I need my fix and I've been away so long I have no clue about what is worth watching any more. Any suggestions most welcome.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Edit:  also, Snuff Box if you like weird shit.

Maybe The Jam (by Chris Morris), and Brass Eye/The Day Today if you haven't already seen them.

Loved Brass Eye/The Day Today. Jam was completely fucked up - found an NTSC dvd of it, and after watching about three episodes in a row I felt high/in an altered state, it was bizarre. The baby boiler sketch still creeps me out:

My knowledge of British comedy extends to whatever PBS airs here.  Which is all stuff that is decades old.  That said, I still get a good chuckle watching "Are You Being Served?" 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

I used to prefer Newsnight. But only because I find watching Jeremy Paxman be rude to politicians to be quite joyful.

Hah - thanks! Though I might save that for a year or so - I have a feeling I'll relate to it more when the little one starts talking back.

Just reminded me - the long haired boosh guy is resident on never mind the buzzcocks now, along with Phil Jupitus. It's hit or miss and depends largely on who the other guests are but at least they sacked that Lamarr fuckhead so it now comes with 86% less annoying cunt factor.
