Gavin and Stacey

Are you saying Gavin should be nominated for SPOTY?

last night's episode was one of the best comedy shows i've seen - genius.

never used to bother watching it that often, but was sold after the xmas special last year.

Last night was far better than last week.

Catch the first series if you can. Very funny.

Like The Office, they're taking it to the USA, though with American actors.
Not sure if they can create the same type of characters/comedy in the US, or if they will find it funny.

that's interesting TRFC Kev, hard to see the americans getting it, but thought the same about the office and think their version has become a watchable show.

might get the first two seasons on dvd.

what series is this new one

Is it better than:

Lead Balloon
Vic Reeves Big Night Out
Blackadder (choose your series)
The Fast Show
Early Doors
Phoenix Nights
The Office
Extras
Ripping Yarns
Terry and June
Bless this House
The first series of Armstrong and Miller
That's my Boy with Molly Sugden

Discuss.

snooker, for me, in order...

the office

only fools
fawlty towers
gavin and stacey
two and a half men
peep show
curb
extras
phoenix nights

probably forgot some...

I quite like that thing with Lee Mack and Tim Vine.

Admittedly it feels very contrived but there are some good lines in it.

Darren I'm very surprised at Extras being so far down your list! Unless that's your real name that is.

George and Mildred NAP.

over- hyped rubbish

I'd like to use the fat bloke as a trampoline

That's the problem when I've tried to watch it.
I can't stand any of the people in it apart from Alison Steadman.

I DONT GET GAVIN AND STACEY!!

I would probably sit down and watch it if it weren't for that James corden fella having put me off anything with him in it for life.

Can I just add... Fawlty Towers is crap.

You put the non-stop gag fest that is Phoenix Night bottom of that list?

..and no My Family.

Is Gavin and stacey better than:

Lead Balloon+ yes
Vic Reeves Big Night Out +yes
Blackadder (choose your series) -no
The Fast Show-no
Early Doors+yes
Phoenix Nights+no
The Office+no
Extras=tie
Ripping Yarns+no
Terry and June+just
Bless this House+yes
The first series of Armstrong and Miller-no
That's my Boy with Molly Sugden -NO

I find it hard to believe Armstrong and Miller has ever been funny

you are missing 2 gems from those recent top comedy lists:

The In-Betweeners &
Max & Paddy

how about a new list for all-time worst comedies:

I'll start with:

Dinnerladies
Two Pints Of Lager & A Packet Of Crisps
Last Of The Summer Wine

but by some distance the worst comedy I've ever seen:

*the thick of it
