So, Best British Sitcom?
We quite rightly didn't include them in the thread similar to this - but what do you - UK-based or otherwise - consider the UK's best Sitcom?

Another 'Only Fools' victory, perhchance?

I've only seen The Office, Coupling, and Chef. A few episodes from other stuff like Are You Being Served and AbFab...

And I've seen Extras if you'd count that.

Out of those I'd go with The Office.

Only Fools and Horses was awesome, Blackadder had a couple of fantastic series, The Royel Family is worth a mention.

Faulty Towers takes the cake.

Only Fools and horses is pretty special.

Red Dwarf is awesome.

Wouldn't count the Office as a sitcom.....I don't think....or do I?.....I haven't thought this through properly, I shall return with a better answer.

Or not!

I still think the background line in Pheonix Nights on the tv in the club along the lines of "Crime Time coming up right after 'An Evening With Jockey Wilson' " is one of the greatest things ever written

Red Dwarf or Blackadder.

I used to think Coupling was great, then I watched an episode a few weeks ago and it just seemed so slow and predicitble.

The Office was alright, but a tad :meh: in places. Never really got why Only Fools is so hyped either.

If Peep Show can just create a couple more series like the last one, then I think it will be remembered as one of the greatest ever.

The IT Crowd - I've never laughed so much in my life. This show is amazing.
The Mighty Boosh - The shows are a bit hit-or-miss, but the live show is brilliant.

Also The Day Today. Chris Morris and Steve Coogan are awesome.

Not really a situation comedy though

But when Morris when C4 and all out, nothing and i mean NOTHING beats Brass Eye

That Pedo episode was amazing, all the outrage just made me love it even more

There have been some amazing UK sitcoms, so it is hard to choose but on a scale of quality vs longevity, Only Fools and Horses wins out.

Perfect blend of brilliant comic situations, inspired writing, tremendous characters, superb performances (especially from David Jason as Del Trotter), strong supporting characters, great on-screen chemistry, witty banter and the right blend of drama and pathos at exactly the right time... nothing can touch it on the whole. The only slight negative is that the most recent trilogy, the shows finale (filmed in 2001, but aired on Christmas day over a three year period until 2003), seemed a bit dated as though writer John Sullivan had lost touch in the time it had been off-air.

Still, a timeless classic.

Blackadder? Series 2 and 4 were brilliant, but 3 was weak and 1 was fucking piss poor. How could that be the best British sitcom ever, when it is so inconsistant?

I'm not arguing with your opinion if it was your favourite ever, but you'd be hard pressed to say it's the best "by a long shot".
