British Comedy: Peep Show / Green Wing ? Hi there. Im a bit out of touch with British tv of late. Im wanting to buy a british comedy series on dvd being stuck indoors due to illness.
Contemplating Peep Show or Green Wing after looking around on amazon. Does anyone have opinions about these or have any suggestions for any other series ? My lastest purchases are Shameless (series 1 to 3, though only seen the first two so far) and Early Doors 1 & 2. I thought Shameless was the best Id seen on tv ever, Early Doors not bad (ie Royale Family in a pub). Though The Office and Extras were pretty good. My faves from the US are of course Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiam. Any tips ? | |

If you like Peep Show you'll like Green Wing. Personally, I dont like either of them!
But then I don't like Shameless either, so I think you probably will like them I guess its just a wierd kind of humour I dont really like.... Hope that helps! | |

Green wing and peep show are both fucking great. I love mitchell and web; the guys who star in peep show, and I love green wing's fucked up sense of humour. | |

Never seen Green Wing but like Peep Show. I've also become addicted to Little Britain and the Catherine Tate Show (yes, i'm still a newbie here in the UK) "be glad that you are free, many a man is not" | |

Dunno which one we're going to choose to open, then we'll close with the galaxy song sketch (when idle takes the old bint through space whilst singing to her) - and we're gonna take the judge of the competition for a walk instead. and then fucking hammer is face in. | |
