Apart from the second series which was shit.

Obligatory list of British comedy I like:

Black Books
The IT Crowd
Green Wing (1st series)
Mighty Boosh
Snuff Box
Darkplace
Man to Man with Dean Learner
Monkey Dust
Spaced
Nighty Night
Alan Partridge

. . . and some others I forget.

I've never heard of a lot of them - I'd be tempted to download some except that The Mighty Boosh is on your good list when it's blatantly shite.
Noel Fielding's cameos on other shows promised me so much yet he delivered so little

Altho' I think I've seen Darkplace mentioned as being goodly a few times.

Darkplace has Moss from IT Crowd (and who cameos in Mighty Boosh) in it as well as the guy who takes over the company in the second series, Matt Berry. Man to Man with Dean Learner is a spin-off of Darkplace.

Snuff Box is Matt Berry again, alongside Rich Fulcher (both were also in Mighty Boosh).

Nighty Night is a dark comedy with the other one from Mighty Boosh, Julian Barrat's missus in it.

All funnier than a rabbit with aids.

Mighty Boosh rawks btw.

Didn't they actually have a rabbit with aids in that?

I'm not a big fan of Matt Berry (didn't know his name before). His way of talking in italics is kinda funny but it grates now. Moss'd make up for him tho'.

There's no torrent of Darkplace in uknova, the nzb I found is too old so I'm gonna have to get it off thebox - and my ratio sucks there

**Something Else** · 03-11-2008, 04:03 PM

Anything by Chris Morris is great.

TheDayToday
BrassEye
Nathan Barley
and a few more....

I've got it on my hard drive, I'll burn it off and get CG to post it to you.

Thanks, Chebus> Very kind of you (and CG even tho' she won't be aware of it yet)

My subconscious hinting was more for an alternative download but this is way better. Dvds in the post >*.

I had to leave a torrent open for a couple of weeks to get Darkplace. Same thing for Snuff Box. This was last year like so I have no idea on the availability now.

Nighty Night I had wanted to watch since forever when I heard about it last month, couldn't find it anywhere and then Virgin had it on their channel what you press the red button on and choose stuff to watch.
