OK have been putting together a list of UK comedies that reference Ipswich - either the town or the club. Any others spring to mind?
- Only Fools and Horses (Tickets for Wimbledon....v Ipswich) - The Office (Ipswich conference) - I'm Alan Partridge (King Road, Ipswich) - This Country (Sam Parkin transfer) - Here We Go (Ipswich zen retreat) - Thick of It (usual story we break is Ipswich manager resigns) - People Just Do Nothing (passport to go to Ipswich)
Maybe it's a key part of a comedy being any good or not...

I do remember in the 90´s there was a glut of Ipswich mentions in various comedic formats....the one that sticks out was the Vic and Bob book,which had what's on the end of the stick on the final page...it was Ipswich...I'm sure on bottom with Rik and Ade we got a mention.
I still have that book! Blue Action banner incoming!

Not comedy, but Ipswich gets a reference in both the TV adaptations of Tinker Tailor and Smiley's People.
TTSS - Ipswich is the game Sam Collins is watching when Operation Testify goes awry.
Smiley's People - commenting on young Mostyn leaving the service and joining a monastery near Ipswich, Saul Enderby observes that Ipswich is 'a bloody cold place to pray.'
Didn’t Mariner, Wark and Brazil all get a mention? We certainly held the ball for the entire scene!

Only fools and horses
An opportunity of a mention of Ipswich was missed in OFAH when Rodney got that pall bearers job. Del should've said 'I've got a pitch down Kenyon Street, Ipswich right near where your first job is.'
