This round sorted the wheat from the chaff, the frontrunners from the also rans, the Ulloas from the Obikas, if you will. I think we're down to the genuine contenders now: Votes then percentages shown. Match 1 === The Young Ones 87 (55.14%) Yes, Minister/Prime Minister 70 (44.59%) === Match...

Finishing up the Round of 16 with what may be the closest match up of the round... Porridge Made top place in Group H, perhaps partly due to a vote split between Peep Show and Inbetweeners. Odds on to be the group winner least likely to get through. vs Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights...

The Office Hoping to see this make the semis and beyond. Here goes... vs Men Behaving Badly Would've liked to see this up against Father Ted, as it amassed more points in the Group stage than the aforementioned show. Probably time to say goodbye to Gary & Tony.

Only Fools & Horses Slightly slow to get off the mark, didn't manage 100 points in the group stage. Should start to pick up pace here. vs Black Books Oh dear. Nice knowing you, Bernard and Manny.

Father Ted Did well to struggle manfully through a weak group, this could be an interesting test for Father O'Malley or whatever his name is. Feck Arse etc. vs The Thick Of It Two very different comedies here (i.e. one of them is quite intelligent), could both see a fair few votes...

Blackadder Top scorer in the tournament so far, fans will hope that The Inbetweeners doesn't pose much obstacle. vs The Inbetweeners Surprised a number of people by comfortably bettering Peep Show and The League Of Gentlemen, two very strong comedies. Just a few more votes would've meant...

I'm Alan Partridge Another show with thoughts already on the quarters and hopefully beyond. vs Bottom Scraped through Group G by 1 point, even so it would hope to give Farters Parters a good battle.

Fawlty Towers Shouldn't struggle against the Dwarf....should it? vs Red Dwarf Performed surprisingly well in Group F, but coming 2nd always runs the risk of facing a heavyweight. Basil and co., will prove too much, surely? VOTE!

Head to head knockout now. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. The Young Ones A strong showing in the group and would hope to get through this without too much fatigue. vs. Yes, Minister/Prime Minister Will be pleased to have made it through to the last 16 but is this goodnight for the...

6th place would be IN OUR HANDS.

Right, let's get on with it. I'm going with the format - Winner A vs Runner Up E, Winner B vs Runner Up F etc, following onto Winner E vs Runner Up A. With that in mind, here are the matchups for the UK Comedy Cup 2014 Round of 16: The Young Ones vs Yes, Minister/Prime Minister Fawlty...

Drama abounded in the group stages, with a couple of pre-tournament contenders crashing out early. Number of votes shown, then percentage of votes shown in brackets. Group A saw an easy win for The Young Ones, with Spaced putting up a spirited fight for 2nd, but losing out to The Thick Of...

Final group, and it's an absolute STONKER. Any of these could make the round of 16, and all are worthy of their place in this competition. The Group of DEATH is here!! Group H Porridge Some deem it a classic, others think it's only average. Some great characters and set pieces in there...

Group G Strong group in my opinion. Remember TWO go through, vote tactically if needed. The Office No real intro needed - surely everyone knows what this is about by now? The Christmas Special transcended pure comedy and delivered one of the best dramatic TV episodes of the past 15 years...

Remember: TWO comedies go through from each group, so vote tactically if required. Group F Only Fools & Horses Don't underestimate this one for even a second. A LOT of fans on here and definitely a contender. On the negative side it ran for a long time so quality was variable, and many feel...

Right, groups E through H tonight, starting with E. Remember: TWO comedies progress from each group, so vote tactically if necessary. Group E Father Ted Inexplicably popular wacky sitcom with two slightly funny characters, and two that could easily be from Mrs Brown's Boys. Still, each to...

How they selling? Expecting a sell out or unlikely as on TV (well, BT Sport)...

Final group for tonight. ***ATTENTION*** PLEASE NOTE THAT TWO COMEDIES PROGRESS FROM EACH GROUP. So think before you vote. If you know one comedy is going to make it, perhaps show your support to your second favourite? Group D Blackadder A very strong contender and would hope to make the...

3rd group of 4 going up tonight. ONE vote per group. Choose wisely. Post quotes/videos etc. TWO comedies go through from each group, so think before you vote. Group C I'm Alan Partridge* A modern classic. Had a SUPERB ding dong battle with The Office in a preliminary friendly. Could go...

Second of 4 groups going up tonight. As ever it's ONE vote per group, so choose wisely. Feel free to post quotes/videos to support your chosen comedy. TWO comedies go through from each group, so think before you vote. Group B Fawlty Towers Highly revered, exceptionally well-written sitcom...
