British Comedy TV Shows.

The UK provides some of the best comedy shows on the planet. This group is dedicated to the shows that split our sides.

The place to have a good laugh.

All things British from Red Dwarf Blackadder to Hancock.

This group is dedicated to all things Comedy and British.

THE RULES.

Submit anything you like as long as it's about British TV comedy.

Please do not submit anything relating to "how to make money" by watching TV, sharing videos or any other such scam as this lowers the tone of the group and has nothing to do with the spirit of Squidoo.

THE TELETUBBIES ARE NOT FUNNY!!!
If you submit a lens on Teletubbies I shall have no option but to immerse myself in Chocolate Ice Cream and Wood-Shavings until I feel better.

This Group is run for its members and the entertainment of visiting squidooers.. Although I write a lot of Comedy Lenses you lot get featured and Top lens Positions I'm not greedy. A crawler and a sychophant? Yes! But not greedy.

A great big comedy welcome to Kab. The Kumars are brilliant. Hows about a Goodness Gracious Me Lens?"

What can you say about the series "Coupling", that hasn't been said by the critics and the fans. A fantastic lens from mac33 says it all. Welcome to the British Comedy TV shows Group.



Terry Gilliam is the Genius behind the Monty Python Animations. Yes I know he's American but his contribution to British Comedy earns him a place in our Comedy legends section. Welcome Rachel.

The Serious stuff Submissions.

Yes we do have a policy. We want this group to be the best on Squidoo.

Lenses should have content and tell us and evrybody else what the show is about. If you send just a page full of links well it will probably get accepted but never featured.

Every day, I scour Squidoo for decent lenses to add and I am amazed at some lenses out there. I know that when Squidoo started it was viewed as a link list but things are moving on and content is King.

I will never tell you what to do with your own lens though. They are your lenses after all.

The Serious stuff. Group Promotion

I try and put at least 1 post per day on SquidU and will try and cross promote all lenses in the group. If anyone has any good free promotion ideas then feel free to share them in the Group discussion below.

This does not include "Sign up to my MLM scheme, Traffic Generation scheme etc." They are for Marketing lenses.

A great group - this is going to keep me busy for ages.

I didn't see any mention of the Carry On films or The Two Ronnies - let alone other Ronnie Barker projects like Porridge or Open All Hours.

Keep up the good work - British Comedy Rules wot!
