I agree. I think its amazing! Just a crying shame BBC pitted it against X-Factor, without Sky+ we'd would've never have known about how hilarious it is

I got the Series 1 DVD for my wife for Xmas - she'd never seen it and thought it was great.

Was the last series, series two then?

The kids are fabulous in it, I read recently that most of what they did was adlib!

Phoenix nights should definitely be up there.

What about Alan Partridge? The too tight shorts incident has to be one of the funniest things ever.

Early Doors and Red Dwarf. For the past there is Rising Damp, an absolute classic before political correctness got hold.

The oposite is for oz, I can't even think of 5.

Best Aussie comedy for a long time was "Wilfred"

Pretty much everything else just stinks: Kath & Kim, Chandon Pictures, Pizza...

There was a reasonable Kiwi comedy on ABC lately. "Seven Periods with Mr.Gormsby" - funny as....

Been in Oz 3 years so can only go on what we see over here, and Foxtel shows but Im loving "Pulling" cracking one liners in there, and "Benidorm" was great.

All time......

Extras
The office
Father Ted
gimme gimme gimme

have lent the DVDs to Aussie mates and they like them too....

Also internationally I love "Will and Grace" "third rock from the sun"

Ok, how about, and in no particular order:

The IT Crowd (once you get past the canned laughter)
Gav and Stacey
Black Books
Peep Show (this is definately my favourite)
Extras

And then panel shows like, 8 out of 10 cats, mock the week, buzzcocks, HIGNFY etc

And how about 'The Hollowmen' for an Australian sit com?
