ooooooooo no thats a hard one.

Red Dwarf

BlackAdder

The fast show

Porridge

Open All Hours

But the funniest sketch I ever saw was from an American show which i can't remember. It involved a dentist and his patcient. the dentist tried to give the guy Novacane but kept missing and injecting different parts of his own body so bit by bit his hand his leg and face went numb. Finaly he injects himself in the head and passes out. 

The Guy in the chair couldn't keep a straight face. I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard.

red dwarf was my favourite

[lifelearner]

oh but then there was a short spell of this comedy that came on bbc2 around 9pm about 3 yrs ago and i think it was called 'my life' ( though i could be completely wrong) and it was with this guy whose now dyed his hair ginger wears funny glasses and interviews celebrities- tall lanky guy. And he played a really arrogant guy who worked for a sex mad boss, and always told lies and got himself into trouble........and it was hilarious...and i also can't remember the name!

[Dark Angel]

Fawlty Towers

[natalie_1982]

Sounds like he may have also been Dennis Pennis, lifelearner.

I alwyas thought Game On was really good too.

[nash_pam]

so many to choose from but I think the best ones were only fools and horses and open all hours.
