I never saw the League of Gentlemen movie as I was abroad, I wondered whether it lived up to the TV show. Oh dear, I don't know whether to watch it or not!

jees... i didnt think anyone had seen 15 stories high that show 'was' great, i thought that was just a show i stummbled across in the wee hours of the morning which noone else would be watchin lol

yeah that's how i first came across it actually!! you can get atleast the first series on dvd and they are all so funny. errol is such a good character... have you seen the one where he cuts himself and keeps using nicotine patches as plasters?? classic!

LOL no but it sounds good.. i didnt see that many of them but the few i did see were great... sean lock is brilliant in it and his new shows like, 8 out of 10 cats and tv heven, telly hell are good aswell

iv been looking for the dvds since i first saw the show but HMV in lancaster is rubbish.!!

Yeah I'm following saxondale too and lovin it.

Sure wish mr coogan would stay far away from hollywood

So glad to see him do what hes good at again. Really pulls of the character imo the therapy sessions in the beginning of each ep are probably my fav parts

i think i only hated the film so much because i loved the tv series so was expecting sommat amazing and just disappointed myself! i'm sure if i saw it again with a bit more of an open mind it'd be pretty funny... you gotta give it a blast aint ya!

The Office is class, but does anyone remember Operation Good Guys?
It was the fore runner of the docu-comedy following a bunch of inept police officers carrying out their duties with hilarious results......Better than The Thin Blue Line in my opinion.

Other comedies I don't think have been mentioned but are worth a look are;

Gimme Gimme Gimme
Rab C Nesbitt
Naked Video
Coupling (Britain's answer to "Friends")
Early Doors (same writers as The Royle Family)
One Foot in the Grave

Funny you should mention One Foot in the Grave. That was the running joke on the episode of Father Ted I watched last night.  "I don't believe it." :D

yeah... early doors is excellent, chinese dino!! have we mentioned "THAT PETER KAY THING"? probably the best thing he's done... almost prefer it to "PHEONIX NIGHTS" and i love that!
also someone reminded me about "MARION AND JEFF" with rob brydon (the welsh dude) i just happened to turn over one day and saw this "documentary". couldn't work out if it was real or not for a while. i guess that's what people must think when they turn over to the park!!!

"That Peter Kay Thing" was superb.

yeah they were all so good... would be hard to pick a fave but  that one's right up there. the brian potter one was excellent too. after that and pheonix nights i was really disappointed with "Max and Paddy"... does anyone else agree?

also i keep thinking of more (i'm sorry!):

Monkey Dust - really dark animations. it was on bbc2 in the autumn i think. there have been 2 series and i really hope there's a third!

The Mark Thomas Comedy Product - PLEASE let someone else remember this!! this guy is a genius... he finds loopholes in the law that allow people to get away with crazy shit and totally exploits them. even though it's mainly politically based, you don't have to understand politics to find it funny. check it out!!! (there was a dispatches docu about the firearms trade in ireland recently that he headed and he's just written a book about this.)

Saw Mark Thomas at the Rawhide comedy club in Liverpool.
He was political but very funny with it. He shared the bill with Rob Newman who was VERY political, and while his stuff was cleverly thought through I couldn't help but yearn for the days he partnered David Baddeil on The Mary Whitehouse Experience.
Their old University Professors acting like school kids was top class! ("See that small sticky thing that you gat on the bottom of your shoe sometimes?" "I am aware of the substance in question" ".......That's YOU that is."   :lol:
