I think IT Crowd is one of the best, at least my favorite. What would the "Flood"say it their best/favorite?
EDIT: And I'm sure anyone whose worked with computers can appreciate the clip. :)
EDIT #2: I'm myself am not British, but have become addicted to their shows.

You missed out Brass Eye OP

Looks like you already got Spaced on there. Nothing else I can add.
-
Yes, we get it. Britain has superior shows. It's just sad to see that's all you guys can brag about anymore.
-
Downton Abbey
-
An Idiot Abroad. Although it's technically a travel documentary, it's still pretty funny.
-
That Family Guy episode where they were British.
-
Where is Gavin & Stacey?! I demand it be put on the list, NOW!

Edited by Mitochondrion: 2/22/2013 8:15:21 PMTop Gear isn't a comedy. It's a motor show that is usually satirical. The best comedy absolutely ever is Arrested Development but that's American The second best comedy absolutely ever is Not Going Out (Other than Season 1 you laugh several times per minute without fail absolutely every minute without fail and even Season 1 is better than anything else other than Arrested Development and is still super hilarious). So I'll go for Not Going Out (By far the best thing on British TV. Even better than Only Fools and Horses (Not even joking)) Wait a minute, why isn't Not Going out up there? That's one of the most famous ones of the modern era.

There are no words to describe my disappointment at the lack of Peep Show on that list...
-
Wow, so nobody has mentioned The Vicar of Dibley. A great show over all but it has really memorable specials.
-
You keep saying you have forgotten certain ones and then post them when others list them, yet you still haven't put "Open all hours" on the list. The dam show is on right before Top Gear at the moment, and has one of the 2 Ronnies and the guy who plays del boy. Forgot their names :(
-
Balls of Steel, Urban Sports and Toju are muh favs.

I got another one: Are You Being Served?
-
Monty Python
-
Either The Young Ones or Red Dwarf.
-
There was one in the late 70's early 80's that was about a bunch of metal heads living together. I can't remember the name of the show, but aside from Monty Python, I can't remember laughing harder at a British show.
-
No open all hours??
-
The Royle Family. I don't see it on the list. Marty is disappoint.
-
Black Books.
-
I thought Balls of Steel was a movie.

Edited by goldhawk: 2/22/2013 10:44:10 AMBlackadder is one word. Add 'Still Game' to the list, 'The IT Crowd' and 'That Mitchel and Webb look' The Thick of It. ^ Best. Anything. Ever.
