Comedy Connections was a BBC One documentary series produced by BBC Scotland that aired from 2003 to 2008. The show looked at the stories behind the production of some of Britain's comedy television programmes, showing how they tied in with the production of other comedy shows (hence "connections"). The show featured interviews with some of the cast and crew of the subject programme, as well as footage from the series.

The untelevised pilot for the aborted American remake of The Young Ones, directed and produced by David Mirkin (later a showrunner for The Simpsons) and starring Jackie Earle Haley and Robert Bundy, featuring a returning Nigel Planer reprising his role as Neil (the only returning member of the British original to do so).
