Here's another of my top 10's:-

TOP 10 BRITISH TV COMEDY SHOWS

10. Porridge
I've always been a huge fan of Ronnie Barker and I think that, of his solo TV series, this one was the best. His character was brilliant and the story lines were really well written and thought out, and above all else it was very funny.

9. The Two Ronnies
It was a close run thing between this one and Porridge for the 9 and 10 slots in this list. I placed this higher purely because some of the sketches they did were just so classic and are still so funny.

8. Morecambe & Wise
I grew up with these two being a big chunk of my TV watching life. I think that Eric Morecambe was brilliantly funny and Ernie Wise was just fantastic as his foil, but also got a lot of funny lines of his own as well. I still laugh at so many of their sketches any time I see them.

7. The Tommy Cooper Show
Tommy Cooper was just excellent. A really funny man who could, and still can, make me laugh by not doing very much at all. Pure genius.

6. Q8
I am a big fan of Spike Milligan and always have been, I would have liked to choose just about every TV show he's ever done under one number but I didn't think that would work. I chose Q8 purely because he set out to do a whole series of TV series called the Q series just to do the one joke of calling this one Q8 (Kuwait), now that's seriously odd and funny.

5. Red Dwarf
I kind of had to included this series somewhere purely because it is a comedy Sci-fi show, not something that many people seem to believe is possible (especially those involved in writting Sci-fi). I put it so far up the list because it was just so brilliantly written and acted, and was just so funny. I wasn't as into the last series as I was all the others but on the whole I thought it was excellent.

4. Alexei Sayle's Stuff
In my opinion Alexei Sayle is a very funny comedian, he is a very serious man and sometimes comes accross in interviews I've seen as being a bit dry, but his comedy is fantastic. I loved Stuff and also love his books, he's great.

3. The Smoking Room
I didn't know what to expect from this show when I first saw it on BBC3 but almost as soon as it started I was a fan. It was so funny and the characters were so well put together, I worked in a number of offices with those people in and smoked with them many times. I wish they'd made more of them.

2. The Mighty Boosh
This is a fantasticly strange but hugely funny show. I hadn't listened to it on the radio and it took me a while to get into the first series on TV, but when I did I was just blown away by it. I wasn't overly impressed by the last series, I honestly didn't find it as consistently funny as the previous ones had been, I hope that if they make another one it will be better.

1. Monty Python's Flying Circus
I had to put this as my number 1, I remember listening to the albums and watching the TV show all the time as a kid and it was such a huge influence on me. I loved it then and I still love it now. I don't think there's much more I can really saw about it.

Well that's all for now,

see ya
