Comments

Thomas McDonald

Voting for Nathan Barley, but I'm already prepping myself for the "it predicted the future" comments, despite it obviously satirising something that already existed (which happens with every piece of intelligent satire ever made).

The Puzzler 99

I went for Going Straight the spin off to Portidge

MindTheAxe

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy isn't a comedy by any stretch but it's a really good show for set, costume and even effects. It's a really great and well made show.

Charlie

Weirdly it was actually criticised at the time for being dated. I think it's less that it predicted the future because as you say, that creative industry gentrification was already well underway in 2005, and more that it went supernova afterwards and entered the realms of self-parody. And it's probably dated again now, because places like Shoreditch and Hoxton and Dalston have become so fashionable that they're almost passé, and are no longer filled with art studios, cereal cafés, and hipsters, and more with Gail's, luxury flats, and tourists and red-faced, coked-up Essex boys.

TheIrishOtaku

I really like Upstart Crow personally. While not as funny as Blackadder its still quite amusing and I enjoyed the references to Shakespearian drama littered throughout the series. It seems unlikely to win this time around but I'm glad to see its making a pretty decent showing regardless.

Colin Bayley

How is it not a comedy? It has jokes in it and the situations and plot are ridiculous. What counts as a comedy in your eyes?

MindTheAxe

Its not a traditional comedy as in its a scifi satire so saying it's not a comedy might have been a little broad it's definitely not a show where the primarily purpose is to create laughs as much as entertain overall. If that makes sense, the radio show and books while they differ avoid the slap stick and predictable humour that many comedies will implement to fill time.
