British Comedy Guide

Panel game, sketch show, sitcom

I do wish people would have a browse around the website before getting stuck into the forums, 90% of questions are answered somewhere on the website.

There's serial as well - e.g Brass.

Mark, thank you for your link, but that section doesn't claim to be comprehensive, and I'm particularly interested in the types of comedy which resist easy categorisation.

Comedy drama. Sitcom. Spoof. Satire.

Any and all of the above.
