Fab, thank you! I only need a few examples to liven up a powerpoint presentations, so I think I'm going to go with Mitchell & Webb, MGMT, Wills & Kate.
That's only one woman in six, and they're all white, so I'll keep thinking for examples that challenge that.. but at least it has the "normal people" (Mitchell & Webb) coming from Oxbridge and the aristocracy not, which is a bit subversive.
(I feel obliged to qualify that with the fact that I, personally, much prefer the Fry & Laurie example.. but I don't want to fill the entire list up with Cambridge comics and I've already got Mitchell & Webb)
