Throughout film, television, and radio, '''British comedy''' has become known for its consistently peculiar characters, plots, and settings, and has produced some of the most renowned comedians and characters in the world.

==Radio==
Radio comedy in Britain has been almost exclusively the preserve of the BBC, and a number of British [[radio comedy|radio comedies]] achieved considerable renown in the second half of the 20th century.

In the 1940s and 1950s, [[Variety show|variety]] dominated the schedules, and popular series included ''[[ITMA|It's That Man Again]]'' and ''[[Much Binding in the Marsh]]''. In the mid-1950s, however, two notable series emerged which would help to shape the future of radio and [[television]] comedy in [[United Kingdom|Britain]]. [[The Goons]] ([[Peter Sellers]], [[Spike Milligan]] and [[Harry Secombe]]) starred in their own anarchic series ''The Goon Show'' which ran throughout the 1950s. At the same time, the [[BBC]] was also running ''[[Hancock's Half Hour]]'' starring [[Tony Hancock]], the first of a new generation of comedies based on believable characters and situations. ''Hancock's Half Hour'' later transferred to TV and was phenomenally successful throughout the 1950s, running concurrently on radio and television until 1960.

Another notable radio show was the [[double entendre]]-laden ''[[Round the Horne]]'' (1965–1968), a sequel to the earlier series ''[[Beyond Our Ken]]'', which ran from 1959 to 1964. ''[[I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again]]'' (1964-1973) gained a devoted youth following in the late 1960s.

Later radio shows made use of the panel game format, including the long-running ''[[Just a Minute]]'' (1967–), ''[[I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue]]'' (1972–) and ''[[The News Quiz]]'' (1977–), which often broadcast a dozen of so episodes a year, normally split over two series broadcast at different points in the year. The success of the panel show format has in turn has influenced TV series like ''[[Have I Got News for You]]'' (1990–), ''[[They Think It's All Over (TV series)|They Think It's All Over]]'' (1995–2006) and ''[[Mock the Week]]'' (2005–).

BBC Radio has continued to be a breeding ground for new talent and many programmes have transferred successfully to television, including ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (UK TV series)|Whose Line is it Anyway?]]'', ''[[On the Hour]]'', ''[[Goodness Gracious Me (TV & radio)|Goodness Gracious Me]]'', ''[[Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge (radio series)|Knowing Me, Knowing You]]'' and ''[[Little Britain]]''.

==Television==
Although many popular shows of recent years began life on [[BBC Radio]], there have been many successful and influential series which were designed purely for TV. In contrast to their US counterparts, which have seasons of up to 26 episodes a year, British sit-coms traditionally have series of just 6 episodes. The main reason for this is that British shows are generally written by one or two dedicated writers - often the people that created the show in the first place - as opposed to the US model of having a larger writing team. In part, this is a reflection of the difference between the size of the TV audience in the two countries, and the economics of television production; for decades sit-coms were the shows on US television that delivered the highest ratings; in Britain the highest ratings figures were normally for soap operas, which generally run several times a week, year-in year-out, and as a result generally required larger writing teams.

Following the success of ''[[Hancock's Half Hour]]'' and ''[[Steptoe and Son]]'', the [[sitcom]] became firmly entrenched in the television schedules. Some of the most successful examples include ''[[Dad's Army]]'', ''[[Absolutely Fabulous]]'', and ''[[Red Dwarf]]''.

The [[British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]] has generally been dominant in [[television comedy]], but the commercial stations have also had some successes. [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]]'s most successful sitcoms were generally produced in the 1970s, including ''[[Rising Damp]]'', ''[[On the Buses]]'', and ''[[George and Mildred]]''. Commercial station [[Channel 4]] has been more successful than ITV with situation comedies in recent years. Some of the better-known examples are ''[[Drop the Dead Donkey]]'', ''[[Spaced]]'', ''[[Green Wing]]'', and ''[[The Inbetweeners]].''

Other formats have also been popular, with sketch shows, stand-up comedy, [[impressionist (entertainment)|impressionists]] and even puppet shows finding success. Although impressionists experienced a lull in popularity in the 1990s, the success of ''[[Dead Ringers (comedy)|Dead Ringers]]'' (another [[BBC Radio]] cross-over) and ''[[Alistair McGowan's Big Impression]]'' has been notable.

The most notable [[satirical]] comedies are the ground-breaking 1960s series ''[[That Was The Week That Was]]'', 1980s series ''[[Not the Nine O'Clock News]]'', and [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]]'s puppet show ''[[Spitting Image]]''. One of the most-watched shows of the 1980s and early 1990s, ''Spitting Image'' was a satire of politics, entertainment, sport and [[British culture]] of the era, and at its peak it was watched by 15 million people.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/arts/pictures/0,,1444231,00.html?redirection=gallery "Spitting Image"]. The Guardian. Retrieved 2 February 2015</ref> British satire has also washed over into [[List of U.K. game shows|quiz shows]] – popular examples include the news quiz ''[[Have I Got News for You]]'', ''[[Mock the Week]]'', ''[[8 out of 10 cats]]'', ''[[Shooting Stars (British TV series)|Shooting Stars]]'' and music-based ''[[Never Mind The Buzzcocks]]''.

One of the most influential groups in comedy is [[Monty Python]]. Their ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus|Flying Circus]]'' sketch show aired on the BBC between 1969-1974. The group itself consisted of six members, [[Graham Chapman]], [[John Cleese]], [[Terry Gilliam]], [[Eric Idle]], [[Terry Jones]] and [[Michael Palin]]. All were UK-born except Gilliam, who was US-born. Chapman, Cleese, and Idle attended the [[University of Cambridge]], while Jones and Palin attended the [[University of Oxford]]. Gilliam was an alumnus of [[Occidental College]]. The Pythons went on to produce a large body of other legendary work including [[Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus|two TV specials for Germany]], four feature films, a [[Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl|concert film]], and various documentary specials detailing the group's history. Their unique brand of humour has had a profound influence on British comedy and on comedy in general.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} They themselves had been influenced by [[The Goons]] and [[Spike Milligan]]'s ''[[Q (Spike Milligan series)|Q]]'' series. Python found surprising popularity in the US in the 1970s, as did the less cerebral humour of [[Benny Hill]] and his ITV sketch series ''[[The Benny Hill Show]]''.

Other notable sketch-based series include ''[[Morecambe and Wise]]'', ''[[The Two Ronnies]]'', ''[[The Goodies]]'', ''[[French and Saunders]]'', ''[[The Catherine Tate Show]]'', and ''[[The Fast Show]]''.

In the 1980s, [[alternative comedy]] was spearheaded by [[Ben Elton]] and [[The Comic Strip]] group which included [[Alexei Sayle]], [[Rik Mayall]], and [[French and Saunders]].

''[[Vic Reeves Big Night Out]]'' influenced the style of a whole new generation of comics in the 1990s until the present day.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tvlistings/programme.shtml?day=yesterday&filename=20060419/20060419_2350_4288_57003_60 BBC – BBC THREE – Listings]{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

The 1990s and 2000s also saw the rise of a new set of British comedians who made innovative contributions mainly in the form of sitcoms. Shows such as ''[[Mr. Bean]]'', ''[[Green Wing]]'', ''[[Peep Show (British TV series)|Peep Show]]'', ''[[Black Books]]'', ''[[Teachers (UK TV series)|Teachers]]'', ''[[Spaced]]'', ''[[Smack the Pony]]'', ''[[Big Train]]'', ''[[The Office (UK TV series)|The Office]]'', and ''[[Extras (TV series)|Extras]]'' have used editing, [[surreal humour]], and cultural references to great effect. A loose clique of stars, including [[Simon Pegg]], [[Dylan Moran]], [[Jessica Stevenson]], [[Mark Heap]], [[Tamsin Greig]], [[Bill Bailey]] have revolved around these series.
