10 Modern British Comedies You Must Binge Watch

British comedy is an institution, decades of series have come and gone making each generation laugh out loud.

People look fondly on the likes of Fawlty Towers and Absolutely Fabulous. It is undeniable that the brains behind Monty Python are some of the funniest to ever grace our screens. Some shows have even managed to revive after years away from screens due to fans thirst for more; Red Dwarf is one of these lucky few brought back from the dead.

Whilst these hold a special place in many fans hearts, there are a multitude of new shows that deserve just as much attention. Over the last 20 years British comedy has been as strong as ever, often showcasing talents that go from strength to strength to become big names outside of their comedy roots.

These are 10 completely bingeable shows but by no means the only ones you should give your attention to.

Spawning three seasons, two films, and a flopped american version, The Inbetweeners is an untouchable comedy force.

We are introduced to four undeniable losers as they try and survive their final few years in school. Will serves as our way into the group as he moves schools and somewhat unwillingly becomes friends with Simon, Jay and Neil. Each boy is as weird and awkward as the last, providing the audience with laugh after laugh. From Simon's obsession with on/off girlfriend Carli to Jay's endless imaginary sex life, the cast are uncomfortable to watch but utterly compelling.

The boys have an undeniable chemistry and it's not hard to see why they managed to get two movies on top of the show itself. If you needed more reason to watch it then Greg Davies as sarcastic and slightly vindictive head teacher Mr. Gilbert is a standout delight too.
