33. Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle (BBC2)

There won’t be any more Vehicles, to the dismay of its small army of fans, but what a way to go. Lee pushed the tension between Stewart Lee, the comedian, and Stewart Lee, the character he plays on stage, to extremes this year, culminating in a quite astonishing final episode in which the delicate fabric of the show was ripped in two and set on fire. Very, very rarely does an artist in any medium boast such control of their own creation – that Lee made us laugh hysterically as we marvelled at his daring was some sort of miracle. Jack Seale
