Best Of British Comedy Presented By BBC Worldwide
FAWLTY TOWERS, THE OFFICE, BLACKADDER... the BBC's track record for comedy is legendary. This session will present the first episodes of three new series: BACK re-unites the comedy dream duo Mitchell & Webb with Emmy-winning writer Simon Blackwell for a sitcom about two quarrelling heirs to a popular pub. WHITE GOLD takes an acerbic look back at the anything-goes business world of the 1980s, where a couple of window salesmen are living the high life of sex, drugs and double-glazing. And as for ILL BEHAVIOUR... well, let's just call it a morbidly romantic comedy thriller about best friends and worst dates, about kidnapping, involuntary chemotherapy, lots of alcohol and a cross-bow. As with the others – you really have to see it for yourself.
