Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe/Newswipe shows.
A lot of people missed those back in the day and they missed them as the origin of the voice of our generation: Philomena Cunk. I really miss her compatriot Barry Shitpeas.
Also Charlie Brooker's police procedural sendup A Touch of Cloth starring John Hannah is similarly criminally underrated.
Just imho Brooker's comedy is way better than his dark scifi of Black Mirror.
Touching, Cloth.
We're going to lose face, Cloth.
I shall find this squad's duty register, and have you cut from the same, Cloth.
"I want that report on my table first thing tomorrow morning, Cloth"
"But sir-"
"On my table, Cloth!"
Dead Set was a bit of fun too
Absolutely! Screen Wipe was outstanding. Black Mirror is fine
