My favorite is Doc Martin Doc Martin is a British comedy shown on PBS on Thursday night (8pm CST). Dr. Martin Ellingham is a successful London surgeon who develops a phobia to blood and has to stop practicing surgery. He takes a post as a general practitioner in the little village of Portwenn. Ellingham is a gruff man who is not suited to life in the village. His lack of social skills and cold manner offends most everyone. This is a delightful comedy. I heartedly recommend it. It's now in its fourth season. |

Faulty Towers is my absolute favorite British comedy. There were very few episodes made and I've seen all of them dozens of times. I once saw an interview in which John Cleese said he based the Faulty character on an inn keeper he came across in his travels. |

In Response to Re: What is your favorite British Comedy: I always enjoyed Faulty Towers and I also liked Benny Hill. Posted by Scruffy24 Benny Hill was so funny, but, I had not heard of Faulty Towers. I will check it out. Have you seen the comedy, "Are You Being Served?" It is a bit outdated, but so funny to watch those extreme characters! http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/areyoubeingserved/ |

I also like "Outnumbered", a current series. It's about a family with three very verbal children. Faulty Towers first aired many years ago and is about a couple who run an Inn. Mr. Faulty is a very negative person who can't seem to do anything right. I have it on DVD and if I need a good laugh I watch it. Occasionally it's still shown on PBS stations. |
