Man about the House

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Another perpetual favourite is 'Scrubs'
Particularly the older episodes, where JD, Eliott, Todd & Turk are relative newcomers

We do have a Perry Cox type of Doctor..........

Could it really be a comedy?

I ended up discussing this with an Operating Department Practitioner the other day, who'd served in the first Gulf War, in a Army hospital
He could identify with it, barring the uniforms, & some procedures

His theatre version of "The Ladykillers" (which I saw at the New Vic, in Stoke) is brilliant.

(It was staged "in the round" when I saw it, very inventively, but there's a more conventionally staged version too - note that this review is quite spoiler heavy; https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2011/dec/08/the-ladykillers-review-michael-billington )

We saw the Ladykillers, a very good production. I tried to watch the original film a few days later and it really felt slow and clunky by comparison.

It opened last week at my local theatre I'm keen to see it.

I could sit and watch the Ealing comedies all day & Linehan is a genius IMHO so it's a perfect storm of good for me.

 

[Roxy641]

Curb Your Enthusiasm
Coupling
Seinfeld
Monty Python
Fawlty Towers
Blackadder (esp. Blackadder goes Forth)
Spitting Image
This Morning With Richard not Judy (Stewart Lee and Lee Herring)

I'm sure there are plenty of others, but those are the first ones that came to mind.

Linda Smith's A Brief History of Timewasting.

Yes, yes you can and Linda was very good.
I love comedy and radio comedy is great. Radio 4 extra folks and the iplayer have stacks of it.

I love intelligent humour,political/current affairs satire sketch and the absurd.

Cowards, great absurd sketch show, also did a tv series, you tube has it.
Newsjack and the news quiz.
I'm sorry I haven't a clue, always reliable but I think finally slowing down.
The boom Jennys, skivers and seekers all good sketch.
The secret world.
Listen against, total nonsense also on the iplayer radio now.
