Jollzwhin posted:Having had the dubious pleasure of working very closely with the BBC on several projects over the last year, I'm quite happy to say that the budget cuts it is receiving are a good thing if it helps them think about their structure. They do with 100 people what other companies do better with 5, and that is no exagguration. It should never be privatised of course, tory madness. I go to a specialized creative university with a main focus on broadcast (though I do a new web based course) and it seems every tutor has worked at the beeb from time to time, including a lot of the creatives we get into to lecture. I even went for an interview for an internship and we briefly discussed the BBC and one of the interviewers said "well who hasn't worked there?

For quiz shows: Never Mind The Buzzcocks They Think It's All Over (there were quite a few truly hilarious episodes with the Hancock, Gower, Lineker, McGrath and Jonathan Ross quintet). I'd also add ~2003-2006 Bremner, Bird and Fortune to the sketch show/satire list. Just after the Iraq war and Tony Blair's scummy part in it, the show was wonderfully acerbic. I also loved how Bremner tore both Blair and Michael Howard apart.

The Goon Show. I remain forever amazed that Something Awful as a whole has never discovered it - it's completely wacky and off-the-wall and the title has the word "Goon" in it. Horses, water, et cetera.

I'll be buggered if i'm going to trawl through posts adding things to it (especially as I havent seen everything). If you really think it's a worthy comedy, just quote the list and jam your new entry in, then if someone else remembers another show they can quote your list and add that in too. In a page or two i bet we'll have listed pretty much all the decent british comedies there are and if there are any stinkers, they can be argued out of it.

But remove the quote tags when you do, because quoting only keeps one level of inline quotes, so you can't quote what someone else has quoted (I think that makes sense). Which means you have to manually add all the bbcode bold code when you copy and paste it. So the next person who makes a list, and then the next person who quotes it having added their own. Take out the quote tags. I think.

I don't know if it counts as  to link to the episodes on youtube, so I'm not going to risk it, but I was just watching the first part of the pilot, and that is some unbelievably poo poo sketch comedy. I almost gave up during the first sketch, and did during the second.
