A bevy of BBC comedy bits
Take a trip across the pond (or just stay where you are if you're currently there) to check out a bevy of clips from BBC comedy programs they've uploaded onto their site. From shows well known to the North American market like Extras and The Office to more obscure ones there's a few belly laughs in every clip.
Click the "Watch clips" hyperlink under every featured show and click the show titles of the remaining clips that are indexed by show title in alphabetical order.
