

From the SEX edition of Brasseye, Chris Morris is talking to victims of sexual abuse)

Woman: My uncle abused me from the age of 4 up until the age of 60.
Chris: But it hasn't happened recently?
Woman: No
Chris: Good.

Actually did any of the UKers see that Channel 5 thing on funniest comedy sketches? Office survey with Keith came top. Brasseye's cake was 5th
