About The British Comedy Guide

Union Jack Icon Welcome to The British Comedy Guide (aka BCG), a vast online reference website for fans of British comedy. We are Britain's most popular comedy-related website: Each month, over half a million comedy fans use this website to find out more about British comedy.

On www.comedy.co.uk you'll find detailed guides to over 1,200 British TV and radio comedy shows; with synopsis details, cast & crew lists, episode guides, character profiles, videos, press clippings and more. We also provide daily TV and radio listings, a news service, a DVD catalogue, email newsletters, cover live stand-up comedy, host a popular message board, publish podcasts, run competitions, offer advice & insight for comedy writers, and all sorts of other features. And it's all free!

The ultimate aim of this website is to provide a guide to every British TV and radio comedy that has ever been made! However, as there are over 4,000 comedies listed in our master list, it is going to take us a little while to complete the task. So our apologies if you can't find what you're looking for on our website just yet... but we will get there eventually!

One thing we are proud to say is we have 100% complete coverage of all current TV and radio comedy - we track and record every single new episode. Do check out our schedule and our coming soon section to get a flavour of what we're up to.

We'd like to thank you for visiting The British Comedy Guide, and hope you find our site useful and interesting, and will come back as we continue to add new features (we've got lots of exciting plans)!

If you have any comments, questions or feedback do please get in touch

Background

The British Comedy Guide started life in 2003 as a small website called The British Sitcom Guide which, back then, was just a few brief amateur pages about Fawlty Towers, Blackadder and a few other sitcoms. However, over the years, thanks to help from many contributors, it has grown into the beast you see before you now and is now one of the most visited websites in the UK.

This website was founded by comedy geek Mark, who still runs the website today. Aaron also plays a big role by looking after the message board, DVD database and some other areas of the website.

Much of the content for our guides is supplied by comedy fans helping out in their spare time, for fun. If you'd like to get involved, do please find out more about contributing
