I have yet to meet any British person who likes Benny Hill. It was the singularly most embarrassing TV program ever made.

Off the top of my head, I'd have to say Coupling was my favorite...except for the last season when Jeffery was gone. Ohhhh, Jeffery!

I had the chance to see Monty Python's Flying Circus in person when the group came to NYC in the 70's when my sister won tickets to see them perform live at the theater, they were my all time favorite british comedy act!

I had to vote none b/c I havent seen any of them. I do like the watch the british version of big brother though, but I don't think that counts.
cdneh

Where is Little Britain?

Keeping Up Appearances was the best on the list for me, Loved it. I love most British comedy except Benny Hill (stupid IMO, but that is just me). And of course Coronation Street used to be my staple program on Sunday mornings, but don't get it here which really sucks cray5ol.gif

My Dad loves Benny Hill! But, then, you've never met him so, technically, you can still say you haven't met anyone. laughing.gif

My dad is a big Benny Hill fan. He made Andre sit and watch hours of it with him one day. Andre said he didn't get it so he just laughed whenever my dad laughed.

Were "The Young Ones" British? I believe they were. I LOVED those guys. I asked for them on DVD for my birthday this year.

Voted Monty Python because Vicar of Dibley wasn't on the list.
Amby
I can't believe I forgot Father Ted! Neil has a tshirt with Father Jack on it and it says "girls feck drink" laughing.gif
greeneyedgirlfl
Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Black Adder, AbFab, Coupling, My Family, Young Ones, Vicar of Dibley, Keeping Up Appearances...and many others too numerous to count (I guess I'm just an anglophile...)

Darren loves Only Fools and Horses...never seen it, but I'm sure I will soon!
