Live Final

Weeks of voting to find out what tickles the nation's funny bone reaches a climax as Jonathan Ross hosts the grand final from BBC Television Centre in London. Each of the ten advocates, Jack Dee, Ulrika Jonsson, Rowland Rivron, Clarissa Dickson Wright, Jon Sergeant, Johnny Vaughan, Armando Iannucci, David Dickinson, Carol Vorderman and Phill Jupitus, are given a last chance to persuade the audience to vote for their comedy favourite in a head-to-head debate. The shows themselves, beloved gems Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, The Vicar of Dibley, Yes Minister, Open All Hours, Dad's Army, Blackadder, Porridge, One Foot in the Grave and The Good Life are eliminated two at a time, with any further polling focused exclusively on those remaining.
