To mark the launch of TV show We Have Been Watching, comedians have taken part in a study to reveal their favourite British TV comedy moments.

Over 100 professional comedians including Ricky Tomlinson, Russell Tovey, David Baddiel and Jenny Eclair were surveyed by Gold TV Comedy to find out their favourite sitcoms, actors, characters and one-liners.

This was to mark the launch of new series We Have Been Watching on Gold, in which Britain's best-loved comedians watch and comment on clips from classic sitcoms and sketch shows, both old and new.

Of course, TV classics such as Dad's Army, Blackadder, The Office and Fawlty Towers feature heavily in the most-loved list, as voted for by the comedians themselves.
