Now let’s see what the best UK sitcom of all time is!!!

[BabyGirl66]

So we have established that Mrs Browns Boys is definitely the worst UK sitcom of all time, but now it’s time to flip it around and see what people think of as the best UK sitcom of all time.

Same rules as before (and yes, for the purpose of this thread Ireland does count). Looking forward to seeing what people’s suggestions are

and yes I will do results again at the end!!

Black Books

Detectorists and The Good Life

@TheoneandObi, I’m still bereft more than 2 years later.

103 messages and no one liked "Spaced" ?

Wow - I really am just as weird as at school then ....

Outnumbered. Absolutely.

The Office
The League of Gentlemen
Fleabag

Cabin Pressure - still funny no matter how often I listen to it.
I liked Outnumbered. Drop The Dead Donkey, Blackadder, Gavin & Stacey and Red Dwarf in the early years.

I like Blackadder, The Good Life and Peep Show. The last two especially.

Oops, forgot Spaced @dgrossetti - another of my all time faves. Every line is memorable/ quotable.

Count Arthur Strong

The Office. Still hilarious and This Country is just as funny! Kurtan is Gareth Keenan mark 2!

This country. bloody hilarious.

Only fools and Horses

British The Office!

Oh yes forgot The League of Gentlemen if that counts (but I'm not sure it does) and Count Arthur Strong on R4 rather than the telly.

So many- but am going for....
one foot in the grave!!

Father Ted and Gavin and Stacey are properly laugh out loud funny.

I also love the Vicar of Dibley and thought Mum was very well written and incredibly well acted.

Bits of Outnumbered are hilarious, although the earlier series are much better than the later ones. It wasn’t as funny once the kids grew up.

I’m not sure I could pick a favourite

Great Sitcoms are of their time. Til Death Us Do Part in its early and forever wiped episodes was a social revolution. The nerve it touched was too raw, and far too many people saw Alf Garnett as a hero rather than the grotesque bigit the actor and writer portrayed him as so brilliantly.

As tragically lame as it became, "Only Fools and Horses" did start as quite a deep commentary on the Britain Thatcher was making. Certainly the very first series. Or am I misremembering ?

Watched it as a child in the 1970s and I still love it today. Fabulous script and acting.

Yes Minister. So rare that something stands the test of time so well.

Blackadder - the last episode is a masterpiece

DH has been revisiting some sitcoms of old and they just aren't funny any more. To The Manor Born, Robin's Nest, George & Mildred, The Good Life, One Foot in the Grave etc.

@isabellrossignol - I’ve been watching it again recently. I’ve worked for Defra for the last 15 years, which adds a whole extra layer of appreciation. So close to the bone!

Dad's Army, very closely challenged by Yes Minister.

I'm torn between two Scottish wonders, Still Game and two doors down. Love them both. Does Gavin and Stacey count as a sit com, or a comedy drama series? if so that would be a contender for me.
