10 of the worst UK comedies that need to stay buried

Trawling the archives of the last 30 or so years of British comedy has, for the most part, been a pleasure. I've discovered shows I didn't know existed, unearthed gems which were completely side-lined by the cultural mainstream, and reintroduced myself to the glory of the likes of Nathan Barley and Marion And Geoff. I haven't seen sunlight in days and I think I've started to develop rickets, but overall, the search has been worth it. The problem is that while pigs may become adept at snuffling for truffles in the comedy forest, they're also prone to unearth the odd heaving turd whose obscurity is likely merited. That said, these are the 10 British comedies which really need to stay buried.

Apart from this being written by the same writer of Two Pints Of Lager, and also starring Sheridan Smith off of Two Pints Of Lager, and focusing on a group of 20-somethings like Two Pints Of Lager, this is nothing like Two Pints Of Lager. For instance, this is set in Manchester, not Runcorn. Anyway, this continues Sheridan's efforts to stop acting like a flipping teenager. Really, who'd still have Take That posters up these days...

Grownups is like Two Pints without the jokes

As a big fan of Two Pints I should like Grownups too as both are written by Susan Nickson and feature Sheridan Smith but the first series did not grab me that much.
