	I really should be watching more BBC America. Only got one on a guess!

	Oh, "Peep Show", you are so very brilliant. Even when your ancillary characters' accents are so thick that I can't understand them, I'm still laughing my butt off.

	Super Hans!

Comment below threshold: show it

	honest to god...i didn't get a single one. i guess that's what i get for being isolated here in the u.s.

	Steesh:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 09:27 GMT	3 points
	yeah, Super Hans! though i used to think it was Super Hands, oops. Some quality sitcoms here, suprised by no The Office, or would that not be classed as a sitcom?

	A lot harder than the first UK sitcom quiz, probably due to the inferior quality of the shows, apart from a few exceptions like Fawlty Towers, The Young Ones and One Foot In The Grave.

	Heef:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 10:38 GMT	3 points
	Gah. Was too busy moaning to myself about the exclusion (again) of the Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin to notice that Rising Damp had made it in. A slap in the face for Heef there, but somewhat deserved.

	To repeat the above comments, it needs to be changed to 'Super Hans' for Peep Show.

	Bethannie:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 11:16 GMT	1 point
	Some fantastic shows here....Citizen Smith is a classic!...and Robert Lindsey is still as hot today as he was then!

	it's mike, not mark in spaced.

	OscilatingGibbon:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 13:45 GMT	2 points
	Again, some really great shows here. Can't believe I missed Steptoe and Son!

	Father Ted is IRISH. Ok it's produced by channel 4, but it's Irish! RIP Dermot Morgan - Comic Legend

	i only got fawlty towers from knowing it but most of the others i havent heard of and im from the uk!!

	Of all the Goody-goody, lotti-dotti, namby-hoity, wishy-pamby, toity-washy, dotti-lotti, know it all, public school, stiff upper lip, stiff upper house master, prim & proper quizzes on Sporcle....ARGHH!

	chrismet:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 15:18 GMT	6 points
	Father Ted was written by two irish writers and produced by Hat Trick productions which is a UK TV production company. The interior scenes were filmed at the London Studios and outside scenes shot in Ireland. So it's part british.

	really need to change the Peep Show clue to Super Hans, he's never just referred to as Super

	Lynz:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 15:33 GMT	2 points
	wow. didnt get a single one and i call myself british.

	Rhys:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 16:31 GMT	3 points
	I recommend a show called The Inbetweeners to anyone who hasn't watched it. Funniest tv show I have ever watched.

	Alecto:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 16:46 GMT	4 points
	Yay, Spaced is on there :D Though it's Mike, not Mark.

	chrispaz:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 16:46 GMT	5 points
	Father Ted - best tv show i've ever seen. Also, Thin Blue Line was quite funny, particularly Inspector Grimm: "This is my ar$e on the line, and I don't want a ¢o¢k up, or i'll have a very red face!"

	Dear "OldHickory", really? you think?!! Next we'll be hearing comments that guessing the 50 states is too america-centric!

	loved green wing. funniest show ever?

	Ireland:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 17:27 GMT	3 points
	Who is Joan in the list of characters for Father Ted? I don't remember anyone called Joan in the show.

	Handrejka:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 17:56 GMT	6 points
	To Ireland, Joan is Mrs Doyle

	jonnywardy:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 18:51 GMT	4 points
	Couldn't spell Fawlty correctly incorrectly :(... Father Ted deserves to be on there for being so good

	jonnywardy:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 18:52 GMT	3 points
	And the 'Thick of It', cant believe i missed it, its the best poltical comedy ever, and the movie version 'In the Loop' is outstanding, esp with its US angle

	davebesag:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 19:38 GMT	2 points
	Also took me ages to work out how to spell Fawlty correctly! Of the 10 I missed I'd have only got the Young Ones and Man about the House if you've given me an hour.

	Tapestry:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 19:42 GMT	0 points
	People forget that PBS ran Fawlty Towers, Keeping up Appearances and As Time Goes By.. what happened to Our You Being Served???

Comment below threshold: show it

	sharon:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 20:13 GMT	2 points
	@Tapestry: Are You Being Served was on the 1st UK Sitcoms quiz (along with a bunch of other good ones).

	Last of the summer wine shouldn't be there, it was never, is not and never shall be in the least bit funny

	Catherine_F:	Aug 23rd, 2009 at 01:28 GMT	2 points
	Spaced yay!! I want to know exactly when Mrs Doyle's first name was mentioned in Father Ted though? My best guess is "The Mainland" where she has tea with a friend. If as I suspect it's never actually mentioned, I don't think it's really fair to include it.

	zalagreensbury:	Aug 23rd, 2009 at 03:04 GMT	4 points
	I hate my cable company for taking off BBC America from my plan I miss these shows so much.

	lavagirl:	Aug 23rd, 2009 at 05:49 GMT	2 points
	5/25 thanks to PBS

	tamazin:	Aug 23rd, 2009 at 08:41 GMT	2 points
	Firstly - a few of the shows that various users have complained are missing were present on the first britcom quiz. Secondly, for the peep show clue it needs to be changed from "super" to "super hans". thirdly, I just watched green wing through for the first time....then watched it again....can't....get....enough...

	Who is Joan in Father Ted?

	RobH:	Aug 23rd, 2009 at 14:44 GMT	4 points
	Joan is Mrs Doyle. According to wikipedia Mrs. Doyle's first name is never mentioned on the show, although it was written into one of the early scripts as Joan. The writers later decided to remove it, for the purpose of adding to the character's mystery. Whenever a character speaks her name, background noise suddenly erupts, masking whatever is being said. So, it's a nice extra - and I've found out something I didn't know about the series before. If you can't get that answer from Jack and Dougal, you can't really complain about Joan! And I notice it's been bracketed now as well, which is fair-dos (Gavin and Stacey, anyone?)

	One of those is very obscure. Had to look it up on Wiki.
