Hi, I'm trying to compile a list of alternative British comedy from the 90s onwards. I'm specifically looking for ALTERNATIVE style shows and they must be BRITISH. The list I've compiled so far should give you an idea of the style I'm looking for. To give you some idea, I've not included great shows like Early Doors and The Royle Family or things like Coupling because they're far closer to traditional sitcoms that the sort of material I'm looking for. Still, if you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to add them. Here's my current list:

Dunno whether you'll see this, but: I think ABSOLUTE POWER (2003) was clever enough and different-enough-from-the-norm to be added to the list.
Likewise MURDER MOST HORRID.
