The REAL Best British Sitcom- RESULTS!

After the travesty that was the final of the BBC Best Sitcom, I thought it was time to set the world to rights

For reference the BBC 11-100 are here
www.bbc.co.uk/sitcom/top11to100.shtml

and the 1-10 are here:
www.bbc.co.uk/sitcom/top10.shtml

Dont forget the great comedies that didnt make the list

We want your vote for TOP 5 (in order) and remember no American ones, and no sketch shows!

Whistler "I wonder wonder why the wonder falls. I wonder why the wonder falls on me. I wonder wonder why the wonder falls, with everything I touch and hear and see."

Erm, why is it a travesty when the public voted? I can't argue with the final two, or the eventual winner. That's not to say I am not a fan of any of the final ten because they are all great in their way. It's hard to argue with a show that, up to recently, was consistently funny over twenty years.

So what did win then? That site just seems to give the top 10 in no particular order...

Byron "Live. Grow stronger. Fight another day."

Toughie. Trying to be halfway objective, I've used the criteria of best sitation, and most assured blend of comedy and pathos (special exception for Father Ted on grounds of being funny as feck).

Running first to last:

Yes, Minister
The Book Group
Father Ted
Blackadder
The Office
