Al on 40 Greatest Comedy Films On Channel 5 (UK) last night

Greatest Ever Comedy Movies

Greatest Ever Comedy Movies brings you 40 of the funniest films ever to grace our screens, as voted for in an exclusive poll of Five’s viewers and readers of The Times newspaper.

Host Giles Coren will have you rolling in the aisles as he takes you on a hilarious journey to the number one spot. Along the way he is joined by many famous faces who have been exclusively interviewed for the programme, including: John Cleese, Frank Oz, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Burt Kwouk, and Terry Jones.

Who could forget the uproarious hair gel scene from There’s Something About Mary, the riotous campfire scene from Blazing Saddles, or the darkly comic Dr Strangelove? But which side-splitting classic was your favourite?

It sounds like a "talking heads" retrospective show in which celebrities offer comments on clips and things, such as VH1's various "100 Greatest..." countdowns.

Oh no! I missed that show. Well never mind, I'm sure that Channel 5 will show it again sometime.

I remember in the 1990's BBC showed UHF on TV and my brother and I were very glad to see it!
Also, from time to time, the UK channels show Spy Hard as well as the Naked Gun series on TV.
