Actually, yes. I speak only for myself. I wouldn’t have the faintest idea what the Brits like.

That’s fine, there is an idea in the US that Hill is the best of British comedy when in fact he isn’t by far. In fact his best known comedy isn’t even HIS best: his early BBC shows and radio shows were brilliant and different from his later TV stuff, with the girls. Some of his ITV work is brilliant (the pretentious film critic sketch for example). But its not as clever and funny as his 50’s/60’s BBC work. He did pander to a baser humour for the international audience.

I’d be happy to recommend some British comedy. Sitcom and sketch/variety show or stand-up comedy.
