Round of 16 - Match SIX === Spicy. I'm Alan Partridge - 1997-2002, 12 episodes For me, a stone cold classic. A stronger first series IMO, but both are still top level comedy. The only representation for Alan at this tournament, despite some wonderful moments in Mid Morning Matters and This...

Round of 16 - Match FIVE === This may be severely unprofessional, but I cannot pretend to care about this match up. A show I've never watched against a show I think has dated badly. Not The Nine O'Clock News - 1979-1982, 29 episodes I don't really know anything about this show. Finished top...

Round of 16 - Match FOUR === This might be too much for Fletch. Blackadder (all series) - 1982-1999, 26 episodes An absolute institution of a comedy. A bookies favourite pre-tournament. No further comment necessary. === VS === Porridge - 1974-1977, 20 episodes Norman Stanley Fletcher...

Round of 16 - Match THREE === The Inbetweeners - 2008-2010, 18 episodes Just squeaked ahead of Porridge to top Group C. I'm really intrigued by this match up, as I don't really have a dog in the fight, not being a massive fan of either comedy. I have a feeling this might be a close one. ===...

Round of 16 - Match TWO === Father Ted - 1995-1998, 25 episodes Highly popular comedy from the Emerald Isle. Will most likely walk this. === VS === The Detectorists - 2014-2022, 20 episodes Gentle, warm, quaint, a show that glorifies in the mundanity of small-town life...

Round of 16 - Match ONE === Flowery Twats - 1975-1979, 12 episodes An absolute colossus of a show. John Cleese heads up one of the most tightly written sitcoms of all time. Needs no further introduction. === VS === The Royle Family - 1998-2012, 25 episodes An incredibly warm, earthy...

Well there you have it. Fawlty Towers, Father Ted & Blackadder all smashing their respective groups and looking like early front runners. Not particularly surprised to see the Bottom 3 vote-gatherers as they are, relatively niche shows - I'm a big fan of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, but I'm...

I did warn you. On the day of the Marseilles game, I have to go up to London in the morning (from Angmering, but can be Arundel if somehow makes things easier) via train to Victoria, then later I need to head back down from Victoria to BRIGHTON (around 4pm), for the bloody old footy. How do I...

Sorry this is VERY Mumsnet, but wanted to know if anyone had advice on best places to look, deals/bargains being found anywhere? Mellotron Jnr has his heart set on a Nintendo Switch - buying new is a bit steep for our budget, but used on Facebook Marketplace brings scammers and all sorts of...

With the draw just 9 days away, I'm now officially getting excited for this. How far can England go? France arguably the team to beat for any side with designs on winning the competition. Anyone here planning on going?

UK Comedy Cup 2023 - Nominations Thread Attempted this back in 2014 but never finished it, and to stop it being a regret I take to my grave I am resurrecting this competition now (well, following completion of @stewart12 's wonderful Albion Fantasy World Cup anyway). 9 years on and with many...
