Americans have Texas

In no particular order - Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder, Monty Python and Coupling... Probably Blackadder is my favourite.

(Blackadder on Germans): However, their Teutonic reputation for brutality is well deserved. Their operas last three or four days and they have no word for "fluffy".

While we're on the subject of Blackadder, I heard there may be a fifth season. Any truth to that or just a rumour?

Never heard of that. I'd be glad though!

My personal favourites include the Vicar of Dibley, Live at the Apollo (they killed Jack Dee off after the 2nd Series replacing him with guest hosts - much more varied) and Mock the Week (sample, but be warned, although this is clean, others are not).

Best comedians include Alan Carr, Michael MacIntyre and Frankie Boyle (the scot on Mock the Week - none of them are really clean enough to post here). Jo Brand is fantastic too - she's also showed her fantastic dancing ability off (compare with the real thing first) lately.

Nice to know foreigners see us Brits as good at something too

Aussies are fantastic too (an Aussie on Mock the Week) - must have inherited it from us lot (or the other way around).

Mock the week is quite simply the funniest thing on televsion atm*

*that is currently still running... blackadder father ted ect. don't fall into this category...

Edit: infact you have just convinced me to go watch some right now...

Edit 2: i think people can watch full episodes of mock the week on www.bbc.co.uk on thier 'iplayer' im not so sure about people outside the UK though...

A few years ago there was a special (appearantly there are others but I've never seen them) called Blackadder goes back and forth. Set with modern versions of all the Blackadder characters. Where Baldrick invents a time machine.....

Blackadder, of course! I've watched these series when I was about ten... It's funny because it's back on the TV and every Saturday I sit, watch and laugh ...

P.S. I would say the First and Second are my favourite and the Third also has its moments. Well, the last, I did not much like it.

Frasier is really the most hilarious sitcom ever.

Enfield is my favourite and this series tops everything else he ever made (and he made a lot). I literally fell of the couch laughing when I saw my first installment of Mr Cholmondley-Warner.
