Have I Got News is really good. It feels like I've been watching it all my life

Goodness Gracious Me was jokes.

The Young ones and Bottom were hillarious.

Red Dwarf gets my vote though.

Have I got news for you WAS great, but I seen so many repeats, is a tad old

Dara's stand up is great, bought my old gf a DVD, really made me laf and laf and laf

Filming starts at the end of September, presumably for broadcast around November-ish. I really like the new Amstell version - though he can be quite cutting, he's not as unpleasant as Lamarr could be.

I used to love Comic Strip

Bad News, More Bad News

Didn't you kill my brother, Supergrass, Mr Jolly Lives Next Door, The Yob, The Bullshitters

were some of my favourites

and 'Detectives on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown' which was shown back in 1993 was pure class

Stand up wise I love Russell Howard, Bill Baily and Eddie Izzard.
oh god no, not QI, whatshisface doesnt shut the fuck up and let anyone else speak

russel howard is a funny man, so 2 is bill bailey, he always takes a keyboard on stage doesnt he?
Keyboard/Guitar. With his live shows he has a proper set up with visuals and samplers as well. Really funny.

Can't understand the lack of love for QI. I suppose panel shows are only as good as the guests but when they have good peeps on its amazing.
Agree, the guests are the major part, i dont mind QI, just the host gets on my nerves a tad..

Tomity & elBe do you like Have I Got News For You?

same goes for father ted.
