Best british comedy series?

Well that would make it your favourite British comedy series, certainly not the best.

Considering that The It Crowd is sitting on the shoulders of such series as Monty Python's Flying Circus, Blackadder, Father Ted and Fawlty Towers to name but a very few it's difficult to see how it could be the best.

Ty hit the nail on the head. IT Crowd is good but cmon, you cant compare it to the classic and almost legendary series like Blackadder and so on

Blackadder the 4th is a great WW1 satire.

Father Ted and Fawlty Towers are nearly flawless though. Pity Fawlty Towers never got more episodes. I need to find me a boxed set of Father Ted episodes.

Another good one, though often overlooked, is Red Dwarf. Mostly for the characters. One of my personal favourites. Along with Black Books.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Not saying it was the best, but I always enjoyed Spaced when it was on.

For my money I'd say The Goon Show, (didn't have to be a television series.) Milligan, Secombe and Sellers are the grandfathers of a lot of british comedy including the Pythons.

I think so. Goodness Gracious Me is just epic though.

Now why would you show me your bum and your... eye-less mouth-less face, I'm not taking anything away from Goodness Gracious Me which is in my opinion fantastic as is Sanjeev Bhaskar. I'm just saying that the Goon Show holds an import place in comedy history. Also Spike was born in India.
