The Fast Show

The Fast Show (1994)

The Fast Show

Full of one-liners and running gags that sent up most forms of stereotypical British society, The Fast Show was pure sketch-comedy gold

Fat Friends

Fat Friends (2000)

Fat Friends

They're all shapes and sizes and come from different walks of life, but there's something which unites them all - issues with weight. Laugh-out-loud comedy drama set in a local slimming club, Fat Friends treads a line between comedy and drama exceptionally well

Fawlty Towers (1976)

As quintessentially British as the location for its deceptively simple, but brilliantly effective premise, Fawlty Towers ranks as one of the most consistently hilarious thirty-minutes of comedy to have ever graced the television screen.
