British Comedy… my absolute favourite comedy! 🤩 So many good series and movies come to mind: 'Yes, Minister!', 'Red Dwarf', 'Keeping Up Appearances', 'Blackadder', 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'...it is tough to choose! This time, I am going with my favourite loudmouth ladies – Edina and Patsy from the ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ series – AKA ‘AbFab’.
Created in the nineties by Jennifer Saunders who plays Edina Monsoon – an alcohol-guzzling, drug-abusing PR executive, who is constantly fussing about her weight and her brand-name clothes. Saffron, her daughter, is the complete opposite who constantly has to help her immature mother, when the latter gets in sticky situations. Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley) is Edina’s best friend, a fashion magazine editor, who hasn’t eaten since 1971.
This series has five seasons and cracks me up every time I rewatch it and I have done so several times! I wasn’t impressed with the film which was released in 2016, so I’d skip that one. The series is gold though – I still use quotes from it on a daily basis... darling sweetie darling!
Here’s some fab moments of Eddie and Patsy – https://youtu.be/ZAfmM06pVUw 😸

One of my favourite British Comedies is
"Undertaking Betty"
Its a typical british comedy with a lot of black humor. But it is also lovely and the actors are amazing!
Watch it if you haven't 😉

Little Britain
The program consists of a collection of short sketches about the everyday eccentricities of the British, which are loosely linked together by the narrator. A number of different characters are grotesquely exaggerated as examples. These characters mostly embody socially marginalized groups and the abnormalities of the "little man", which is why faecal humour is a strong stylistic device. The off-screen narrator's comments often consist of absurd nonsense information about Great Britain presented in a serious, scientific manner. The scenes depicted often make fun of "political correctness". Another trademark of the sketches is that they consist of series with recurring actors and the punchlines are always built up according to similar patterns, with slight variations in the sequence of events to lighten things up.

Hot Fuzz (2007)
The middle installment of the Cornetto Trilogy, Hot Fuzz is a hilarious action comedy about a Metropolitan Police Sergeant who is transferred to a small town in Gloucestershire. Used to high-profile cases in London, the main character Nicholas Angel initially struggles to adjust to his new life.
However, he and his co-worker begin to discover a link between numerous deaths previously categorized as accidents. Whilst the plot may sound closer to an all-out action, this film is fantastically funny and manages to balance comedy, action, and some toe-curling gore to make a brilliant film that is essential viewing for any comedy film lover.

THE IT CROWD
The IT Crowd is a British sitcom originally broadcast by Channel 4, written and directed by Graham Linehan. Set in the offices of the fictional Reynholm Industries in London, the series revolves around the three staff members of its IT (Information Technology) department: technical genius Maurice Moss (Ayoade); work-shy Roy Trenneman (O'Dowd); and Jen Barber (Parkinson), the department head/relationship manager who knows nothing about IT. The show also focuses on the bosses of Reynholm Industries: Denholm Reynholm (Chris Morris) and later, his son Douglas (Matt Berry). Goth IT technician Richmond Avenal (Noel Fielding), who resides in the dark server room, also appears in a number of episodes. This is one of my favourites and I have watched it several times. Matt Berry is pure gold!

The League of Gentlemen is a surreal British comedy horror sitcom that premiered on BBC Two in 1999. The programme is set in Royston Vasey, a fictional town in northern England, originally based on Alston, Cumbria, and follows the lives of bizarre characters, most of whom are played by three of the show's four writers – Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, and Reece Shearsmith – who, along with Jeremy Dyson, formed the League of Gentlemen comedy troupe in 1995. The series originally aired for three series from 1999 until 2002, and was followed by a film The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse and a stage production The League of Gentlemen Are Behind You!, both in 2005.
The childish Mr Bean uses his unusual wit to fulfil everyday tasks. But, more often than not, he creates trouble for himself and those around him.
Dad's Army is a British television sitcom about the United Kingdom's Home Guard during the Second World War. It was written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft, and originally broadcast on BBC1 from July 31, 1968, to November 13, 1977. It ran for nine series and 80 episodes in total; a feature film released in 1971, a stage show and a radio version based on the television scripts were also produced. The series regularly gained audiences of 18 million viewers and is still shown internationally.
The Home Guard consisted of local volunteers otherwise ineligible for military service, either because of age (hence the title Dad's Army), medical reasons or by being in professions exempt from conscription. Most of the platoon members in Dad's Army are over military age and the series stars several older British actors, including Arnold Ridley, John Laurie, Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier. Younger members of the cast included Ian Lavender, Clive Dunn (who, despite being one of the younger cast members, played the oldest guardsman, Lance Corporal Jones) and James Beck (who died suddenly during production of the sixth series in 1973). Other regular cast members included Frank Williams as the vicar and Bill Pertwee as the chief ARP warden.
The series has influenced British popular culture, with its catchphrases and characters being well known. The Radio Times magazine listed Captain Mainwaring's "You stupid boy!" among the 25 greatest put-downs on TV. A 2001 Channel 4 poll ranked Captain Mainwaring 21st on their list of the 100 Greatest TV Characters. In 2004, Dad's Army came fourth in a BBC poll to find Britain's Best Sitcom. It was placed 13th in a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programs drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000 and voted for by industry professionals.

Only Fools and Horses.... is a British television sitcom created and written by John Sullivan. Seven series were originally broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom from 1981 to 1991, with sixteen sporadic Christmas specials aired until the end of the show in 2003. Set in working-class Peckham in south-east London, it stars David Jason as ambitious market trader Derek "Del Boy" Trotter and Nicholas Lyndhurst as his younger brother Rodney Trotter, alongside a supporting cast. The series follows the Trotters' highs and lows in life, in particular their attempts to get rich. Critically and popularly acclaimed, the series received numerous awards, including recognition from BAFTA, the National Television Awards and the Royal Television Society, as well as winning individual accolades for both Sullivan and Jason. It was voted Britain's Best Sitcom in a 2004 BBC poll.
Fawlty Towers is a British television sitcom written by John Cleese and Connie Booth, originally broadcast on BBC Two in 1975 and 1979. Two series of six episodes each were made. The show was ranked first on a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000 and, in 2019, it was named the greatest ever British TV sitcom by a panel of comedy experts compiled by the Radio Times.
The series is set in Fawlty Towers, a fictional hotel in the English seaside town of Torquay in Devon. The plots center on the tense, rude and put-upon owner Basil Fawlty (Cleese), his bossy wife Sybil (Prunella Scales), the sensible chambermaid Polly (Booth), who often is the peacemaker and voice of reason, and the hapless and English-challenged Spanish waiter Manuel (Andrew Sachs). They show their attempts to run the hotel amidst farcical situations and an array of demanding and eccentric guests and tradespeople.
