I have not watched many British tv shows, but my favorite is Da Ali G Show.

For those interested, Peep Show's 8th season debuts on November 9th. Not sure if it will be on BBCA or not, but I'm sure torrents/streaming options will be quickly available. Easy to lose track of that kind of thing since it's been 2 years since it last aired.

They had a show called Twenty Twelve that was an Office style parody of putting on the London Olympics. It was pretty funny. Also Come Fly WIth Me, was another show that had it moments. Martin Clune song from Come Fly With Me

I was never able to get into it. It's almost too British for me, if that's possible. Very quirky I guess didn't really appeal to me.

Only one I've ever really watched is How Not to Live your life. It was pretty funny, I'm sure there are plenty better though.

The Good Life "Good Neighbors"

Fawlty Towers - The Germans!

Coupling - Lesbian Spank Inferno! Great until Jeff leaves the show.

The Office

Vicar of Dibley

Recently I have enjoyed Peep Show and IT Crowd along with some Black Books. I liked Spaced but didn't love it.

It should. I laugh multiple times every episode.

Benny Hill and Absolutely Fabulous have to be up there with the sheer ridiculousness of the shows.
