Listeners' Top 20 British Sitcoms Of All Time

Let's go out with a bang as we count down Listeners’ Top 20 British Sitcoms of All Time – as voted for by you.


In total 73 different shows were nominated - some of the very greatest and most popular, others quite obscure or forgotten. But which ones made the final list? In this show we find out, with very special guests Chris Diamond and Donna Rees.


Whether your tastes run towards the communal warmth of classic ensemble shows, the brittle awkwardness of suburban frustration, or the fragmented edges of sitcom storytelling, there’s plenty here to argue about.


We talk about why some comedies endure, why others divide opinion and how shifting zeitgeists shape what people laugh at. Expect nostalgia, rediscovery and the occasional raised eyebrow or disapproving 'tut' as we move through the list.


Will the obvious favourites dominate, or will a few unexpected titles sneak in? Expect a few surprises!
