I agree with Dave (KQ 45) Father Ted should've been in the top ten.
I dont know why Vicar of Dibley is on that list. It isnt funny at all.
For #1?
Blackadder or Fawlty Towers.
I'd chose Fawlty Towers.

All of the programmes are BBC productions and after each "celeb" has done their bit for the show a classic episode of the sit-com is shown straight after. Can't see BBC getting the rights to show Father Ted so it obviously a fix. That's why Open All Hours is in it and The Vicar of Dibley.
Its a complete farce.

M*A*S*H?
Cheers?
Roseanne?
Red Dwarf?
Only Fools And Horses isn't a sitcom.

It's the Top 10 UK Sitcoms, PG, so three of the ones you mentioned wouldn't even be eligible.
heh, and we alllll know and love Red Dwarf.

Bottom should be in the Top Ten, surely.
"situation comedy" (sitcom)

PG, how does OFAH not qualify as a sitcom based on this definition?

I think the suggestion was that it's not funny.
Me, I quite like it, up until 1996 anyway.

It ceased to be funny a long time ago, and is more often referred to as a "comedy drama".
It may be technically a sitcom, but I'd argue that the definition needs changing to allow for a strict "30 minute episode" rule. Anything longer than 30 minutes is not a "pure" sitcom.
Or something.

I have to say I've never heard it referred to as a comedy drama. Certainly there's been no debate as to the validity of its inclusion on the TV boards I knock around. Not that this is a definitive verdict, of course.
Forget all the others.
The Winner should be YES MINISTER.
Alas, i fear the Great British public will go for OFAH or FT. That's because they're too stupid to recognise the difference between what's the most popular and what's the best.

I watched a very good comedy last night. Director's Commentary with Rob Brydon was very good. The most suprising thing that it was on ITV home of "When Celebrity Tramps attack in the Jungle"
