Umm, sorry to be picky, but in fact Little Britain began as a sketch show on Radio 4. Back then (in them good ol' days) I found it to be much funnier. Same goes for Dead Ringers, whose cast mostly sound like the people they're impersonating but often fall short of actually looking like them!
Huh, and MB on the QVC channel, eh? Yah boo.
