Desert Island comedy discs

Ok you are stranded on a desert island with a small portable TV and DVD player. Luckily a small electrical wood burning/steam powered generator is washed up on shore with you and you've got all the shakespeare books to burn to fuel it! (i know what you're thinking so what if you don't have an axe to chop down the palm trees).

So what 5 comedy sitcom box sets would you take with you? This is my choice: (no particular order)

* Seinfeld
* Porridge
* Only Fools and horses
* Black Adder
* Dad's Army

(I must admit I struggled with my 5th choice).

1. The Office
2. Keeping Up Appearances
3. 'Are You Being Served?'
4. Mulberry
5. The League of Gentlemen

All those are entire show box sets. :D I went for a mix of sentimental and kick ass funny.

The Office
Alan Partridge
Royale Family
Blackadder
Spaced

tricky one.
partridge
the office
simpsons (does that count)
mighty boosh
friends

Yes Minister/Yes, Prime Minister
Keeping Up Appearances
Fawlty Towers
Blackadder
And number 5, yes, probably Are You Being Served? also.
Oh, and a pocketful of my own 'acquirement'. ;)

Boosh
League of Gents
Ricky Gervais (inc stand up dvds)
Fry & Laurie
Blackadder... or Partridge...?

Can I have six if I hide one up my skirt?

I'd never really seen you as wearing a skirt before. Interesting.

... And that wasn't meant nearly as saucy as it sounds.

I'm wearing one as we speak!

You couldn't fit much under it though.

Oh, a tight little number, is it? Rawr.

A bit.
And it's got fake pockets!
What's the point of them, eh?

To make it look like you're getting more for your money. Until you get it home and start wearing it for any amount of time!

Yes me too, how weird...

Anyway, in no order,

1. I'm Alan Partridge
2. The Office
3. Seinfeld
4. Game On
5. Fawlty Towers

Interesting. I obviously give off a very trousery vibe.

It's funny cos I always picture both Aaron and Lee in skirts...
