And very modern they are too *sarcasm* although I really do like Fawlty Towers

actually phoenix nights, look around you and brass eye are all from the past few years, i did enjoy armando iannuci's time trumpet yesterday - new series. the first series of little britain was good, to go off track later with jools holland is a fantastic music series, later with jonathan ross is a great chat show...and the film one he does.

british tv would be miles better if the tv companies forgot about reality tv and makeover shows and just tried to make something original...

[TheMailman]

Exactly, love island wtf is that? because they're celebrities I do like Jonathan Ross show though, that is good, I think it would be good if they changed sets and made it similar to Jay Leno's by having like Canary Wharf and London in the background at night

I totally agree with you on that one Mighty_Modders

Reality TV really gets on my nerves too. But I guess it all goes in cycles really, as a few years ago it was all DIY-type shows, and food shows. After all, I suppose somebody must be watching them Just not us

All the good shows are old shows thogh. I can't think of anything that's on right now which is brilliant - except Jimmy's Farm, which is comedy genius but not really a sitcom

[scaarr]

Blackadder, OpenAll hours, fawlty towers, the old ones are the best.

I love Blackadder, the last episode is a classic. I also hope 'Look Around You' comes back for another series, that was just hilarious!

Fawlty Towers was really funny, especially that bit where he attacks the car with the branch

That's about it really

No one can beat British humour and sarcasm. Brits are hilarious when it comes to comdey.

Hi Paul,

it actually depends on the comedian. What I like is so-called sophisticated comedy by cabaret artist who work up politics, immigration problems, etc.

I'm friend with Hennes Bender, a very fine comedian who's won the Cologne Comedy Cup in 2001 and the German Comedy Award in 2004. You can visit his website here: http://www.hennesbender.de

I do also like Kurt Krömer (http://www.kurtkroemer.de), Bülent Ceylan (http://www.buelent-ceylan.de), Michael Mittermeier (http://www.mittermeier.de), Mario Barth (http://www.mario-barth.de), Dr. Stratmann (http://www.doktor-stratmann.de) and Oliver Pocher (http://www.oliverpocher.de) very much as well as the tv show "Mitternachtsspitzen" (http://www.wdr.de/comedy/mitternachtsspitzen).

What comedians do you like to see live on stage?

Best,
Stephan
