THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 If you’ve talking about comedy shows then partridge has to be in there....I like the office , the league of gentlemen and Phoenix nights although I know a lot of them aren’t to peoples taste . A big shout out has to go to Simon greenall , he is from the same little town as me and was in my mams class at school. He’s often knocking around at town events and is a very shy retiring man in real life . He’s famous now for his voiceover work as Sergei the meerkat from compare the market adverts but in my eyes this is easily his finest moment. .... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All those you mention are on my list of all time greats plus a few others. It’s not just their originality & great writing/performances, but a special type of Brit humour that can’t be replicated elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
