Eight Hilarious Episodes of BBC Comedy.
So much for the alleged 1990s "collapse" of British comedy. No one could describe a decade that generated sitcoms like 'Ab Fab', 'Bottom', and 'One Foot In The Grave', sketch shows like 'Harry Enfield And Chums', 'The Fast Show' and 'Goodness Gracious Me' and spoofs like 'The League Of Gentleman' and 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' as comedically barren.
TV's first Asian comedy, 'Goodness Gracious Me', amassed appeal across the audience spectrum. Beginning on BBC radio, together with Alan Partridge's inspired 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' and the blackly comic 'League Of Gentleman', it shows that radio was still a fertile comedy breeding ground.
