Just underneath are Fawlty Towers, Blackadder Goes Fourth, Inbetweeners, Peep Show and The Thick of It. Highly underrated is Saxondale. Worth watching if you haven't seen it. Coogan at his best. It's funny how some last the test of time and other don't. I used to think Men Behaving Badly was the best thing ever. It has aged worse than Leslie Ash! Game On as well as @lapal_fan says. Haven't seen it in a while but doubt it has aged and you would struggle to get away with the content now. Also a big fan of the sketch shows from that era - Harry Enfield and Chums and The Fast Show. Fuuu.... i forgot Saxondale!!!! "Anthromorphology.. what's your opinion on it?" "Nope.. I've got a blind spot bigger than the Ghobi Desert here.." "Snorting lines of the devil's dandruff" I absolutely love it and it's SO underrated!! Edited February 24, 2018 by blandy swear 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot Pheonix Nights, Father Ted, The Day Today, People Like Us, W1A...and probably some more. For shame I’ve only watched Father Ted of those you’ve mentioned off course i did forget Not the nine o’clock news from my list , great topical humour , which might make it dated now ? I doubt someone now would understand the Hand built by Roberts gag without being familiar with the original advert for example Edited February 24, 2018 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Agree with most of what’s already been suggested but will chuck Uncle into the mix. a terrifically funny comedy that didn’t drop in quality for all three seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand-up: Billy Connolly... (struggling to think of any others) Extended format: The Comic Strip Presents... Whose Line is it Anyway is a great show. controversially I much prefer the American version though, the run where Drew Carey was the host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted February 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Scrolling through the suggestions so far, my hitcount reads: Ones where I saw one episode or less, and didn't like: Red Dwarf The Office Anything with Vic and Bob Only Fools and Horses The Detectorists Yes Minister The New Statesman Ones I've never seen at all: Spaced The I.T. Crowd Black Books Garth Marenghi's Darkplace Game On Inbetweeners Mighty Boosh Two Pints of Lager The Thick of It Saxondale Phoenix Nights League of Gentlemen People Like Us W1A Gavin and Stacey Max & Paddy's Road To Nowhere Fresh Meat Early Doors The Thin Blue Line Bo Selecta EDIT: This isn't a generational thing, either. I never liked Steptoe, Porridge, all that lot. Edited February 24, 2018 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, you'll probably think it's a parody of the 24 hour news channels of right now. Thing is it is donkey's years old now. So far sighted and very funny. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 @mjmooney Off your 'never seen' list I would definitely recommend checking out the IT crowd and Black Books in particular. I thought it was quite telling that 3 of my Top Ten are written by Graham Linehan (of Father Ted fame). I'm surprised no ones mentioned Brass Eye yet.

I'm sure they're good (I did like Father Ted), but it just seems like a waste of time watching TV comedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
