Only Fools being just an honourable mention is a travesty.

The ending of blackadder goes forth - always makes me cry - done so well and hits right in the feels.

You can start Doctor Who from 2005 Season 1 with Christopher as The Doctor. You can always go back if you enjoy it. I'm shocked BBC Merlin wasn't on that list even as an honourable mention, that series was incredible.

Blackadder was how I fell in love with history as a child. It ignited a spark that my own children now follow. Pure comedic genius

The multi series documentaries featuring Sir David Attenborough must be on this list. After all, the naturalist has been making them for about 70 years now, his first series having begun in 1954. His latest was shown in May 2023.

I don't know what criteria they used for their picks 7 years ago, but the BBC did some of the greatest documentaries ever made. David Attenborough is a legend. If you talk to people in the TV Drama business, they would probably say that "I Claudius" was the most ground breaking TV series in 1976.

I still believe that Allo, Allo would also deserve a mention in this list. The writing and the way it plays with accents is amazing. A show with French, British and Germans all speaking english, and they don't seem understand each other - and you as a viewer start to believe it!

“Yes Minister” ran for three series and it’s sequel “Yes, Prime Minister” ran for two series. They had, undoubtedly, some of the finest comedy writing and acting ever put on screen. The battle between elected Ministers and unelected Civil Servants was ripe for a sitcom. Some often said that much of what appeared in the show was based on events that had happened within the government for real. I’d always recommend watching these shows.

The fact that The bloody *Office* is on the list and Only Fools... got an honourable mention is insane. I can name ten shows better than The bloody Office. Keeping Up Appearances, Birds of a Feather, Allo Allo, Red Dwarf, One Foot in the Grave, *Father Ted* this was Channel 4, not BBC! A fact I totally forgot and thank you to Polyglot85 for the reminder. However, it's well worth a watch because it is hysterically funny! Absolutely Fabulous, Bread, Brittas Empire, Vicar of Dibley, Dad's Army, Steptoe and Son. This list needs to go stand in a corner and hide for all eternity.

QI (stands for 'quite interesting') is a general knowledge panel show that can be absolutely hilarious. Panellists answer questions and get points when correct or points deducted if they are wrong. There is a lot of very funny innuendo and double entendre as well, There is no prize at the end, except bragging rights but it is also very informative and I have learned quite a lot watching it.

How on earth did 'only fools and horses' not make the top 10!

Out of all these shows i recommend watching Blackadder, it stars Rowan Atkinson, Huge Laurie, Stephen Fry and Tony Robinson, it is some of the funniest stuff you will ever watch.

The best thing about the BBC is that they don't have adverts so we can watch a programme from beginning to end without interruption.

I went to watch *Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit* in a cinema in Houston, Texas when it first came out. We were the only ones laughing in the whole place. Loved being scared during Doctor Who with William Hartnell and then Patrick Troughton. Jon Pertwee was good too, and Tom Baker was a giggle.

The Tardis is NOT a phone booth but mimics a police box.

I'm fortunate to be a Canadian, and have seen most, if not all of these shows, broadcast on the CBC.The CBC is not the BBC, and unfortunately does have adverts interrupt the shows, but it does tend to balance out the large number of American shows simulcast on other more commercial Canadian TV networks with other English language shows. I grew up on Monty Python, Black Adder, and Dr. Who, and are that richer for it. Not to mention growing up with British culture, how at home I have felt each and every time I've been to Britain.

Blackadder is the surname of the main character played by Rowan Atkinson. The four series started in the middle ages, before moving to the Tudor age, the Georgian age and finally WW1

Only fools and Horses British comedy had hardly a mention, one of the best British inventions since the wheel, a must see series. Nearly every Britons has the boxed set!. Its set in a small roughshod area of London, kitchen sink drama, hilarious!! With two of the best British actors, David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst, unforgettable iconic part of British history! Please it deserves more.

Fun fact: Tony Robinson who played Baldrick in blackadder ended up a presenter of an archaeology series called Time Team.

Martin Freeman was also in The Office. Only Fools and Horses is considered the best comedy series ever. David Tennant is the best Dr Who he is returning in November for the 60th anniversary it is 3 episodes. The best episodes to watch are with these actors:- Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker and David Tennant. Blackadder is his name it starred people like Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Brian Blessed and Miranda Richardson, I preferred the first series. Sherlock is fabulous, it keeps all the feelings of the stories even though it is in the modern world, all the actors are first class. My additions are "One Foot in the Grave". " Merlin". "Poldark". " Horrible Histories".

Only Fools & Horses should be number 1. The most loved British comedy of all time & the repeats that are shown are still popular today

Shame you skipped over "Only fools and horses". That's one of the most popular comedies ever, (along with quite a few of the others). To actually understand it and appreciate it, you should watch a couple of episodes. Black Adder. Again, one of the funniest shows ever, but 4 different series, each in it's own timeline. Doctor Who started off as a childrens show back in the 60s, with a limited budget and crap special effects. But as the children watching and enjoying it grew up, so did the program.

Surprised Only Fools and Horses isn't number one, probably the most beloved British show

One of the interesting things about Dr Who is that writers and editors they very often incorporated issues going on in society at the time such as Strikes, pollution, media take over, wars there was even an episode about over taxing the population. Another interesting fact is that due to budget restraints especially early on they had to invent and develop special effects and sound effects and technology this later was used and modified into the what we see in big movies globally it is why there are many british people in the credits for the technical crews on many films., for example they used CSO which later became green screen technology. The very first episode also coincided with the Kennedy Assassination.

If you have the chance of seeing all/a lot of Blackadder, jump at it. Binge watch it with a company of good friends or alone. It's brilliant, intelligent, hilarious British humour at it's best.

I'm almost jealous of you. You've got the whole joy of Top Gear ( with Jeremy, Richard and James) ahead of you. From trying to get a mini metro into space to driving to the north pole, its brilliant!

Sherlock and doctor who will forever have a special place in my heart❤😂

The Eclectic Beard has started watching Dr. Who. He's watching Classic Dr. Who from the start with William Hartnell as the Doctor & is also watching the modern Dr. Who with Christopher Ecclestone as the Doctor. He absolutely loves the shows. Just jump in, you soon get to know the characters.

One BBC comedy show that wasn't mentioned is 'Allo 'Allo, that was very popular in several countries and ran for 9 seasons from 1982-92. It was light second world war parody with lots of catchphrases and thick foreign accents.

"Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" and its sequel "Smiley's People" are two of the best espionage dramas ever written, starring Sir Alec Guinness (Obi Wan Kenobi in SW). "Yes Minister" & "Yes Prime Minister" are both superbly written intelligent comedy on political life, it mocks the entire system without being left or right in outlook. Missing off here is another intelligent and immensely funny political comedy. "The Day Today" was set in a newsroom was very subversive and quite brilliant.

From the description of what you like, Tyler, I'd recommend a series called Red Dwarf, a hilarious comedy set on a spaceship 3 million years in the future. They had one of the most original concepts ever, a whole episode where everything went backwards including movement & time.

Can say that I'm English myself and love watching top gear, despite not being a car enthusiast myself. Is very funny and entertaining, highly reccomend it

You should do Doctor Who reactions dude. Start with the first modern series in 2005. You don't need to have seen any episodes before. It's the perfect jumping on point.

you rearly should look into only fools and horses it is a classic show, am amazed there was no Attenborough show there rearly should be he is a British institution

Blackadder had 4 seasons, each set in different periods of time in English history. The actors play certain characters in the first series, and in further series, they play the originals' descendants. There have also been a couple of short episodes set in a couple of other times.

If your wanting to start on watching Dr who, best is to start from the revival of the show which stars Christopher Eccleston as the 9th Doctor. Most people who haven't seen the originals start there. Same for me, as you watch the revived portion of the show it does explain many things about the older Doctor's without you having to watch them (You might miss some cameos or references but it wont ruin the experience at all), although like me and like many others I became such a fan that I wanted to go back to watch the originals. It may take time to get used to the logic but it wont take much time to love the character design and development, each rendition of the Doctor and each companion and even the people they meet along the way are all unique with their own story's to tell and in some crucial cases, their own story's to hide.

'The Young Ones' was brilliant. and hilarious. along with 'Only Fools and Horses'.

Dr Who is by far one of the best BBC dramas you won't regret watching it. I saw it from Jon Pertwee onwards. My favourites doctors in order of appearance are Tom Baker, Peter Davidson, Christopher Eccleson and David Tennant. All the other doctors were good too. There are many brilliant BBC comedies and dramas that should have been on the list. Call the Midwife (12 seasons), Only Fools and Horses should have been in the top five not as an afterthought mention. Dad's Army, Casualty (37 seasons) Silent Witness ( 26 seasons). Line of Duty. Poldark. There have been lots of mini series dramas that have been popular too. Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth (6 episodes). I could go on.

Dr Who has been referenced on Star Trek,The Simpsons,Family Guy ,the big bang theory and many others.

Here are some more BBC programmes from the past (and present) which you might enjoy: Sky At Night, Top Of The Pops, University Challenge, Only Connect, Generation Game, Onedin Line, In The Night Garden, Blue Peter (especially the Valerie Singleton, John Noakes and Peter Purves era,) Horizon, Old Grey Whistle Test, Last Of The Summer Wine, It Ain''t Half Hot Mum, Dad's Army, Vision On, Red Dwarf and ANYTHING with David Attenborough. Have fun watching these - you will not regret it.

Only fools only got an honourable mention 😂😂😂 Who compiled this list? Only fools and horses is number 1 by a long way.

How did red dwarf not make the list

Doctor Who celebrates its 60th anniversary in November. David Tennant played the 10th Doctor and is returning as the 14th Doctor in the anniversary stories. The 15th Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) will begin his run at Christmas You can start from the beginning with William Hartnell in 1963 followed by Patrick Troughton or go to colour with Jon Pertwee in 1970. The 4th Doctor began in 1974 and is one known well by Americans as the series started broadcasting in the States in 1976 on PBS. This Doctor with the long scarf has featured in The Simpsons. Classic Who finished in 1989 with a one off film produced by Americans set in San Francisco as a pilot for a new series in 1996 but wasn’t picked up. Modern who started in 2005 (another good starting point for new viewers with the story Rose staring Christopher Eccleston followed by David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi and Jodie Whittaker. These were all broadcast by BBC America. The BBC has made a deal for screening right with Disney+ so from November every country outside the UK will show the programme on the streaming service. For UK viewers it will continue to be shown on the BBC.

I cannot believe only fools is not number 1. Widely considered and consistently voted as the best comedy of all time. Pulled in insane viewers for its specials and Christmas shows. Yet not only is it not number 1 it's just an honorable mention. What???

The best stepping on points for Doctor Who are usually when a new actor takes over the role. "New Who" is probably the most accessible for someone with little previous knowledge so Christopher Eclestone's first episode would a very good place, but David Tennant's or Matt Smith's first episodes are also good places to start.

Blackadder series 4 was funny and poignant at the same time... just wonderful. And only fools and horses was a phenomenon of its day, watched by millions

I find the choice that the BBC did! Only Fools and Horses should have been in the top 5 at the very least! My first doctor I ever saw was the one shown in B&W Patrick Troughton! I still love that show! Someone mentions the newer versions to start and that is certainly a good place! Have fun as it is fantastic!

QI is my absolute favorite, I have it on background all the time. It's a panel show so you can start anywhere, recommend you pick it up later, like series N or O. As for Blackadder, it was voted by British public as Britain's #2 best sitcom of all time and having the #1 series finale. I hope you try them both!

I won't cheat but 3 of The Top 4 have to be Only Fools/David Attenborough:Planet Eart and Blackadder.

I can't believe they didn't mention Coronation Street. Even the Queen loved that one.

With Black Adder, in the first series he played "The Black Adder" (15th century), second series was set in the reign of Elizabeth I (early 1600s), the third was set during the Regency (early 1800s), and the last was set during World War I. Top Gear is basically a car show but a chaotic one (the Mythbusters analogy is good). Their motto is "Brilliant but rubbish", which fits it perfectly. The classic trio of presenters - Clarkson, Hammond, and May - were the perfect team. "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" was a brooding espionage thriller series; "The Young Ones" was an anarchic comedy about four student flatmates; "Only Fools and Horses" and "Are You Being Served?" are classic sitcoms, the first revolving around a chancer who's always coming up with dodgy moneymaking schemes, and the other about the staff of the clothes department of a stuffy department store. "QI" is a panel show - four comedians asked impossible trivia questions - most of the fun of the show is the comedians riffing on the question rather than actually trying to answer it. With Doctor Who, start with the rebooted version with the Christopher Eccleston series and go on from there. The older series are good, but the production values were very low so they'd probably seem dated and stagey to a modern audience.

Couple of important points. That famous Mr Bean which you probably have heard of - As with Hollywood stars, etc. he simply didn't click his fingers and say "hey presto, I'm gonna be a star personality all of a sudden". In his younger years, he had roles in a number of British TV sitcom type comedies. By the time of Mr Bean's launch, he was starting to get on in years as a well known comedy actor (at least to the Btitish). One of my favourite British comedies of all time is "keeping up appearances". It is so typically British in every way imaginable, exaggerated to the point of exintrisity. Finally - American comedy. It hasn't really been able to keep up with the high standards set by Sex and the City, and the likes of the Laurel and Hardy era. Many of us think the background laughter in many shows is done by recording "voice overs" as we often are at a loss to understand what is the joke in question.!

The 'black & white' doctor in the doctor who clip was Patrick Troughton. His son played cricket for England and his grandson, Harry Mellors, played Dudley Dursley in Harry Potter. If you want to see Doctor Who I recomend starting with the 21st century reboot with Christopher Eccleston. Also the Sara Jane mysteries and Torchwood are spin off series of Doctor Who.

Wtf only fools and horses only a mention? Im off to give watch mojo a piece of mind

Black adder, Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, and Yes Minster / Yes Prime Minster are sone if the best comedies you'll ever see.

"Only fools and horses" gets it title from the line from the title music "only fool and horses work" - it's a sitcom about "wheeler dealer" brothers trying to become millionaires using brains rather than graft, with lots of "get rich quick" schemes. It's really well written and I reckon it would be considered a "British staple" - with many Christmas specials!

Only fool and horses should have been no.1, absolutely the funniest show ever

This can not be in order of popularity, if it is it’s not done by the public or Only fools and horses would be NUMBER 1 hands down. It’s iconic way above any other comedy. Who on Earth compiled this ridiculous list!!!!

Only Fools only getting an honourable mention, that is just criminal. This was the best British sitcom of all time. Scandalous!

I'm a Brit, and I also 'go crazy over' Sherlock! Hands down the best BBC drama ever. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are both amazing, but my absolute favourite character is Moriarty (played by Andrew Scott). He's incredible. You have to watch it!!

Start with Blink - if you want a great overview of Dr Who - its a fantastic episode. Scary, funny and really well written.

Good reaction video as always but the fact Only Fools And Horses was only in the honorable mentions category kind of destroys the credibility of Mojo's list, obviously just my opinion but it's easily the best comedy program the BBC ever produced with countless memorable and classic moments. There is a video on KZfaq called "BEST MOMENTS EVER: 40th Anniversary Compilation | Only Fools and Horses", I would love to watch you react to that if you are looking for ideas.

I’m not into cars at all, but Top Gear was always such a joy to watch! The list is missing another comedy gem: Absolutely Fabulous!

If you're looking for a few more modern British shows, I'd highly recommend: Killing Eve (BBC & Netflix), Line of Duty (BBC), Inside Man (BBC & Netflix), The Bodyguard (Netflix), and Good Omens (Prime Video) - to get you started! They're all epic dramas (apart from Good Omens which is its own thing). Enjoy!

Everyone too old to remember the Goon show?

Dr Who... a self described 'madman with a box'. 😃 I vaguely remember watching the first few seasons - I was only ten when it started - but then life happened and I lost track for a while. I came back to it when Christopher Ecclestone took over and am still along for the ride - but I really miss David Tennant 😒

Blackadder is a must watch. no excuses. are you being served is a good one, loved that show. totally recommend it.

Every single honourable mention was miles better than Top Gear.

The Young Ones was aired on American MTV when I lived there, it was awesome! I also really liked the series/movies by The Comic Strip. Much of that, if not all, is available on KZfaq, so just dig in!

Start with new Who 2005 onwards with the 9th doctor (Christopher Eccleston) Surlock Homes is great, but if you obessed with House MD then you get the reverence House is Homes & Wilson is Watson Can't believe the comedy show The Last Of The Summer Wine isn't on the list. It's the UK's longest running sitcom starting from 1973-2010 Also gotta watch Porridge (Ronnie Barker) & Dad's Army

I forget to thank you for posting so many fascinating critiques…sending you a thank you from Canada

I enjoyed both parts of this reaction Tyler. Keep up the good work. Dr Who was a firm favourite of mine, and I remember the first episode airing on 23 November 1963, the day after one of those dates that will live in immortal memory. You should check out some of the early episodes, they were way ahead of their time.

There's an episode of the fab US series Castle where Nathan Fillion mentions Doctor Who with great affection, and an episode of Criminal Minds where Penny has a Dalek on her console, so I'm pretty sure Dr Who has made it's way to many American hearts ☺ 💕. Everyone in Britain has a favourite Dr Who, and mine is David Tennant. Curiously, David married the daughter of Peter Davidson, who was also Dr Who. Anyway, well done Tyler, really enjoy your videos ☺.

You spotted Martin Freeman this time but failed to see him in The Office, check again...

The fact that Only Fools and Horses was only a mention discredits the entire video. Shocking.

Tyler, one of your fellow American reactors (The Eclectic Beard) has recently started watching Dr Who. He does two reacts a week one is classic Dr Who where he started from the 1st episode back in 1963, and the other is new Dr Who where he started from the 1st episode of the new era. He loves it, try it you might just enjoy it.

How didn’t Only Fools and Horses get the number 1 spot. Who did this list?

Top gear is the one to watch, especially road trips. All they do is take the absolute piss out of each other crash into each other mad stunts its awesome

Absolutely Fabulous, Royle Family, keeping up appearances!! My favourites!!!!!!!!!!

The Office had Martin Freeman in it as well but you didn't notice.

No mention of Porridge, the greatest sitcom of all time.

Did you know that Kate is short for Bob? And that sleep gives you cancer? Oh and Mr Granger needs a glass of water.

I cant believe they didn't include 'Bottom', 'Some Mothers do Ave em', 'One Foot in the Grave', 'Keeping Up Appearances' and 'Vicar of Dibley!' Those are my some of my all time favourite shows! Craaazy! I love that you know and like Wallace and Gromit tho! It's amazing and also one of my favourites! ❤

You have got to find the Faulty Towers series. I live in Canada and every time a tv station airs the show the majority of Canadians will watch it and rematch it. I’ve seen the series a dozen times and will watch it again. The show is also very popular in Australia and New Zealand.

Only fools and horses is arguably the best British comedy ever made! Just being a mention is simply an insult!

Cannot recommend any of these shows highly enough - all brilliant in their own way, however, how Only Fools and Horses is only an honourable mention when it could easily be argued to be #1 is beyond me... The BBC has a long history of making excellent television programs - shame it has lost its way so much these days...

"The Young Ones" was a slapstick comedy show based around the adventures of four students living in some particularly squalid student digs in London. It had a strong absurdist streak that owed a lot to Monty Python (but then what modern comedy doesn't?) It also had a very short run (2 seasons of 6 episodes each) but is rightly considered one of the true classics of British comedy. Quite a few popular comedians of the day had guest slots. Alexei Sayle had a regular spot as their insane Eastern European landlord and the various members of his extended family. They also had a band do a musical number each episode, because under BBC rules at the time that meant it qualified as a variety show rather than a sitcom and therefore got a bigger budget!

Definitely need to check out some of these shows. They are amazing.

I'm gonna say this now, if Horrible Histories isn't on here I'm gonna be very frustrated. (CBBC is definitely still BBC!)

Maybe try Dr Who from where it started again with Christopher Eccleston. David Tennant and Matt Smith after him are two of the most popular doctors

'Only Fools and Horses' is only an 'honourable mention'?! i was expecting it to be No.1!

I am American and an Anglophile. I love British television, movies, novels, literature, countryside,etc. There are two networks you can subscribe to. One is Acorn. I can’t think of the other. Sorry. One covers the older stuff and the other more modern shows. Sherlock was brilliant. The acting first class.

The final episode of Blackadder sees Blackadder and Balldrick going into their final battle in the First World War.Although a comedy programme it had the nation in tears as they marched to their deaths.

It says a lot when many of these shows were showcased during our 2012 Olympic Ceremony.

If you want to start Doctor Who i recommend starting from the reboot which is 2005 onwards. My personal fav doctor is Matt Smith but everyone adore David Tennant's Doctor and they were both part of the reboot

They missed out "Dad's Army" a comedy about platoon of Home Guard (civil degence) during WW2. It is still shown regularly today.

'Only Fools and Horses' should have been on the list. It was one of the most popular (possibly the most popular) and successful British comedy shows ever produced. It was certainly up there with Blackadder. Another very popular historical comedy show was 'Allo' Allo!' which was a very strange take on Word War 2, specifically in France during the German occupation.

I don't know the criteria for this list , but not even a mention of David Attenborough , Edge of darkness , Would I lie to you , I Claudius and so many others . These are all great shows but there are so many more as good , or better made by the BBC.

Last episode of Blackadder 4th season (Blackadder goes forth) is the best TV-series ending ever made.

That is a varied list and I am enjoying your reactions ☺️ I can't believe I have never seen 'Blackadder'...not one episode; and no, I don't know what a 'strumpf' is either...!
