UK Comedy Cup - Group B

[Mellotron]

Second of 4 groups going up tonight. As ever it's ONE vote per group, so choose wisely. Feel free to post quotes/videos to support your chosen comedy.

TWO comedies go through from each group, so think before you vote.

Group B

Fawlty Towers

Highly revered, exceptionally well-written sitcom. Some tip it for the ultimate prize. Shouldn't have any problems with this group.


Black Books

Likely to share a number of fans with Spaced, due to a similar cast and slightly surreal feel (at times). Would hope to nestle into 2nd place.


Green Wing

Channel 4 medical based sitcom. About as much as I can tell you, as haven't watched it.


Lead Balloon

Subtle and well acted, if not laugh out loud comedy. Would be delighted to get through.​

 

[Bean]

Only one winner here

 

[The Modfather]

Shame Fawlty Towers & Black Books are in the same group, but its got to be Fawlty Towers.

 

[Mellotron]

TWO go through from each group, just like the World Cup...

 

[Braders]

Fawlty for me from this one

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Fawlty Towers are a best priced 1/10 with Bet Victor for this group

 

[Mowgli37]

I can honestly say I've never heard of the last three

 

[Jbanged]

Faulty, easy walk

 

[Frutos]

Fawlty Towers, no contest whatsoever for me.

 

[Beach Hut]

No brainer this group

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Faulty, easy walk

Mrs Richards: "Faulty? What's wrong with him?"

 

[brakespear]

Fawlty is having a shrimp-style group here.

 

[joeinbrighton]

As much as I really like Lead Balloon and also enjoyed Black Books, this simply has to be Fawlty Towers.

 

[poidy]

Fawlty Towers

 

[Albion_Dave]

Flowery Twats by a landslide.

 

[super-seagulls]

I like all of these options.
None should be chosen in front of mantis shrimp-like Fawlty Towers, but i'm going to choose Green Wing if only because of the op's lack of knowledge. Green Wing was made by the same team, I believe that made Big Train.
I really enjoyed watching Black Books, but it is probably not for everyone!
Lead Balloon is just Jack Dee being Jack Dee, which is funny, but not funny enough to get through this group.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I don't know the last three, and I think Fawlty Towers is wildly overrated. I'm abstaining

Correct, although compared to the other three it is the only one that deserves to be in the competition. This is a weak group. I've gone for Lead Balloon but am aware it has no chance.

Get behind Green Wing, it's a hidden gem.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Poor group.
