Reply to Post 59598 by Dust in New British "comedy" The Inbetweeners is another one. On paper, it's a REALLY crude show with lots of swearing and revolting teenage brats trying desperately to get laid and act all cool. I should really hate it yet somehow it gets away with it and I bloody love it so much it's also in the DVD collection and I've yet to meet anyone I've shown it to who doesn't like it.


It works because who wasn't like that when they were 17?

Is there nothing decent on Radio 4 at the moment? The best BBC comedies all start out there.

the thick of it and peep show are the two that for me match anything from the past in both hilarity and intelligence. really enjoyed both series of inbetweeners. IT crowd has its moments. and nathan barley - scripted by the ever-reliable chris morris and charlie brooker. although the twat characters in this make more sense if you live or frequent london.

Yep, Nathan Barley is just bloody wonderful. I worked in Clerkenwell for a year and it was terrifyingly spot on!! ; )
