The Office
Allo Allo

Outnumbered
...
I'm Alan Partridge
Spaced
Porridge
Yes Minister/Prime Minister
Father Ted
Phoenix Nights
Peep Show
Brass Eye
Extras
Last Orders
The Royle Family
Open all Hours
Spaced.
Not seen it myself, but a few people have been rating Hebburn quite heavily.
The Inbetweeners is supposed to be good (I've only seen one episode, looked promising). Similarly, Fresh Meat, which contains a few of the actors from Inbetweeners.
Absolutely.
- Hyperdrive
- Spaced
Not so good (imo):
- The Thin Blue Line
another vote for peep show
Thick of it
Cuckoo
Does it have to be British? With your list there, you'd do well to make a start on The Big Bang Theory.
Inbetweeners
The Thick of It
- Hyperdrive
Really? I thought it was terrible.
another vote for 'The Thick of It'.
Peter Capaldi = excellent.
Hyperdrive (especially if you like Red Dwarf and/or Nick Frost). Not in the league of the others mentioned but I enjoyed it.
The Inbetweeners
Fresh Meat
Catterick
League of Gentlemen
Dads Army
Max and Paddys Road to Nowhere
Gavin & Stacey
The Young Ones
Comic Strip Presents...
Day Today
What about sketch shows?
Big Train
Fast Show
Still Game
The league of gentlemen
The worst week of my life
Not British but curb your enthusiasm
Agree with others SPACED is top
I deal with Johny vegas
Moone Boy [ f******* hilarious
Blue Jam if you like Chris Morris, weirder than Brass Eye
The Fast Show
One that hasn't been mentioned: Coupling
Coupling is massively underrated, one of the best in the past 20 years IMO.
Garth Marenghi's DARKPLACE.
Hilarious.
Coupling is great.
Mongrels is very funny as well, if you like you humour dark
Monkeydust - the darkest sketch show ever made.
partridge
peep show
thick of it
fawlty towers
porridge
all already mentioned above, but worth mentioning again, IMO.
Nathan Barley and How Not To Live Your Life.
Some great recommendations above
Didn't see The Green Wing listed
'I am not an Animal' was pretty good too if you can find it
Currently liking Hebburn at lot
I'm Alan Partridge will always be my favourite though
Early Doors
Pulling
The Fast Show.
That is all.
Nathan Barley was excellent.
Monkey Dust
Spaced
Jeeves and Wooster.
Coogan's Run
Early Doors
To be honest, if you've seen Allo Allo and Keeping Up Appearences already anything else will probably pale in comparison.
I find it hard to believe that Green Wing and The Mighty Boosh hasn't been mentioned yet.
My personal (recentish) favourites:
Peep Show
Green Wing
The Inbetweeners
Spaced
The Mighty Boosh
Flight of the Conchords - Britishness debatable here.
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
Hebburn and Fresh Meat, on at the moment are both good too.
Naked Video
Still Game.
Another vote for Yes Minister/Prime Minister
Not British per se, but could I also put a vote in for Flight of the Conchords?
