UK Comedy Cup 2014 - QUARTER FINALS DRAW

[Mellotron]

After much deliberation, I have decided to stick with the same 1 v 5, 2 v 6, 3 v 7, 4 v 8 format as the last round.

Therefore...

Quarter Final ONE

The Young Ones vs. Father Ted Live - ITV4

Cripes. Two of the weaker comedies still in the competition in my humble opinion. Could be a close one.

===

Quarter Final TWO

Fawlty Towers vs. Only Fools & Horses. Live - Sky Sports 1

Wow. Massive, just massive. Some may piss and moan suggesting this should be the final, but what a spectacle we have here.

===

Quarter Final THREE

I'm Alan Partridge vs. The Office Live - ITV1

Another absolute blockbuster. Will pain many people to choose between these 2 at this stage. Partridge narrowly won a superb pre-tournament friendly, can it repeat the feat?

===

Quarter Final FOUR

Blackadder vs Porridge Live - Sky Sports 2

The most one-sided tie in my opinion.

​

Will get them underway shortly.

QF Two is already giving me the SWEATS. What. A. Tie.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Quarter Final Three would have been a worthy final.

 

[Badger]

FFS, does this mean we'll have Peter Drury and Andy Townsend commentating on the tie of the round?

 

[Mowgli37]

Come on Alan!!

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Quarter Final Three would have been a worthy final.

Strange thing personal taste - QF 3 contains the two shows I definitely would never watch again.

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

What a chance for the relative minnows of Father Ted and The Young Ones to make an unlikely appearance at Wembley. With no league to worry about, there shouldn't be any misguided, disgruntled fans moaning about a 'weak' side being fielded.

I can see QF2 getting postponed, there is a pitch inspection going on in TORBAY but more rain overnight has made it quite waterlogged.

BT Sport paid £250,000 to show the tie between Father Ted and The Young Ones, so why do you have it listed on ITV4?

Porridge will turn over Blackadder

And last. Blackadder's the highest scorer in the entire tournament so far.

This is like the FA cup with the four best playing each other.

Everyone keeps saying things like this, only each time they're referring to different shows to each other. Quite amusing.

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

I seem to have missed the entire group stage, so who is looking like the favourite for the title? If I was trying to predict what NSC will decide, I'd say the winner of QF3 has a great chance of winning the whole thing.

I thought the same at the start, but now I've seen the extent of the Blackadder following on here I've changed my mind.

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Blackadder would be a poor winner in my opinion. Presuming the draw for the SFs is the same, it'll mean QF1 plays QF3, which is effectively a bye to the final for the winner of Alan Partridge v The Office. Blackadder is going to have a very tough SF against Only Fools and Horses or Fawlty Towers. As I said, I haven't seen any of the group stages, but I presume both of these are very popular with the voters? I'm not particularly a fan, but I can see ALAN doing this.

I think it'll end up Fawlty Towers against Blackadder in the semi which will undoubtedly be tight, but as [MENTION=12101]Mellotron[/MENTION] has stated above Blackadder has amassed the most votes so far. If it gets through the semi it's up against a different style of sitcom in AP/The Office. In a match like that it becomes a clash of styles and you'll get people voting Blackadder who aren't necessarily a big fan of it, but against the style of AP/The Office. Whatever happens it'll be a fantastic end to the tournament.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Blackadder should win..... and it will..... must admit never really got Ap and Offive I found very difficult to watch as it as so close to the truth... never been treally inot 'reality' comedy. Thas why Im so enjoying House of Fools..... possible contender for next year?
