Full English + Popetown

Full English and Popetown are two British animated series. 

Full English aired last Autumn and Channel 4 pulled the plug on it before airing it's 6th and final episode. It has a similar spoof concept as Family Guy but apparently the similarities end there. Some big name voice actors were used, led by Richard Ayoade (of The IT Crowd fame) and Rosie Cavaliero with Darren Boyd, Lucy Montgomery and Simon Greenall.

Popetown is a very controversial animated sitcom that was co-written by MacKenzie Crook who, of course, was one of the stars of The Office, Kevin Eldon and several others and featured the voices of people like Matt Lucas, Jerry Hall, Ruby Wax, Bob Mortimer and Ben Miller. Originally slated to be aired on BBC Three, it never made it. I think that was around 2003. In fact, no one in the UK would touch it and it wasn't until 2005 that New Zealand channel C4 became the only TV station with the guts to put it out there.
