Fawlty Towers for sure.

Since you are limited to 30 choices in the poll, maybe you could re-do it in 'rounds', eg. Round 1 Red Dwarf etc... Round 2 Dad's Army etc... and then do a final poll of the highest vote getters.

Or maybe that's too hard and we should get back to drinking our beer. :hihi:

Amongst others you missed Pete Cook & Dud Moore, they were hilarious & outrages. Oh yes the Goons...... As a matter of fact the whole bl**dy list were as funny as.

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

I've come to like Balls of Steal, great real life skit type show

Basicly, the comics go out into public and do thier thing.
The Bunny Burner, Pain Men, The Annoying Devil, Big Gay Following to name a few.

A few linked below
Otherwise see it on Ch9 on Tuesdays at 2230 & Foxtel too.

one of my more recent favourites was Dead Ringers, only coz i enjoyed how well they did their impressions of people. But it helped to understand the show if you knew quite a bit about British politicians. and I.T. Crowd FTW!

What's the Rick Mayall one with Alan Bstard called ??? He's an MP or something...
the new statesman.
i think the poll should have been the worst british comedy, this list is to hard to choose from.
