Once in every lifetime, comes a love like this,
Oh I need you, you need me,
Oh my darling can't you see. Young Ones.
Darling we're the Young Ones. Young Ones.
Shouldn't be afraid. To live, love, there's a song to be sung.
Cause we may not be the Young Ones very long.

How has nobody mentioned Black Books yet? Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey are geniuses.

Ah yeah that is a good one.

As a recent one IT crowd was fairly good, remembering off the top of my head, but not a scratch on oldie Faulty Towers. I'm not usually one who only praises the old days but Faulty Towers is just incredible.

Only Fools and Horses, but pretty much only the first few series. Grandad was better than Albert, anyway.

As i'm young, I haven't seen many of the decent old sitcoms, so i'll have to go with only fools and horses.

Brian Blessed is ace, and that episode with the Scottish bloke is good, but it's mostly shit, yeah.

Albert has that one episode where he falls down the hole, though, which is brilliant. But yeah, on the whole Grandad is better.

If you'd asked what British comedyseries I love the most I'd say Little Brittain. I don't know alot of English sitcoms.

Can Father Ted be included? It's Irish comedy rather than British. I'm pretty sure the fictional Craggy Island isn't part of Northern Ireland but still close enough.

If Red Dwarf counts as a sitcom, Red dwarf.

If not, then the Young Ones.
