Not sure if we've had this discussion before, but we should have. Essentially, what do people think is the best British series of stand alone comedies? I'm thinking now of shows like Murder Most Horrid, etc, which feature different characters etc each week.
My nomiations would be Ripping Yarns (Michael Palin's finest moment) and That Peter Kay Thing. In many ways this was Kay's best work, far superior to Phoenix Nights, with the ice cream man show a standout (anything that references Appocalypse Now and Taxi Driver in relation to selling icecream is genius). Also worthy of note is Coogan's Run, especially the Get Calf and Dearth of a Salesman episodes.
