    No Catherine Tate? Whatever, I'm not bothered.

    Here are a few classic British comedy shows, starting with sit-coms...

    What about Fry and Laurie? Many Americans know them individually, but very few know them as the comedy double act.

    My two favourites are definitely Blackadder and Fawlty Towers!! "Don't mention the war! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it all right."

    No mention of the Two Ronnies? Ronnie Barker was a classic when it came to British word play!

    Ahem, disappointed at the lack of mention of David Mitchell. His sarcastic rants are the embodiment of British comedy.

    "Only fools and horses","Alo-Alo" and The Black Adder have been shown on the national service and the #1 most popular channel in Macedonia at least 5 times, start to finish. I love them soooo much. I used to watch them when I was younger even tough i didn't quite understand everything.

    what about Dad's Army? Blackadder? Mock the Week? Mrs Brown's Boys? so many you could of shown. maybe you should consider doing part two videos on the one's that many people commented on. I'm a Brit, still living in Britain, and love watching this

    So pleased you mentioned Yes, Minister! One of my favorite, regularly watched shows. I love Sir. Humphrey's verbose explanations. Also on my list is Open All Hours and Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrine.
