I love British Comedies, and I'm looking for a group to share the laughs with. I'm not sure where to start, so how about, what tickles your funny bone? What are some of your faves?

Actress Mollie Sugden (Mrs Slocombe in Are You Being Served?) Dies at 86 2 Replies

From BBC News - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8129617.s Sugden played the wonderful character Mrs. Slocombe. I think Are You Being Served hooked me on British comedy.

Comment by DLM on July 19, 2009 at 3:10am: The Cracker series staring Robbie Coltrane is excellent.

Comment by Aces on July 18, 2009 at 7:00pm: Not a comedy but it does have some laughs and is a great British TV show:
Cracker
Netflix doesn't have the first season but Blockbuster On Line does so I've seen all 3 and love this show. I would recommend that you watch the series in order. It's about catching criminals but there's a lot of personal story on the main characters so it should be seen in order.

Comment by moviemom on July 5, 2009 at 7:07pm: Just watched Butterflies starring Wendy Craig a comedy from the 70's... it was too subtle and "grown-up for me at the ripe old age of 20.
It is perfect the second time around funny and smart.

Comment by DeeAnn Bradley on November 17, 2008 at 7:29pm: Besides Faulty Towers, Monty Python and Extras, does this include the very laugh cause they're overboard violence Guy Ritchie films?

Comment by Aces on May 23, 2008 at 12:39pm: I've never heard of it but just looked it up on the web and it looks good. Looks like it's not available in DVD for the U.S. Rats. I want to see this.

Comment by Lesmelkat on May 21, 2008 at 4:15pm: Did anyone ever see Gimme, Gimme, Gimme?

Funny, strange show. Loved the camp, the relationships, Linda's hair-it reminded me of ketchup and mustard.
