Quote: Michael Monkhouse @ 27th July 2017, 10:08 AMRewatching I'm Alan Partridge. It is, in the words of Charles Dickens, totally f**king awesome. The Jed episode is the most fun you can have without the use of Mel C and a shower attachment.
I'd like to know how they were written and how much touching up there was. If they would be constantly chopping and changing while rehersing it to see what works or if it was a much quicker process than that.
Yeah! I noticed that the credits include 'Additional material by the cast' - I'd be interested to know how far the others were involved in lines on set. If you read Ingmar Bergman's scripts (Ingmar Bergman was known for his knockabout sense of humour) they're essentially narrative sketches, with many of the lines semi-improvised before the camera.
I am late to the party as usual,

Having reviewed my list I am surprised that so many of them are from the late 80s and early 90s.
I grew up in what many would regard as the golden age of British comedy, the 1970s, so this makes my list for me all that more surprising
None of those really work for me except Porridge. Come to think (that's my brain in reverse) I just don't really go for sitcoms in general - I lean more towards stand-up or sketch shows. I love The Young Ones, but that's about as far from trad sitcom as you can possibly get (similarly Boosh)... After my three all time faves (Young Ones, Fawlty Towers, I'm Alan Partridge) it was surprisingly difficult to fill the list. I'm not talking about quality but personal taste, and my tastes are eclectic (I like ALL the Spice Girls).
It's difficult for BCGnian to find a good and less known sitcom in Top 10 lists. Maybe Two Additional Sitcoms to 10 Usual Greats could give us some info where to dig in maybe yet unknown sitcom territory. Not British and good for me: Lexx (Canadian and German plus UK Channel 5), The Drew Carey Show (US).
1. The Benny Hill Show
2. Fawlty Towers
3. Father Ted
4. Garth Merenghi's Dark Place
5. Steptoe and Son (but Sanford and Son was a good adaptation)
6. Man About The House (but 3s Company was a good adaptation)
7. George and Mildred (The Ropers was a good adaptation)
8. Monty Python's Flying Circus
9. Bless This House
10. Little Britain

These aren't sitcoms!

Well, to be fair, a Sitcom is a situational comedy. Benny Hill is ALWAYS in a situation, that turns into a comedy, lmao.

People forget about Watching - it's a very underrated sitcom.

In that case you could say any comedy, even stand-up is a sitcom, which it isn't. No, I'm sorry but you are wrong. Note the "regular cast" bit :-
