My favorite UK COMEDY of all times is Coupling (UK version, naturally).
It is one of the best shows EVAH! Jeff FTW!
Some compare it to Friends, as it features three female actresses and

Coupling is cult for me.

Coupling naturally. The Giggle Loop is genious.
I haven't seen anyone mention Father Ted or Keeping Up Appearances

One must include on the favorite Brit shows
Fawlty Towers.
Red Dwarf
Blakes 7.
The last 2 have a comedic effect in the special effects.
By todays standards (or even then), most of them look like

There's always the Jeeves and Wooster series, as done by Hugh Laurie and
Stephen
Fry. I think this was after they did four, very short, seasons of "A Bit of
Fry and
Laurie," which had good bits. During college they did a review with Emma
Thompson and someone else that was great.

As a Brit, I'm constantly amazed that Americans like Benny Hill.
Top of the list is Fawlty Towers. There's only 12 episodes, every one a

Monty Python, of course, and it's predecessor "I'm sorry I'll ready that

I haven't seen it, but for some shows the question is:
