Peter Kay 's laugh out loud series set in a social club in Bolton. Kay, who played wheelchair bound owner Brian Potter in the show, wrote it with fellow comics Neil Fitzmaurice and Dave Spikey.

This month marked 20 years since it was first aired on Channel 4, catapulting Kay to superstardom on these shores. And it got us thinking about where it ranks in the list of the best British sitcoms.We asked our writers for their picks....Red Dwarf has to be up there.

A classic tale of the underdog and odd couple sitcom that just so happens to be in deep space in the distant future.With that premise you can go anywhere and do anything and they certainly did.It feels so British as we're the underdogs.

‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ EPs On Entering 1960s With Season 4, “Unsettled” Future, & NYC Pivot During Covid Shoot

If you loved Prime Video’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel fast, funny, brilliantly paced, richly hued comedy about a woman’s determination to be taken seriously in her craft, the wait is almost over and it’s so worth it. The Amazon streamer debuts the Covid-delayed Season 4 on Feb. 18, more than two years after we last saw Rachel Brosnahan and ensemble flitting across NYC, Miami and Paris. This time, executive producers Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino stuck to the Big Apple with expansive new sets at Steiner Studios and location shoots in Brooklyn, Queens, the West Village, all over Manhattan, spinning logistical limitation into television gold. Family dynamics took center stage, characters evolved and revolved around Midge as she transforms a Season 3 humiliation into angry resolve. “Every single show, I am going to say exactly what’s on my mind,” as per the trailer that dropped early this week.
