One of the great things about British sit-coms is that each season has so few episodes, 6-10 per season, that the writers can really select their best work, construct their strongest stories and dialogue.

One of the bad things about British sit-coms is that because each season has so few episode, we the viewers/fans really want more! But, alas, we know we won’t get any more.

I’d place all four “Blackadder” series (even the weaker first season) along with “Fawlty Towers”, “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” and “The Office” (the REAL “The Office” series) as not only the best British TV series of all time but I’d place them along with the best for ALL TV series.
