British TV programmes on Internet

PICK OF THE WEEK: The Internet may seem all too American in many ways. But, for lovers of British humour, there are a few sites worth checking out. The newsgroup alt.comedy.british is a great forum to trade quotes, gossip, rumours, and censored rude segments from popular British comedy. Also try the ftp site dixie.aiss.uiuc.edu:/pub/cathouse/humor/british.humour/ for a collection of transcripts of classic sketches and episodes from Monty Python, Red Dwarf, Blackadder, and many others.
