Just getting through the final series of Black Books with Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey. One of my favourites next to Spaced and Father Ted.

What were your favourites?

Spaced and Black Books were 2000's! But good choices!

Dylan Moran is a great writer, his stand up is brilliant.

I used to like Game On. The first series anyway, went downhill after that.

Bottom still cracks me up watching it back now. Must be the child in me!

Big Train and Smack the Pony were good - as were the Scottish series like Naked Video (birthplace of Rab C Nexbitt) Absolutely and Chewin the Fat.

I loved Nathan Barley, although it didn't quite catch on.

Going a bit further back, Nightingales was a personal favourite.

But perhaps the king of all - Brass Eye

Bottom was just one of those absolutely amazing and original comedies, real life cartoon violence coupled with perfect comic pacing from Mayall and Edmondson - the stage shows were incredible too

"Absolutely - not to be confused with Ab Fab"
true - though that was good in its day too, mainly thanks to Joanna Lumley IMO...

Just around the corner

The Day Today (father of Brass Eye), and because of my profession: We Are History - more entertaining and realistic than Time Team.

"The Day Today (father of Brass Eye), and because of my profession: We Are History - more entertaining and realistic than Time Team."

Yes - I think it was The Day Today I was remembering, with Alan Partridge doing the sports reports IIRC. Genius.

How could I forget. It taught me everything I know about he Romans. Dopey the Frog is worth a Google for a giggle.

Lol! Is right. Most people look at me like I've got two heads when I mention that programme.

Any fans of the under-rated filthy rich and catflap. Or one called over the rainbow? They lived above a pub?
