The BBC have posted an article in which it claims The Office has come top of a poll to find the funniest TV show of all time.

Who have they been polling? Certainly not me or anybody else that truley appreciates comedy, I can assure you of that.
Whilst The Office was good, it certainly is not the best of all time.

Fawlty Towers should definitely have won this one by a clear landslide.
It is a classic, a British institution, I dare you to try and show me of a whole 30 minutes worth of non stop hilarity that is better than the Basil Fawlty “Germans” episode (pictured above).

Do the poll again in a few years when the fuss over Gervais’ show has died down and we once again start to remember the real classic comedy series.

The poll does however, reaffirm the fact that we all knew anyway, the British make the best comedy.

Apparently, Out of the top 30, 19 were British and 11 were American shows.
