Hey team

Running low on stuff to watch and want a break from US dramas. Keen for some fresh British laughs

Sort of stuff I have watched and loved:

Mighty Boosh
Spaced
Green wing
Office
IT Crowd
Inbetweeners
Fast show
Im Alan Partridge
League of gentlemen

So if anyone can add to my list I would greatly appreciate it.

Oh, and if you like a good laugh and havent watched anything above I recommend you do!

Try The Thick of It (and the movie, "In The Loop").  It has some of the best swearing in history.

not a series as such more collaborations, but Harry Enfield, Katheryn Tate, and Little Britain are all good shows.
Check out summer heights high as well, its Aussie not British, but still quality.

Was going to mention Black Books. Also;
Peep Show
That Mitchell and Webb Look

Reply #9 Posted: June 02, 2013, 07:46:38 pm
Related to *juice*. The Orz like *sauce*, which they seem to acquire through killing: "After the *dancing*, Orz think you will make good *special sauce*. Maybe even for other Orz *party*." It would seem this is likely to be something sinister. The Orz apparently wish those who take part in *parties* to enjoy the *sauce*, as in the above quote, or in their parting words from random encounters: "Do not forget to *enjoy the sauce*."

Backed and backed hard. Peep Show is the best


Also: Man Stroke Woman is pretty good sketch comedy, Nick Frost and a few others, some from Green Wing

Also, although it's only a mini-series: The Trip

Alphas was cancelled after the 2nd season, and it was American. Unless the Brits have another show with the same title.

If you like little Britain there's also Come Fly with Me. Also An Idiot abroad is hilarious but it's not for everyone.
