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!!

Just to clear up any confusion, you can put as many nominations up as you like. I will tally up every show mentioned (obviously if someone put I bloody hate that show, afterwards then I won’t include it) and that’s how the results formed. Hope people are ok with this

I love Miranda , Gavin and Stacey and the Royle family.

But my all time favourite was Getting on.

Jo Brand,Joanna Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine all excellent .

BabloHoney · 18/04/2020 20:24

Does Fleabag count as a sitcom?

Pelleas · 18/04/2020 20:26

Rather an obscure one, but I loved The Peter Principle back in the day.

Voting for Blackadder, The Office, the New Statesman and Upstart Crow too.
