What comedy programmes do you like? Guaranteed to make you chuckle.

I can't find many new programmes, which make me lol.

Love the classics, Only Fools, Some mothers do 'eve' em, but do like The Inbetweeners.

What tickles your fancy?

I was a big fan of the mix of comedy on The Royle Family.

Also like Fawlty Towers and Dads Army.

I love all the classics, plus the newer stuff like IT, Peep Show, Ideal, Extras etc.

If you like bitter-sweet with a touch of dark, there's a series on iPlayer called Fleabag which I enjoyed loads.

Same writers as Likely Lads and Porridge. I think it's technically called Comedy-Drama.

Great program though whatever it's called : )

KYTV was good. Its predecessor Radio Active gets repeated now and again on R4Extra. Loved Green Wing too.

To me, comedy is something that rarely ages well. So many comedies that were fantastic when released, such as The Young Ones, Red Dwarf (early series) and The Office. I watch the now and I struggle to enjoy them. Some that have ages well include Curb Your Enthusiasm, League of Gentlemen and Alan Partridge.
