then i wondered what other people would vote as theirs?

Probably 'The Larry Sanders Show' - the one where "Hank's Birthday" sex tape gets stolen, copied and distributed all around Hollywood.

Two in Clover- Series 1 episode 3 (episode 4 on the DVD)

Are they ordered incorrectly then?

Up against the wall, wasn't it?

Two In Clover- On the back of the DVD it gets it right, on the chapter menu inside it gets it right, but on the DVD episode 3 and 4 mix up. What it says on the case is the correct running order.

Ah yes, I think I remember you having mentioned that previously. I'll make note! :)

Not my favourite episode but I loved the IT guy in the Office because I'm sure he works at our place. ;)

I don't know if this one was mentioned or not but my friends and I keep watching the Spaced episode where they go to clubbing over and over again. I just love that episode, seen it many times.

Wow that's quite a list Jack.

I must admit I'm a bit suspicious that you haven't just copied and pasted a list of comedies and then stuck random episode numbers next to them!

Then again some of your choices correlate with my favourites for those comedies too... so I'm now thinking perhaps you really do have too much time on your hands!

OFAH Jolly Boys Outing
Porridge the first episode
