Also a fan of Harry Hill. | He is great live, I've seen him twice. I was at the Palladium last year when they filmed his latest DVD.
Some Family Guy stuff is really funny.
Absolutely Fabulous was great, as was a lot of the Harry Enfield stuff. |

| | | Re: Favourite Comedy and/or Sketch Whilst not the most wildlife orientated post, it is very interesting.
We have so many good programmmes that I don't think anyone reading the thread hasn't said "Oh yes, forgotten that" (sorry to presume for others what I felt)
The American Blockbusters seem to get a very small window in our diaries. No real surprise there then, there is a difference in the tickle factor of our two great nations.
Bring back Ted Ray! (no,please don't) |

| True, although that said, I am addicted to the late night (adult) cartoon "Family Guy"  It's hilarious, and just totally crazy! I was surprised to see our Andy Capp and Flo put in an appearance the other night, as I didn't think it would make much sense to Americans; but what followed immediately after their customary punch-up certainly eclipsed that potentially small hitch. Giggity giggity giggity!
