I think we have, but I suppose we have different tastes (which is fair enough). True old stuff like Faulty Towers, Black Adder, Steptoe and Son (my favs) are quite back in time, an prob even things like The Fast show, The Office, French and Saunders are abit old school now. But I thought things like 2012, The Inbetweeners and Fresh Meat have a good alternative humour to them which is more subtle and what I much prefer to more blatant humour of some shows (American or British). Nothing wrong with that brand of humour a such, as I'm sure plenty feel things like Fresh Meat is only for immature folk (which I'll admit is what I am). I think if we really applied ourselves in UK TV we could produce more things that are of a quality like Luther, Prisoners Wives, Good Cop, Inside Men, White chapel, etc (I know most Brits prob think these shows are crap in comparison to 24, and CSI).
