VisitEngland has commissioned a poll on the best comedy-related destinations in order to promote these places as viable places to visit under the ComedyEngland.  Marketing manager at VisitBritain, Laurence Bresh said: “England is renowned for producing some of the best comedy in the world and our sense of humour is a trait that the English are famous for.”A bizarre idea, but interesting at the same time.  The list, then:

1. I’m Alan Partridge: Norfolk, Surrey and Hertfordshire

2. Last of the Summer Wine: Yorkshire Dales

3. Fawlty Towers: Torquay and Buckinghamshire

4. Only Fools and Horses: London and Bristol

5. Absolutely Fabulous: London

6. The Office: Slough and London

7. The Vicar of Dibley: Buckinghamshire

8. The League of Gentlemen: Peak District

9. Morecambe and Wise: Lancashire and Hertfordshire

10. The Royle Family: Manchester

And there I was thinking that the North of England would be seriously underrepresented… bit like the Comedy Map of Great Britain though, isn’t it…?
