@baconbitsserverage It really is a gem of a show. Everyone in it is so great, too (i really love Mark Heap for some reason. Funny in just about everything. He also appears in most of the shows I mention) ! <br /> <br /> People from so many of my other favorite British comedies, you can often tell who's influencing who with writing what, putting each other in their shows , or after meeting somebody on that project and that person likes working with them and enjoys their abilities, they will often bring them to another one.... Resulting in some damn fine comedy TV if you ask me. <br /> <br /> Stuff like this, Brass Eye, The Day Today, Green Wing, Black Books, Peep Show, A Bit of fry and Laurie, Jam. Look Around You. Nathan Barley or The Mighty Boosh... Really anything Charlie Brooker ever made, too. Screenwipe, and "How TV Ruined Your Life" got me hooked.... <br /> <br /> Not negating Black Adder and Monty Python of course but that's obvious.<br /> <br /> Snuff Box is also really awesome. Most people haven't heard of that, but I find it ottp silly and I am a sucker for sketch comedy. It has Matt Berry. Heck you've likely seen it already :P

@chocoloctopus Agreed, Mark Heap caught my attention in Big Train.... and then as I looked him up, I discovered all the other shows he'd been in. At the same time, I stumbled into Brass Eye by way of an article on the most controversial TV shows and thus I collected The Day Today and the other Armondo Iannucci shows and the Alan Partridge character. <br /> <br /> I developed a comedy crush on Rich Fulcher because of his appearances in The Kroll Show and others, so then I discovered Snuff Box and LOVED IT. Then my comedy crush centered on Matt Berry and I think my favorite thing of all has to be AD/BC: A Rock Opera.

That is awesome! I love ALL of those shows. Big Train is another one I found just because of Mark. I always end up watching new things in the same ways.😂<br /> <br /> Matt Berry is so great. I love that he makes his own music. I'm also a big fan of "Man to Man with Dean Learner". Christopher Morris is still my biggest comedy crush. I absolutely recommend Jam if you haven't managed to watch that yet... <br /> <br /> I was really excited by Veep. Armando really did something brilliant there, and the episodes with chris morris involved in the creation were too good. You've got great taste btw!<br /> @baconbitsserverage
