Series 7 Episode 9 - The Best UK Sitcom Of The Last 30 Years - Semi Finals

Living With Madeley

Peep Show v Phoenix Nights
We tackle the titanic clash between "Peep Show" and "Phoenix Nights" in our Sitcom World Cup semi-finals. We're serving up a platter of sharp-witted analysis, with a side of hearty laughs, as we dissect the highs and lows of these comedic juggernauts. From Johnson's inimitable swagger to the side-splitting genius of Super Hans, we leave no gag unturned and no punchline unexamined.
Ever wonder how a sitcom keeps its spark after nine series? We've got that covered, as we draw back the curtain on "Peep Show's" evolving writers' room and how fresh blood like Simon Blackwell kept the series on its toes. Meanwhile, "Phoenix Nights" gets its due as we applaud the evolution of its characters, with a tip of the hat to the natural comic delivery of Peter Kay and Dave Spikey. It's a masterclass in sitcom anatomy, from the craft of scripting to the magic that happens when a line is perfectly delivered.
Whether you're Team Peep or Team Phoenix, your comments are the lifeblood of our competition, so hit us up on Twitter or email. As we head into the ring for the decisive bouts, make sure you've got your headphones at the ready—this is one matchup you won't want to miss.
