Any programme, any season series, what episode?

For me it goes to The Simpsons, "22 Short Films About Springfield". The episode was hilarious, had a Pulp Fiction-esque vibe, you got an amazing bit of back and forth between Principal Skinner and Superintenedant Chalmers and, the icing on the cake, Chalmers saying "you sure do steam a good ham".

Sorry, can't decide between

Bottom, season 3 episode 1 "Hole" - Richie and Eddie are stranded on the big wheel at the fairground. It gets worse - the wheel is due to be demolished the next day!

and

Rab C Nesbitt, season 3 episode 6 "Cell" - Rab spends a night in the cells


Both have an absolutely minimal set with a single restricted location, leaving it purely up to the actors to make it work, and they succeed brilliantly

Spaced - series 2 - episode 5 - "Gone"

Where Tim and Daisy go on a night out that involves a run in with a gang of chav's and Tim's arch enemy Duane. Such a good series but this particular one stands out for me most and could happily watch over and over.

"You started it"



"No we didn't - you invaded Poland"

edit to add; can't believe there have been 16 posts and nobody has said Fawlty Towers. What has happened to this country!?

Possibly Scrubs, the episode where Dr Cox gets a bunch of donar transplants for his patients and they all end up dying of rabies.
