Most of the comedy shows you can now watch on TV started their journey on BBC radio. Examples ffor this are //Little Britian// and //Hancock's Half Hour//. Although many popular shows began their life on BBc radio, there have been many successful and influential series which were written just for TV. Some of the most successful sitcom shows from BBC include //Keeping up Appearance, Are you being served?, Yes Minister, Only Fools and Horses, Absolutely Fabulous, Blackadder, Pooridge// and //The Offic//. The BBC has had the most success in television comedy, but commercial stations have also had some success. ITV's most successful sitcoms shows were generally produced in the 1970s, including //Rising Damp, On the Buses, George and Mildred,// //Man about the Horse// and the now unfashionable //Love Thy Neighbour.// Commercial station Channel 4 has been more successful than ITV with sitcom shows in recent years. Some of the better-known examples are //Drop the Dead Donkey, Chelsmford 123, Peep show, The Inbetweeners// and //Da Ali G Show//. One of the British comedy shows that I think have gained the most success and had the most influence on comedy, are the Monty Pythons. To read more about the Pythons click here. Sources: []
