Just wondering if anyone's a fan of British comedy around here? Eg Monty Python, Blackadder, Only Fools and Horses, My Family, The Office, Little Britain, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy etc.

Ah, I loved Hot Fuzz. Cool movie. biggrin.gif

Then there's the Full Monty, another classic. And Ali G. And Mr Bean of course.

Hugh Laurie (aka House MD) also made a good partnership with Stephen Fry, there's plenty of their skits available on Youtube. Dead Ringers is also a good show.

Black Adder FTW!! this was the best comedy from Rowan Atkinson IMO, not Mr Bean, but trust the USian to prefer slapstick.
Also Whose Line Is It Anway, AbFab, Hot Fuzz, and The Office XD

I see why no one's even talking about the show I just mentioned. Astro hasn't shown it have they? Here it is on IMDB.

Basically from the same guy who made The Office, Ricky Gervais.

Pik-Sen Lim is a Chinese-British actress who has appeared on British television since the 1950s. She was born in Penang, Malaysia. Later she moved to the United Kingdom to study drama at university.

In 1964 she appeared in the hospital drama series Emergency ward 10, playing a nurse. There she met scriptwriter Don Houghton, whom she married. Her daughter by him, Sara Houghton, is also an actress, and they were once cast as mother and daughter Three Thousand Troubled Threads. She also appeared in Don Houghton-scripted Doctor Who serial The Mind of Evil in 1971, and the first three seasons of the sitcom Mind Your Language.

Her most recent appearances were in the short-lived soap operas Albion Market and Night and Day, as well as Arabian Nights, The Bill, and as a character in the comedy series Little Britain.
