North Square. A cracking Channel 4 legal drama that lasted one measerly series before being axed. And talking of great C4 shows cut off in their prime: Ultraviolet. Great little vampire show.
Shows that you remember but no one else does! Page 2

Oh yes - Jack Davenport from Coupling was in it
Underwolrd by Andy Hamilton. A stone cold classic, but never repeated and never released on DVD.
Angelo's: Sharon Horgan, Shelley Longworth, Steve Brody, Paul Kaye. Very funny, but seldom repeated and never on DVD

Oh yes, a great series and - despite my memory believing otherwise - I do have it on DVD :-)
Showing my age & not actually comedy but, "Children of the stones" was a very surreal teatime series in the 70's.
Was there a kids show called "The Biz" on at some point? I can only remember the title sequence and I've no idea what it was about now.
I was more a "playdays" kind of girl (up until a disturbingly late age as I remember...)

I actually have that on DVD! Very creaky FX and full of clunky exposition, but it still sends a tingle down the spine.

Yeah!
It had that northern boy in it who ended up as a mental in EastEnders.

Oh God.
It was mostly about giving obnoxious stage school kids something to put on their c.v. until they were old enough to be in The Bill.

Ooh, I didn't know Siobhan Redmond (her off Holby City) had a comedy pedigree. I mean, I saw her in The Catherine Tate Show, but I didn't know she did comedy.
Quote: Aaron @ April 1 2010, 12:54 AM BSTWhat about The Smoking Room, Tim?
Was she in that then? I didn't watch it much really, so I don't remember. Twas OK I suppose.
I've always found Holby City hilarious in its own way, so that's enough proof for me.
Anyway... I didn't realise that Ben Elton had done comedy?
Give it up, Tim.
