[paranoid android]

Alot of my fav shows are british sitcolms. I watch the young ones and bottom religiously and have also seen keeping up appearces, are you being served and yes priminister. I could never get into monthy python though i just dont find john cleese funny.

Could anyone recomend me any other shows like these?

The New Statesman
The Royle Family
Absolutely Fabulous
Porridge
Red Dwarf
The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perin

Chewing Gum (Michaela Coel is superb)
Stath Lets Flats
Derry Girls (Irish)
Father Ted (Irish)
Mandy (Diane Morgan)
Motherland (anything with Diane Morgan in should be good)
This Way Up (Aisling Bea and Sharon Horgan)
Fleabag (is that a sitcom? I don't really know what a sitcom is tbh)

yes minister and yes prime minister are absolutely brilliant. such great writing.

for me, the gold standard of more modern british sitcom is peep show.

the whole cast is great and it's very british.

you might also enjoy:

• detectorists
• fleabag
• spaced
• the outlaws

I don't know if it's been mentioned but Benny hill and Monty python.

Thanks

Can we show some decorum in this thread? It is afterall about British Sitcoms.

Get away with yer Benny Hill @Lil'LinaptkSix , it's just a (shit) comedy sketch show, not in anyway a sitcom (situational comedy), with all due respect as always my fine fellow

Please note OP @paranoid android The word you are seaching for is sitcom, not sitcolm. I thought it was a typo but no, you've done it twice. So, now we are all drinking from the same china cup, you can go watch some of the fine sitcoms listed above.

damn my bad blame it on being american idk
I prefer American stand up so don't have current recall of comedic British shows ATM. Prolly see a few but names don't recall so easily.
All tv sucks maybe why I ignore it mostly. Background. More static.
Peace

The top of my list is Black Adder
