    it's pretty pathetic the amount of irish people who'll fall over themselves trying to claim a british tv show as an irish sensation.

    I do struggle to think of a sit-com better than it.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    It IS an Irish show. Jesus christ everything about it is Irish, just because it was on channel 4 doesn't make it any less Irish.

    Sure didn't the writers go to RTE first with it and they told them to feck off(see what I did there, mega lolz).

    Obviously you have all forgotten the brilliance of "Upwardly Mobile"

    That was that show about a couple who had won the lotto right? Joe Savino was in it?

    Ah yeah, it was definitely the best Irish comedy show ever. Best British comedy you could argue Monthy Python, Only Fools, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, Peep Show, Fast Show...

    Father Ted is the best Irish comedy show by a county mile

    Fawlty Towers, The Phil Silvers show, Blackadder goes Forth, Cheers, The Larry Sanders show, Curb your enthusiasm, The Office...struggling after that.

    It was an Irish show aimed at teenagers. Don't think he was in it.

    at the recent student protest in dublin there was obviously many signs but about a third of them were two people holding separate signs saying....down with this sort of thing....careful now:D

    The "DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING!" "CAREFUL NOW!" combo is a mainstay at protests, there's always one or two. I think poor Graham Linehan's head is probably wrecked with people sending him photos of them.

    That said, I was well impressed at the IMF march today, somebody went one further and broke out "IS THERE ANYTHING TO BE SAID FOR ANOTHER MASS?!?!"

    I remember quite liking it when i was young; was canelled, i suppose.
    Probably because it was crap.
    Robin Givens was in it; Mike Tyson's wife, for a short while.

    Bizarrely, unless i've lost my mind, i think there was some controversy related to that show. I think there was some nudity shown at some point; in an art class or something.
    Seem to remember it causing a bit of a stir.
