Special: Britain's Best Sitcom
Listen now
Description
It's not quite time for the second series of Britcom Goes to the Movies yet, but in the meantime, we've prepared a top ten British sitcoms special.In 2004 Jonathan Ross hosted Britain's Best Sitcom on the BBC. Audiences were polled on their favourite British sitcom. A top 50 list was compiled, episode one rattled through numbers 50-11 at a dismissive pace and then audiences were polled once again on the top ten.This time, each sitcom from the top ten had it's own celebrity advocate who would try to persuade you to vote for their favourite. Ranging from Carol Vorderman to David Dickinson. So like a French Presidential run-off (but with few fascists), voters were asked to choose again from a smaller sample.Rob and Guy discuss this poll, the accompanying show, and then after, run down their top 10 British sitcoms. Who (if at all) do you agree with?
