I find peep show amazingly funny, it is very awkward and a bit repetitive but I think it's very good, don't think it is for everyone though, definently worth watching a few episodes to see if you like it .

Great pick. It is brilliantly written.

Green Wing. Spaced.

I'm the same as Memphis, I love those old shows because of the nostalgia, the other sunday morning I had an On the Buses film on in the background, ended up getting my full attention, loved it

Would I lie to you? They think its all over, League of their own

Another one I really liked and rarely gets mentioned despite starring Stephen Fry, was Absolute Power.

Little Britian had some cutting edge confrontation.

What would you say are the funniest and best British comedy shows?

You really need to watch or buy "orrible" with jonny vaughan.
