    I remember when CH4 would do proper "Greatest Ever..." shows.


    'Greatest Ever CH4 Comedy', does seem against the spirit of this type of thing.

    It's like the US World Series. USA wins again!

    Seems to be a hell of a lot on Star Stories. I never watched it and I can see why.

    Thinking to how they aired an ep of Chelmsford 123 over that fortnight - how GOOD C4 used to be under Jeremy Isaacs...

    Father Ted is a shoo in to win this.

    Although if we're talking ground breaking television it should really be Brass Eye (which had better be in the top 5 if not no.1)

    I've heard Phoneshop is good before now, never seen it though.

    Always been my dream to see Ben Miller's cock, too. -_-

    I was tempted to watch for those but could not face the prospect of the rest of Channel 4's allegedly comedy output. Never been a fan of Father Ted, it always seems the same couple of jokes every week.

    :eek: the same couple of jokes? that's one thing I never thought i'd hear about Father Ted! No two episodes are remotely similar!

    I hope Drop the Dead Donkey is in the top 5.

    I feel very old, I've never seen half the shows they've mentioned so far!

    If they're extending it to comedy-drama - hopefully Teachers will be in there somewhere...

    I've never watched drop the dead donkey because the title always put me off, having seen it now it looks hilarious. I can't wait to watch some more

    Me too. I'm definitely going to watch a few episodes of DTDD and The Adam and Joe Show on 4OD. They look great!

    No chance are there 15 shows better than Drop The Dead Donkey. The 2 minutes of snippets was genius.

    Dread to think of what as beaten it.

    Ugh I hate hate hate trigger happy TV! This is the one programme so far that I think shouldn't be on the list at all.

    'Whose Line Is It Anyway' deserves to be included at some point.
