I don't really think much of more recent comedy, spending most of the money I have to buy old sitcoms on DVD, mostly from the 70s, 80s and 90s. I do, however, have a soft spot for the Horrible Histories troop, mostly their adult sitcoms Yonderland and Ghosts. Amongst my favourite comedy actors are Ronnie Barker and David Jason, while my favourite comedy writers are John Sullivan and Roy Clarke, and I have recently became interested in Keeping Up Appearances.
