British Comedy Guide

BCG Comedy Crossword #3

Okay, here's the third of my attempts to infuriate your brains.

Last time it took the combined efforts of the board well over a day to polish off all the clues, and I think I've made this one even harder.

Some are easy, some could be considered terribly obscure.

As ever, all the answers are the names of comedy people, shows, concepts, in-jokes, trivia... anything to do with comedy.

As ever, apologies for the lame auto-generated grid and any mistakes in the clues (not usually any, but you never know)
