I was browsing hulu yesterday in search of something new and found a British comedy called Bluestone 42. Its about a Brit eod team in Afghanistan. Gave it a watch and it actually turned out to be really funny. Makes me wonder if theres any other UK comedy shows worth watching. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I also rediscovered Red Dwarf. I thought it was finished in the 90s, turns out it still technically in production so there were some new to me episodes I watched. Another good one. |

Jesus the list is endless. So much good Brit humor, so much better than 90% of American comedies. To add to the list: Yes minister A bit of Fry and Laurie Monty Python (duh) In the loop (on Netflix) Coupling I can't think of any more but there are tons. You forgot the sequel to "Yes, Minister", "Yes, Prime Minister"! 
There's also the original show that House of Cards is based on. I don't remember the name but it was full of dark comedy. It has two sequels, "To Play the King" and "The Final Cut".
Also, "Last of the Summer Wine" if for nothing else, the stunning scenery and architecture of rural England. "Keeping Up Appearances" for a glimpse of Brit class hatred. |

It probably helps a bit to have more understanding of the context of the time, of course, much like the American version.Can't believe Dad's Army hasn't been mentioned yet. Allo Allo also for it's flagrant pisstaking of all things European! |
