I'm willing to bet that the majority of the comedies on the list were originated by the Beeb.
Two words "My Hero" and countless other DREADFUL sitcoms. And just to make a point let's look at this evenings programming for bbc 1 & 2.

BBC 1 - A Question of sport (yawn), Top of the Pops (double yawn), Eastenders (more yawnage), My Hero (*GAG*), Comic Relief does Fame Academy (Sorry if it sounds heartless, it may well be for charity but it's still fame academy and it's still tediously boring), then the news (which I can watch on any news channel) then MORE bloody Fame Academy.

BBC 2 - Bill Oddies "How To Watch Wildlife" (wow .. I'm bristling with anticipation over this one ), Gardeners World, Timewatch, Dear Television, Grumpy old women then newsnight.

This is the sort of utter crap I fund with my license fee? It's a disgrace!
