50 Greatest Comedy Sketches

From Monty Python to Little Britain and Morecambe And Wise to Big Train, British comedy is renowned for its quotable catchphrases and enduring popularity across generations. But what is the greatest comedy sketch of them all?

Channel 4 counts down from 50 to one to reveal what the British public has voted as the best comedy sketch of all time. Will Bo' Selecta!'s "Michael Jackson's Crib" sketch top Goodness Gracious Me's "Going for an English"? Does The Two Ronnies' "Four Candles" sketch triumph over "Acorn Antiques" by Victoria Wood? Or could Pete & Dud's "Dagenham Dialogues" secure victory?

The programme traces the history of British comedy through some of the most brilliantly crafted comic moments ever produced. But it remains to be seen whether the sketches of comedy days gone by can match the popularity of more recent favourites.

Narrated by Tom Baker, 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches features interviews with a range of the industry's finest, as they recount their personal favourite British comedy sketches. The line-up includes John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Mike Myers, Meera Syal, Griff Rhys Jones, The League Of Gentlemen, Tony Robinson, Little Britain's Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Peep Show's David Mitchell and Robert Webb, Father Ted writer Graham Linehan and many more.
