Here - in no particular order - are the 20 best shows from 2017.
Alex Nelson, i Newspaper, 11th December 2017TLOG's original Christmas special was terrifying
Almost two decades later, it remains an inspired mix of wicked fun and festive fright.
Mark Butler, i Newspaper, 7th December 2017Writers' Guild Awards 2018 shortlists
The shortlists for the Writers' Guild Of Great Britain Awards 2018 have been announced. Nominees include the writers of This Country, Back, Inside No. 9 and Sarah Kendall, John Finnemore and Kevin Eldon.
British Comedy Guide, 5th December 2017TLOG: 'I can't believe we're back here doing this'
"Welcome to Royston Vasey. You'll never leave." That sign greeted visitors to The League of Gentlemen's fictional home town. And it's proving true for the cult sketch show's creators, who have been drawn back there for three Christmas specials after more than a decade away.
Ian Youngs, BBC, 28th November 2017Pauline Campbell-Jones has never been more relevant
In an age when Britain's convoluted, punishing benefits system is forcing people into food poverty, Universal Credit has come under fire and even Job Centres themselves are being closed in the name of austerity, Pauline's attitude to the unemployed has never been more ripe for a return to our screens.
Mark Butler, i Newspaper, 8th November 2017Inside No. 9 - a special anthology screening
I was lucky enough to attend this unique event at Sheffield's annual Celluloid Screams festival. Unique in that this was the first time Inside No.9 had been given the honour of a curated anthology screening. The three episodes - handpicked by the creators themselves - were all from the three series already broadcast, making it distinct from the BFI's two episode previews for each new series.
Dodo's Words, 24th October 2017The League of Gentlemen have just finished filming
The League of Gentlemen returns to BBC2 this Christmas.
Ellie Harrison, Radio Times, 20th October 2017Scream with laughter: can comedy ever be scary?
Standup Nick Coyle's new show Queen of Wolves takes a Victorian governess on a terrifying journey - and proves how humour and horror work in similar ways.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 25th September 2017The League Of Gentlemen specials to be filmed in September
Further details have been revealed about the three new specials from The League Of Gentlemen.
British Comedy Guide, 26th August 2017Welcome back League of Gentlemen, you work of genius
It was brutal, terrifying - and hilarious. After a 15-year break, we are more than ready to return to Royston Vasey with Edward and Tubbs and the local people.
Alexi Duggins, The Guardian, 24th August 2017
