The Office
Phoenix Nights
Look Around You
Spaced
Black Books

Comedy this century is a bit lacking so far. But since it's
only been going almost 4 years it's not too worrying.

Jar: your choices are all excellent (except Red Dwarf which
is merely good), but all last century.

Are we in the 2000's now? Blimey.

All the new comedy is shit, apart from maybe Big Train.

The Office just doesn't appeal to me in the same way as it
seems to appeal to everyone else on the fucking planet.
I liked Black Books

We are, indeed, in the 2000's. Watch out for culture shock

not seen much of little britain - but its the characters
that amuse me more than the dialogue/events themselves..
theyre worryingly true to life.

i forgot to mention league of gentlemen i think.
what ive seen of armando iannucci is quite amusing - some
nicely twisted ideas.
father ted was always pretty good too.

armando ianucci is pretty funny. he used to pruduce the mary
whitehouse experience & the day today, and appeared with
peter baynam & david schneider on the friday/saturday night
armistice.

i think lee & herrings fist of fun needs to be added to the
list. they also wrote for chris morris radio show 'on the
hour' before they fell out.

roy mallard - people like us. another radio show turned tv
show. a bumbling reporter tries in vein to interview
different people in their day to day jobs with a diffrerent
profession every week. pure class.

Anyone remember This Morning With Richard Not Judy? Fucking
hilarious that was.

i saw thismorningwithrichardnotjudy (or tmwrnj as richard
herring was fond of saying) live when they took it on tour.
was pretty funny. they did fist of fun on tv before that..
and fist of fun with peter baynham on radio before that.

i saw stewart lee's live standup show at the edinburgh
festival, summer 2000 - very funny.

tmwrnj was good - but suffered from bad scheduling slots &
not quite enough material to fill a whole 45mins/hour or
whatever it was.

friday/saturday night armistice was on at the same era &
actually used to steal material from tmwrnj - which lee &
herring never failed to point out.
