Comedy series of the BBC, from the surreal Goon Show and Hancock's Half Hour to The Navy Lark, Round the Horne and ITMA. A work belongs here when its article calls it a BBC radio comedy. It excludes panel games, which sit with the quiz shows. Programmes are placed by the format their cited article names for them, and each programme sits in exactly one group of this subcategory, so a series that fits two formats goes where its article places it first.
