[zipadeedodah]

Aww thanks very much! woo 5 stars! =D

Happy to have helped!

I can't believe Billy Connolly's number one! It's a travesty!

[Maggoty]

The fact that that awful rude american guy (dice man??) was even allowed air time was appalling!!

[spaced]

personally I find Billy Connelly totally unfunny

[eddiebun]

As soon as I heard the words Billy Connolly - I changed stations.

[darrensmith]

yeah i coudn't belive it either, made myself stay awake only to find Billy Bloody Connolly at no1 ! who the hell voted for this ?!

[Maggoty]

I wasn't asked to vote?? Gutted I missed Gervais, Izzard and Kay!!

[Dusty Bin]

Peter Kay and Eddie Izzard both in the top 3: wouldn't be a Channel 4 programme would it?

How can Rodney Dangerfield, Emo Phillips, Stephen Wright and Richard Pryor not be at or near the top.

Complete codswallop!

[Maggoty]

I must admit - Emo was brill!!

[Mattk]

Billy Connolly thoroughly deserves to be number one.At the top of his profession for 30 years whereas the others simply come and go.

Billy Connelly?...Fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[delboy3]

Billy Connolly disappeared up his own arse as soon as he started appearing in films and turned into a luvvy. Bernard Manning should have been No 1!

[Maggoty]

Bernard Manning!!!! Can't stand the bloke personally - not even during "The Comedians" days!1 However, give him his due he has never tried to reinvent himself. He is what he is.

[Dusty Bin]

Remember it's a C4 programme.

If it was on BBC, then Ronnie Corbett would probably have won!
