British Comedy Recommendations #1

British comedy has its place. Although not American, British comedy is wry, dry and whimsical. There are a few exceptions but for the most part, it does not disappoint. Here are few recommendations on some hilarious series worth watching.

Fawlty Towers

-Dubbed one of the best British sitcoms, this series told the story of Basil and Sybil Fawlty who run a bed and breakfast. It is one of few British comedies that is not dry. The comedy gets straight to the point and does not leave the viewer with a delayed reaction. 

*****

Yes, Minister

- A zany political satire about the inner workings of a prime minister's job. The three main characters do an outstanding job of bantering back and forth over political decisions, maneuvers and sophisticated governmental operations. The series is worth the watch.

****

Allo, Allo

- A brilliant mockery of World War II. This comedy is about a French cafe owner who allows various soldiers to stay in the cafe. The comedy lasted for ten years and received several awards.
