I know someone will come along and ask about 'the office' or something like that... I didn't put it in because it didn't seem to fit in the same classification as the rest.

Monty Python's not a sitcom! It's a sketch show.

No Rab C Nessbit, Still Game etc. The BBC has an English bias imo.

Are you sure. I realise the Richard Wilson was born here but Victor Meldrew's wife is English i think. I think they got a Scottish actor to reinforce the stereotype of the Scottish as being whinging misers so im not impressed. It also seems to be a running theme in English television that every Scottish or Irish character is either a tramp or a criminal or both.
