Following references in the Christmas Lunch thread I thought it might be of interest to find out people's preferences comedy wise, sketch or programme.

Sketch wise I think you have to go pretty far too beat anything with John Cleese in and my favourite was always in The Secret Policeman's Ball in "Michelangelo to see the Pope". It starts immediately after Neil Innes' song in video below at 1 hour 8 minutes 42 seconds.

Two in one as one of my favourite comedy songs, if not the favourite, is from Neil Innes of Bonzo Dog Doo Da Band fame and also the Rutles for those old enough to remember. It starts at 1 hour 5 minutes 20 seconds on same video.

Best written comedy series for me was Yes, Minister or its later versions Yes, Prime Minister. The actors were brilliant and the writing superb. Example below.

I think the best play of all time was that one about a father and his son going to watch Newcastle play in Lisbon - by the way Trev when is voting for Notts Forest Headline game?
Liked early Blackadders and Yes Minister. Not as much good stuff now. Enjoy Rhod Gilberts stand-up shows.
