Matador is a Danish TV series produced and shown between 1978 and 1982. It is set in the fictional Danish town of Korsbæk between 1929 and 1947. It follows the lives of a range of characters from across the social spectrum, focusing specifically on the rivalry between the families of two businessmen: The banker Hans Christian Varnæs, an established local worthy, and social climber Mads Skjern, who arrives in town as the series opens. The name Matador was taken from the localised edition of the boardgame Monopoly, also the series' tentative English title. In addition, in contemporary Danish a "matador" is often used to describe a business tycoon, in the series referring to the character of Mads Skjern and his craftiness as a self-made entrepreneur. Directed by famed Danish film maker Erik Balling, Matador was the idea of author Lise Nørgaard who wrote the bulk of the episodes alongside Karen Smith, Jens Louis Petersen and Paul Hammerich. The series is one of the most well-known and popular examples of Danish television and represents the peak of longtime development of Danish TV drama by the public service channel Danmarks Radio. The series has become part of the modern self-understanding of Danes, partly because of its successful mix of melodrama and a distinct warm Danish humour in the depiction of characters, which were portrayed by a wide range of the most popular Danish actors at the time; but also not least because of its accurate portrayal of a turbulent Denmark from around the start of the Great Depression and through Nazi Germany's occupation of Denmark in World War II.

Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge is a BBC Television series of six episodes, and a Christmas special in 1995. It is named after the song "Knowing Me, Knowing You" by ABBA, which was used as the show's title music. Steve Coogan played the incompetent but self-satisfied Norwich-based host, Alan Partridge. Alan was a spin-off character from the spoof radio show On the Hour. Knowing Me Knowing You was written by Coogan, Armando Iannucci and Patrick Marber, with contributions from the regular supporting cast of Doon Mackichan, Rebecca Front and David Schneider, who played Alan's weekly guests. Steve Brown provided the show's music and arrangements, and also appeared as Glen Ponder, the man in charge of the house band. The show was a parody of a chat show.

Das Warten hat ein Ende – nach über 40 Jahren gibt es nun endlich eine Fortsetzung des bahnbrechenden Mel-Brooks-Films „History of the World, Part I“, wobei jede Episode aus diversen Sketchen besteht, die uns in verschiedene Epochen der Menschheitsgeschichte mitnehmen.
Eine richtige Geschichte gibt es bei der “At Last 1948 Show” nicht. Es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sketchcomedy-Serie. Wiederkehrende Elemente sind in der Comedyreihe dennoch zu finden. So gibt es quasi einen Running Gag mit der “lovely” Aimi MacDonald und eine Menge Charaktere kommen in verschiedenen Sketchen vor.
Die Sendung besteht aus einer Ansammlung kurzer Sketche über die alltägliche Exzentrik der Briten, die durch den Erzähler lose miteinander verbunden sind. Hierfür wird eine Reihe verschiedener Figuren beispielhaft grotesk überzeichnet dargestellt. Diese Figuren verkörpern zumeist soziale Randgruppen und die Abartigkeiten des "kleinen Mannes", weswegen ein starkes Stilmittel der Fäkalhumor ist. Die Kommentare des Off-Sprechers bestehen häufig aus absurden, in ernsthaft-wissenschaftlicher Manier vorgetragenen Nonsens-Informationen über Großbritannien. In den dargestellten Szenen macht man sich oft über „Political Correctness“ lustig. Ein weiteres Markenzeichen der Sketche ist, dass diese aus Serien mit immer wiederkehrenden Darstellern bestehen und die Pointen stets nach ähnlichen Mustern aufgebaut werden, wobei durch leichte Variationen des Ablaufs für Auflockerung gesorgt wird.
