10 of the worst UK comedies that need to stay buried
Trawling the archives of the last 30 or so years of British comedy has, for the most part, been a pleasure. I've discovered shows I didn't know existed, unearthed gems which were completely side-lined by the cultural mainstream, and reintroduced myself to the glory of the likes of Nathan Barley and Marion And Geoff. I haven't seen sunlight in days and I think I've started to develop rickets, but overall, the search has been worth it. The problem is that while pigs may become adept at snuffling for truffles in the comedy forest, they're also prone to unearth the odd heaving turd whose obscurity is likely merited. That said, these are the 10 British comedies which really need to stay buried.
Harry Alexander, Comedy To Watch, 12th October 2021Broadcast on the BBC way back in 2001, Johnny Vaughan wrote and starred in this sitcom. Unfortunately, he has to shoulder most of the blame for its failure. Telling the story of a taxi driver who is also a small-time criminal, it was panned by critics who were probably the only people watching.
