    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.

    Does it have to be British? With your list there, you’d do well to make a start on The Big Bang Theory.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Not British per se, but could I also put a vote in for Flight of the Conchords?
