Recently purchased the remake of the Hitch Hikers Guide on UMD for the PSP.

Hilarious and equally as good as the original imho.

Good work by Steven Fry as "the guide"

I'm sure I've seen Bill Bailey do a Kraftwerk skit at the end of one of his live shows. It's Kraftwerk doing the hockey-cockey I think. Bl**dy hilarious.

Bottom has not aged well and to think its only about 15 years old. I was at the live show in 1994 and thought it was amazing but watching them recently I thought they were kick poor. good in the day though

For me it has to be Still Game. Bought the complete box set recently at a good price and I've been laughing ever since....

Not sure if or how well it travels outside Scotland...

Love Still Game, hilarious

Not sure if it was transmitted down south.

Also like SOME of Chewin' the Fat, the show it spun off from, especially "The Actor" - Ronald Viliers

, The Lighthouse Keepers and the assorted weegie Neds.

All good stuff...

.... although I'm not sure there will be any more Still Game... apparently Hemphill and Keirnan fell out a while ago, so it's looking unlikely....

Still Game was brilliant. I do also like Peter Kay...and for once so does me other half.

#1 for me is the Goons

But would like to add Dave Allen - could sure tell a tale & some great quick sketches

More recently, Arrested Develpment is extraordinarily funny & clever with it
