I've always wondered why the bbc buried the excellent 15 stories high with Shaun lock and Benedict Wong. Only shown a couple of times then disappeared.
Someone mentioned Rev, well I'd most definitely second that. However I have to counter it by saying it's more a "mocumentary" than Comedy. Not there aren't moments of Comedy, fir sure it had me giggling, but actually I got right into the charactors and sort of Lived a Life Through Their Eyes kinda ting.
Ended up buying the Box Series off iTunes and have since watched them 3 times.
I do wonder if they'll do more ?
But, on the plus side, 'Still Game' may be getting another series:

On R4 6.30 slot: John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme (similar kind of sketch comedy as Mitchell and Webb)
A big +1. The Hunchback of Notre Dame sketch made me commit the cardinal "laugh out loud whilst wearing headphones" offence.
and the Now Show are about the only funny things left on Radio 4.
Write a weak gag with a punchline that is obvious and gets the audience laugh half way through the set up. Then deliver the punchline. Then do a 30 second sketch repeating/labouring the punchline. Shoehorn a second rate impression into it as youve got an impressionist on the team.
And repeat.
Enjoyed Paul Sinha's History Revision stuff as much for the research and educational stuff as the humour.
