Although I think there is good and bad stuff from both countries; I do think that 'Badiel and Skinner Unplanned' is better than 'Merrick and Rosso Unplanned'

I've seen neither Alan Partridge nor Kath and Kim, but British humour is the best in the world !

Little Britain is hilarious and I'm sure the Aussies will love it. You have to get into it though - the more you watch it the funnier it gets. I saw Peter Kaye's stand up show the other night and howled with laughter. I had no idea he was so funny. Is Phoenix nights good?

Peter Kay - top man - love pheonix nights - i suspect they wont 'get' that in other countries. I know many 'southerners' who don't get it. Having lived in the midlands and spent many many nights in working mens clubs I can relate to everything in pheonix nights

l know what you mean about the British having a different sense of humour after Billy Connolly's joke about how he wished the terrorists would just hurry up and chop the guys head off.

I'm sure there's people with good and also people with a crappy sense of humour in both U.K and OZ, It's just that I haven't found many people since I've been over here, that I can have a bloody good laugh with....!!!
Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places...?
If anyone could head me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful....??!
