Title: Decent Current UK Comedy Shows

What do we think? ARE there any on at the moment?

Personally, I love "Gavin and Stacey" (even if James Corden comes across like the bastard arrogant cunt hybrid of Chris Moyle and Robbie Williams) and "Pulling".

But I can't think of any others that I would even turn over for, let alone have a laugh at.

None! I'm not even that keen on "Gavin and Stacey" really. I enjoy it and it's very watchable, but it's far from a classic. I absolutely LOVE "The Smoking Room", but I haven't seen any new series in ages.

The only sitcom that I've enjoyed over the past few months has been "30 Rock", but it's from the US!

Well, given UK legislation now, "The Smoking Room" is impossible to film. Unless, of course, it was renamed "The Behind the Shed at the Back of Yard Out of Customer View Where You Can Have a Fly Fag ... Area".

I only watch Gavin and Stacey and The Inbetweeners which is the funniest thing E4 have EVER made.

I've never heard of The Inbetweeners.

I think that time has passed.... there hasn't been a good one for a long while

Even though I enjoyed a lot of moments on The I.T. Crowd

Oh I thought that was *abysmal*!!

I think it's because Lee works a lot with computers (building them and technical stuff)... and some of humour is quite geeky

The kind of half-cast guy would be cute if he didn't have that hairdo.
