I liked Bill Hicks of the US comedians. I would probably have liked several more had I seen them. Of the UK comedians, my favourites were Spike Milligan and Peter Cook. The Goodies were also a unique and vibrant comedy team, who operated on a shoestring budget. They are often overlooked when people reminisce about comedy. The best comedy series I ever saw was David Nobbs, "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin", which featured the incomparable Leonard Rossiter.
