BSG Review:

Many people have classed this as a comedy drama rather than a sitcom however we've included it in our list as we think it ticks most of the sitcom boxes. Whatever genre this warm and gentle comedy fits into the most important thing to mention is that it's quite funny. Some of the situations George found himself in were very funny actually. Let's hope ITV commission a second series as it's about the only funny thing they broadcast in 2006!
