	I wish I knew more of these shows because I really enjoy the ones I do know.

	Oh Blackadder. How I love you.

	Big Train! I love how these aren't the most obvious choices.

	Big Train on the front page of sporcle? A miracle!

	For the 60+% of you who didn't get Father Ted, check out the DVDs. You won't be disappointed.

	@RebeccaAMax I too am disappointed not to see Coupling on there

	aardvark:	May 4th, 2010 at 05:28 GMT		0 points
	Inbetweeners is perhaps the best show ever!

	@RebeccaAMax and @jewsus Coupling is amazing, and was on air twice as long as many of the shows used in this quiz.

	I'm glad this quiz was published. Now there will be more fellow Americans to bring down the average, thus making my score look better.

	Got 11! Thanks, BBC-America!

	Got 16, and I live in the UK. Shameful really. strange not to see Little Britain or The IT Crowd..

	ChestRockwell:	May 4th, 2010 at 07:27 GMT		2 points
	Love The Mighty Boosh. I feel like I've seen Absolutely Fabulous before on American TV. Don't know where I would have seen it though...

	It comes to something when you can pick not just the show but the episode as well - Father Ted, I'm looking at you. Cool quiz, lots of my favourite shows there and lots of room for sequels too. And I have to repeat what ZapRowsdower said about Father Ted.

	Is there a difference between "Peep Show" and "That Mitchell and Webb Look"? That Mitchell and Webb Look airs here in the US on BBC America, it's one of my favorite shows. I was wondering why it wasn't accepting that for an answer.

	tamazin:	May 4th, 2010 at 07:47 GMT		6 points
	@voovits: Yes, they are two entirely seperate programs. That Mitchell and Webb look is, as you know, sketch comedy, while Peep Show is a situation comedy. David Mitchell and Robert Webb are comedy partners, and have work together......there was also a tv series called "that mitchell and webb situation" that predeceeded "that mitchell and webb look", as well as a radio series called "that mitchell and webb sound". They pair is also Britains answer to the "i'm a mac" "i'm a pc" ads that are popular in the states/canada with Justin Long and John Hodgman.....3 guesses as to which actor plays the PC in the UK. I actually really enjoy the British versions of the commercial, check it out on youtube!

	Shamefully missing in action: Little Britain, Vicar of Dibley and The Office (I mean come on, you had Extras). Having said that, super-duper kudos for putting in The Boosh and Red Dwarf.

	@tamazin surly don't need 3 guesses as there is only two of them.

	mardot:	May 4th, 2010 at 08:13 GMT		5 points
	So happy to see Red Dwarf and Fawlty Towers; two of my fav Brit coms!!

	definitely a really good spread (kudos for incl. alan partridge!) i think you should have accepted brass eye too, as it is pretty difficult to distinguish (and i didn't get the answer!). also for some i think there is a question mark at least over whether they are british or irish. not really sure what makes a comedy one or the other, the writers, producers, network first shown on?

	Excellent Quiz, nice to see a UK based one for a change, most difficult one I thought was Nathan Barley.

	AHAAAA!

	McPants:	May 4th, 2010 at 10:04 GMT		4 points
	Great quiz! Only missed Nathan Barley, which I haven't ever seen. Can't believe Phoenix Nights made it on, I thought I was the only one who loved that show.

	RGJ:	May 4th, 2010 at 10:36 GMT		4 points
	Ha what an amazing quiz, was so impressed to see Nathan Barley represented here, that is so weapon! Many of my favourite shows included, definitely room for a sequel: Garth Marenghi's Dark Place and How not to live your life, for starters.
