**_This_** is British comedy.
I hear people talk about how much they love "British comedy". So I ask them what shows, specifically, and they tell me stuff like Black Books or The Inbetweeners or The IT Crowd. Basic, formulaic, safe sitcoms that aren't inherently British at all, they just have actors with British accents.
Nighty Night is dark, fearless, raunchy British comedy. I think Julia Davis might be a genius or misanthrope of the highest order to have come up with some of these character observations.
And I loved every minute of it.
