British comedy on MTV, mid-to-late 80s. Thoughts?

Own the box set. Haven't watched in ten plus years. Thanks for the reminder. Time to annoy the wife with some British humor.
Always enjoyed the mid-episode musical interlude. Motörhead made an appearance once.

Couldnt understand hardly any of the humor back then bc i didnt understand some of the words and terminology used by the Brits back then. I am gonna give it another try bc i loved the era.

An all-time favorite. Had them on VHS in high school.

Youtube recently had a 25th anniversary video about the series that was pretty good and talked with some of the cast today:

Obscure comedy gold. I loved that show!
The one where the government imposes a television tax so when the tax collector comes snooping around Vyvyan eats the Tele.
Now I need to go watch some of those

How 'bout Vyv making a raging homicidal maniac potion - which was a "cure" - for NOT being a raging homicidal manic. 
Then he puts it in a coke can "so nobody would drink it by mistake."

I was very young when that show came out. The only episode I remember was when the punk rock guy was pregnant.
