If I like The Thick of It and Peep Show, what other programmes would you recommend?

Just as above. I think I've watched both series' on repeat for a while now so I'm bored and would be interested in something different but similar to both those shows.

Veep is good. By Armando ianucci as well I think.

Thurlow · 01/02/2016 13:56

Have you ever tried The West Wing? Not a comedy (though it has its moments of being very funny) but it's obviously about politics Wink I loved TTOI and am loving TWW right now.

InTheBox · 01/02/2016 14:05

Ah yes! I'd heard of Veep but never watched it. I think Hugh Laurie features on it somewhere, I'm a House MD addict so that would work very well!

I'll also check out TWW.

Wardy1993 · 01/02/2016 14:14

Already mentioned by pp the smoking room is great and all episodes are on YouTube if you can't find anywhere else. Also green wing which is on 4od is great. Oh and it's an oldie but I'm Alan partridge is a classic Wink

SheHasAWildHeart · 01/02/2016 15:25

Arrested Development!!

And agree totally with FellOutOfBedTwice

SheHasAWildHeart · 01/02/2016 15:26

The IT Crowd

FellOutOfBedTwice · 01/02/2016 15:33

Cheers She Cuckoo in particular is seriously underrated and no one seemed to see it but me and DH. And yes to IT Crowd- don't know how I forgot that!

Also- Extras, Twenty Twelve, Black Books, Episodes, Gavin and Stacey, Pheonix Nights, Catastrophe and Lead Balloon. Lead Balloon in particular is incredibly underrated and one of the best things that's been on telly in the last 20 years.

rattata · 01/02/2016 16:07

Nathan Barley - only 1 series of it sadly and bit old but so funny and still relevant about the trendy crowd. IT crowd as well as mentioned by others above.

Silicon Valley has its moments too.

Davros · 01/02/2016 21:52

Yy to Kead Balloon. May I suggest Uncle, The Trip, Amvassadors

Davros · 01/02/2016 21:52

Lead Balloon I mean!

wickedwaterwitch · 01/02/2016 21:53

W1A
2012
The office

wickedwaterwitch · 01/02/2016 21:54

In the loop is great too, it's the film of the thick of it

london32 · 01/02/2016 21:55

Siblings bbc 3 tpnogjt 1030 so funny

Haggisfish · 01/02/2016 21:56

Green wing. Friday night dinner. Fresh meat.

katienana · 01/02/2016 21:57

Fresh Meat same writers as Peep Show.

CaptainHammer · 03/02/2016 16:39

The Smoking Room/Lead Balloon/Arrested Development/Spaced were my first thoughts and as they've all been mentioned I think you should start with them!

15 Storeys High and Human Remains are great too.

Destinysdaughter · 03/02/2016 16:45

Parks and Recreation
Black Books
Drop the Dead Donkey

ChristianGreysAnatomy · 03/02/2016 16:47

2012 definitely and w1 also. Brilliant.

Thehoardernextdoor · 03/02/2016 16:52

Pulling-Sharon Horgan's comedy from some years back. Bit like a female Peep Show and quite filthy. I love it

BritabroadinAsia · 05/02/2016 06:54

Another vote for Veep - US version of The Thick of It (well, similar) and very good.
