I loved Lead Balloon, even if I did cringe a bit at the situations Jack Dee's character got into through his almost complete lack of morale character and lying. Clearly others didn't agree with it being dreadful either, as it ran for three series and got, for the time, relatively high ratings. It was also nominated for a British comedy award in 2007.
Catterick is one of the best sitcoms over. I know that’s a bold claim, but when you think of the sheer volume of how many sitcoms are made, it hits the top few percent. It was brilliantly done. It’s a shame reeves and Mortimer didn’t revisit the format.
I think one of the quotes on the DVD cover was “the best thing that Reeves & Mortimer have ever done.” I would agree with that. There were a few good sitcoms that had a proving ground on BBC 3 around that time
Catterick was brill. It had musical interludes where characters would mime to songs, and I remember BBC3 would repeat those specific bits throughout an evening, not to mention repeating the full episodes several times a week...guess they had trouble filling a schedule in those early days. I was totally obsessed with the show to be honest.
Another one I would highly recommend is The Smoking Room from the 2000s. Great ensemble cast all set in a companies Smoking room, brilliantly played out, a bit like a play actually.
One that stands out to me that I never hear anyone talk about was Ideal with Johnny Vegas. The surreal and somewhat dark story of a local weed dealer and the strange characters they encounter. Heartily reccomend.
Anyone remember The Smoking Room circa 2004? It was a fly on the wall style show like the Royle Family and was about a load of jaded office workers, I liked it.
@@FlyingHeadbutt100 I had forgotten that Robert Webb was in it until I looked it up on YT and watched a few episodes. Also, forgot each one was only 15 mins long. Apart from indoor smoking, it still stands up.
I just watched the whole series of Catterick a few months ago, I remember watching it when it first came out, I think it's the most underrated and lesser known comedies ever, it's fantastic, the cast top notch as well !!
Lead Balloon was great, as was Catterick. Fun fact, Tony Gardner used to stand next to me at Colchester United home games and I asked him about Lead Balloon and apparently his sons were immensely embarrassed of him for being in it!
Nice video :) Will be checking some of these out although I enjoyed Lead Balloon at the time and think Catterick is very underrated. Noticed you're missing the chapter for 'Orrible at 3:49 and it's According To Bex instead of Meet Bex ;)
Crikey, Angelo's looks really good -- what a cast! Sharon Horgan! Alice Lowe! Simon Farnaby! I'm surprised I've never heard of it. Have to say, though....I really loved "Lead Balloon", and thought it was a really sharp, funny sitcom with a great cast.
@@user-py2es4nc8r Offbeat comic actress, known for "Gareth Marenghi's Darkplace", "Sightseers" and her own film, the gruesome and utterly weird "Prevenge". She also crops up in cameos in loads of independent British films.
I loved Lead Balloon ! There was a Vic & Bob sitcom called House Of Fools which I also loved ! It's not a sitcom but does anyone remember Gilbert's Fridge from the 1980's (I think) ? It was like a sketch show. It starred a snotty green alien puppet called Gilbert, voiced by the brilliant Phil Cornwell
What about for next episode Ade Edmonson's dire return to comedy Teenage Kicks? Also Rob Brydon was in a bunch of sitcoms in the 2000s which weren't super popular but were all pretty good like Human Remains, Marion and Geoff, Director's Commentary and Annually Retentive.
I remember enjoying Hardware, set in a hardware shop... obviously, Martin Freeman was in it, I believe. I haven't seen it since it aired. Also, The Sketch Show, Lee Mack, Ronni Ancona, Tim Vine and a few other comedians. It wasn't a sitcom so not sure if it counts. 8 year old me loved it
I moved to the states 2001 so missed everyone of these ...finally a positive to moving 😁... I was always a fan of frank skinner and Ed Byrne's comedy tho. Some 2000's +(I'm not sure when they came out) ones I really enjoyed were chickens,plebs ,the rovers ,detectorists and sick of it
One that some may forget but was secretly popular with adults was the CITV sitcom, My Parents Are Aliens. It was a childhood favourite of mine and was on air for years, but I don’t believe that was purely because of the target audience. I knew of various adults who would regularly say “how amusing it was for a kids show”.
Good one is After you’ve gone. Nick Lyndhurst played a divorced dad that has to look after his teenage kids with his ex over barring mother in law. All star cast Celia imire, Dani harmer and Ryan Sampson join Nick. Very funny and forgotten about Ran for 3 series but was cancelled after Corrie moved times slots
Lead Balloon was a wee gem, really surprised to see it get a bad review here. The BBC can't have seen as it all that bad either, it lasted for four seasons....
I liked Lead Balloon For future videos you can mention Lunch Monkeys, Time Gentlemen Please, The Book Group, The Smoking Room, Spoons, After You've Gone and Hyperdrive And if you want to scrape the bottom of the barrel, My Hero
Lead Balloon ran for four series and was very popular and critically very well received. Tastes are tastes, but let's not disingenuously pretend that it's a forgotten flop.
Agreed. Comedy is subjective but I (and many others here) were staggered that the presenter actually said how terrible he thought it was. It was great, well received and popular
@@powderedground78 It really speaks for itself. A series does not reach four series if it is not popular. In fact, it was Jack Dee himself who decided to stop it when it did, so it could very well have gone on for longer. The presenter seems to have some personal vendetta against it, with his misrepresenting it as a failure. Even the clips shown of it in this video were good, so it is baffling that someone could call it dreadful.
I'd personally put 15 Storeys up there with Catterick. If you regularly listen to Frank Skinner's show on Absolute Radio you'll realise that the whole Shane debacle is still a point of great consternation to him. 😁
I remember really wanting to like ‘Shane’, when it came out, as I’d been a massive Frank Skinner fan since his earliest standups in the 90’s; even though the trailers, leading up to it, looked a bit ropey, and dated, I kept hoping it would be great…oh well, you can’t win them all, I suppose haha. I agree with 15 Storeys High; it’s one of the overlooked gems of the 2000’s, and remains one of my favourite sitcoms of all time.
I remember When Saturday Comes mentioning they were amazed Skinner showed himself in public (for the Euro 2004 Fantasy Football series) after Shane was shown to the public.....
Never mind forgetting that sitcoms existed, I forgot Johnny Vaughn existed! I found Vic and Bob through Shooting Stars when I was a kid, and loved it. I gave Catterick a go when it first aired, but it wasn't quite what I expected, so I didn't keep up with it. I gave it another try a year or two ago when I found out someone uploaded the whole thing to youtube. It's brilliant.
There was a 2nd series filmed and recorded for Shane but ITV never aired it and never put it on DVD due to contract differences between ITV and Frank Skinner
Also Blessed with Ardal O’Hanlon and Mel Giedroyc as a couple struggling to bring up their young kids. Jasper Carrott’s sitcom as well called All About Me which was quite unusual as one of the stars had cerebral palsy and his thoughts were heard via voiceover.
From the little I saw of "Blessed" it seemed to be part of that turn-of-the-millennium phenomenon of men like Tony Parsons, David Baddiel and in this case Ben Elton acting as if they were the first people in history to discover falling in love n having children.
So that's where my reoccurring Sharon Horgan as a police officer dream comes from! Most with her in I can pin to the show, but that one I just thought I must have imagined it! Some ok, some pleased I'd forgotten/never seen. Like a few on here though, I did quite enjoy Catterick. It wasn't until Covid hit that Matt Lucas began to pi.....wind me up!
A couple I'd like to throw in the ring that nobody seems to remember are.. Office Gossip (2001) - Pauline Quirke (birds of a feather) & Daniela Denby-Ashe (my family) Stella Street , although that started in the 90s it did run till 2001 , didn't realise it was that old.
I think My Family started of well, but soon got very tired...They certainly dragged it out for many a series. Great actors don't nec make a good series...Proven here.,
Oh wow! Celeb with Harry Enfield playing an ageing rock star and his wife played by Amanda Holden. Yes! The Mr. Charity one sounds vaguely familiar too. 🤔
I remember watching Orrible, I thought it wasn't too bad but I was a stone head at the time. I've never seeked it out to re-watch since. I've heard of Lead Balloon but never seen it. I watched Catterick, I did buy the Dvd a few years ago. I like the characters played by Vic, especially the one I think is called, Chris. "I know" Never heard of any of the others and none look appealing.
Seems odd seeing 00s stuff here! I remember most but only actually watched a few. I have Lead Balloon on DVD. It was billed to me as a UK version of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It is but not as good. Orrible I watched just because of Johnny Vaughan. Yeah it was bad but the DVD is very valuable as it was only sold for a few weeks. Some of these I've never heard of though (Baddiel, Parents Of The Band). Angelo's I have on DVD too only for Shelly Longworth.
WHOA...!
Lead Balloon was excellent!!!!😮🖕
Aahh... Davina McCall. There really is no start to her talents.
I loved Lead Balloon, even if I did cringe a bit at the situations Jack Dee's character got into through his almost complete lack of morale character and lying.

I loved it also. The first series was the best but they were all quite good.
Lead Balloon was great, Jack Dee was perfectly cast
I liked it too. Can't help but feel that the presenter of the clips is going for the "wasn't this sh!t" angle used by channel 5 compilations
Add me to the Love Lead Balloon list :), plus it actually got 4 series not ending until 2011.
Yes I likes it too
Lead Balloon was amazing. Such an underrated gem. Also it lasted until 2011 not 2007.
Have you ever seen Curb Your Enthusiasm?
@@marknewbold2583 at least Lead Balloon is realistic
it was well reviewed at the time and still carries pretty good ratings. Bizarre opinion from the video creator.
Yeah I enjoyed it.

15 Storeys High. A Sean Lock sitcom on BBC Three. A vastly underrated gem. Frank Skinner's better sitcom was Blue Heaven in the early 90's.
It may still be on iPlayer, very good and the humour is very Sean Lock!
Blue Heaven was better than 15 Storeys High?
@@BobHowler I meant better than his other sitcom, Shane.

@@gaskellr44 Another one of my favourites
@@DissociativeIdentity Yes, I was lucky to stumble across it once and then the 2nd series so bought the dbl dvd.
It also had the maybe the first appearance of Matthew Horne.
I can't believe you didn't like lead balloon. It's a great series.
Was gonna say...it is excellent.
Omg…. Lead Balloon was fantastic 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
One that stands out to me that I never hear anyone talk about was Ideal with Johnny Vegas. The surreal and somewhat dark story of a local weed dealer and the strange characters they encounter. Heartily reccomend.
Oooh - nice one. That was a great sitcom. There were some seriously messed up things in it as well as some very funny vanilla stuff.
Garth Marenghis Dark Place, absolute brilliant .. the first episode had me in stitches
That was a ground-breaking sci-fi classic not a sitcom
That's beyond a sitcom. Garth is a dreamweaver....and actor.
@@powderedground78 "...plus actor."
Catterick wasn’t a sitcom. It was a masterpiece
Hand!!
Anyone remember The Smoking Room circa 2004? It was a fly on the wall style show like the Royle Family and was about a load of jaded office workers, I liked it.
Emma Kennedy and Robert Webb didn't get on apparently
@@FlyingHeadbutt100 I had forgotten that Robert Webb was in it until I looked it up on YT and watched a few episodes. Also, forgot each one was only 15 mins long. Apart from indoor smoking, it still stands up.
I just mentioned that, I have it on a dbl dvd, excellent comedy.
@@mgthestrange9098 No, they were 30mins long I have them on DVD. Maybe you are thinking of Mandy?
@@gaskellr44 no, I’m an idiot, the YT videos have each episode uploaded as 2 15min videos! 😂
I just watched the whole series of Catterick a few months ago, I remember watching it when it first came out, I think it's the most underrated and lesser known comedies ever, it's fantastic, the cast top notch as well !!
Mr Neil Wheel of Neil’s Wheels still makes me chuckle.
Lead Baloon was absolutely brilliant!
Lead Balloon was great, as was Catterick. Fun fact, Tony Gardner used to stand next to me at Colchester United home games and I asked him about Lead Balloon and apparently his sons were immensely embarrassed of him for being in it!
There was a period when Johnny Vaughn never appeared to be off your TV, any channel...any time, a gameshow, sitcom...whatever.
Apparently even Bob wasn't aware the Vic was going to turn up dressed like Peter Sutcliffe to film Catterick,
Catterick 7.9 on IMDb. That's a hit.
'Orrible is still one of the Sitcoms I watch regularly, Paul Clark is comedy gold.
Same here
Nice video :) Will be checking some of these out although I enjoyed Lead Balloon at the time and think Catterick is very underrated. Noticed you're missing the chapter for 'Orrible at 3:49 and it's According To Bex instead of Meet Bex ;)

15 Storeys High was the GOAT and Nathan Barley deserves a shout. So does Black Books.
Oh and Lead Balloon was alright for what it was.
Thank you for these videos. Helps to remember there was just as much shite on the telly back then as there is now!
Catterick is almost the best thing Vic & Bob have done, after The Weekenders.
The Weekenders!! I'm sure 4 on demand still have it. What an absolutely nutty half an hour.
"Noooo, a monetary deposit"
Their hormones are doing them damage !!!!
Baddiels show wasn’t even funnier than sign language let alone Seinfeld 😂
What about 15 Stories High? The much-missed Sean Lock wrote and starred in it.
T.V Executive. 1: "How do we give David Baddiel the appearence of charisma and screen presence?"
T.V Executive. 2: "Cast him opposite Peter Bradshaw!"
Surprised you hated Lead Balloon, I thought it was brilliant. Quite a dark comedy, reminds me of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Reminds you? It was a poor copy of Curb
Anyone remember Ideal wtih Johnny Vegas.
Loved that show back in the day.
Lisa Rogers! Now she should be in your totty list!
I loved Lead Balloon ! There was a Vic & Bob sitcom called House Of Fools which I also loved !

That’s not forgotten, it’s still much loved
@@TFOOS Jane Hall no one remembers
Tony Gardner in that too, of course
2:41 lead Baloon was actually quite funny
I'm glad to say that I missed every one of these. The only 2000s sitcom I remember with any affection was Perfect World.
I remember watching an episode or two of Catterick just because it was Vic & Bob, but the rest completely passed me by!

Time Gentleman Please was a gem. It was on Sky One, so maybe that was too obscure, even for this channel.
Wild wild west, Jam and Jerusalem, The Wilsons, Early Doors.

There was also the Fast Show spin-offs; Grass with Simon Day as the pub bore and Swiss Toni. All on original BBC3 at the time.
I managed to miss all of those, and it doesn't look like I missed much :o
I remember When Saturday Comes mentioning they were amazed Skinner showed himself in public (for the Euro 2004 Fantasy Football series) after Shane was shown to the public.....
Can you do more 00s please. Too young to know the other years 😂
Catterick is ace! Only gem on this list and worth a rewatch.
I remember orrible. Ricky Grover (Baxter - red dwarf) was in it as well. So was Lee oakes (Munch - two pints of lager and a packet of crisps).
I remember the theme from Shane. It gets stuck in my head a lot
Never mind forgetting that sitcoms existed, I forgot Johnny Vaughn existed!

Respectable (the brothel one) was really good- funny and well-acted. What was the one set on spaceship with Miranda Hart in it? I quite liked that....
I quite liked that one too. Not gonna lie, Jodi Albert in her underwear was pretty much the reason I started watching it!
Hyperdrive
Catterick deserves recognition.
I know!!!!

First series yes, then Nina Wadia

Lead Balloon. I loved Magda: " I think the bear not liked to dance".
The one I liked (but was panned and only got one series) was Lee Evans "So What Now?".... maybe that should go on ur next list?
I missed all of these I was working a lot back then mostly late shifts. I don’t think I missed much TBH .That Catterick looks good though.
Ah, the curse of the "big stars" being offered sh*t vehicles for their talent to shine
A couple I'd like to throw in the ring that nobody seems to remember are..
Office Gossip (2001) - Pauline Quirke (birds of a feather) & Daniela Denby-Ashe (my family)
Stella Street , although that started in the 90s it did run till 2001 , didn't realise it was that old.
Stella Street was quite big as it had a film so it don't count.

Lead Balloon and Catterick were fabulous!
Believe Nothing with Rik Mayall
Teenage Kicks with Ade Edmondson
That "Street Artist" in Angelos is Simon Farnaby.
Catterick, fantastic. Hand.
Used to love Jodi Albert growing up
It sends a shiver down my spine to think someone in a position of power actually thought Davina McCall could be funny in any way shape or form.
Some ideas for sitcoms from the 2000s for later videos:
* Beast
* Celeb
* Mr. Charity
* Fear, Stress, and Anger
* The Life and Times of Vivenne Vyle
Oh wow! Celeb with Harry Enfield playing an ageing rock star and his wife played by Amanda Holden. Yes!
The Mr. Charity one sounds vaguely familiar too. 🤔
I remember watching Orrible, I thought it wasn't too bad but I was a stone head at the time. I've never seeked it out to re-watch since.
I've heard of Lead Balloon but never seen it.
I watched Catterick, I did buy the Dvd a few years ago. I like the characters played by Vic, especially the one I think is called, Chris. "I know"
Never heard of any of the others and none look appealing.
Lead Balloon was awesome!
What about Pay & Display, a short lived sitcom in 2000. Got poor reviews but I liked it, had James Bolam in it.
What about Believe Nothing? Starred the must missed legend, the lord rik mayall...wasnt his best work unfortunately
I never knew Eddie from Early Doors was in Catterick!
Grease Monkeys was one I really enjoyed from about 20 years ago.
I have to admit I really enjoyed Lead Balloon.
I'll add Top Buzzer into that and Johnny Vegas in Ideal
You're wrong about Lead Balloon and Catterick was brilliant
Lead Balloon was good
Catterick was awesome!
Lead Balloon was great !
I remember lead balloon and I quite liked it. The only reason I remember parents of the band is because one for them went to my school.
Must be some kind of record for me, all ten never heard of a single one
Im glad I can honestly say Ive never heard of any of these 10 failures yet alone watched any of them
I loved lead balloon
Finally a show that I haven't seen Parent of the Band.
I literally haven't heard of any of these.
I thought lead balloon was really good. Plus the soundtrack was great
Lead Balloon 7.8 on IMDb. That's a hit.
No accounting for taste.

I remember the main criticism of it being that it was a ripoff of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'. Which it kind of was.
Catterick is brilliant
Never heard of any of these haha
