On my list, and if I had bothered putting them in order, it would have been in my top three (with Porridge and Hancock).

It's in my list too .. at No.2 .. or did you just ignore the lists so that you could say "Whatever Happened to Whatever Happened to", etc?

I am shocked no one has mentioned Paul Kaye's sitcom Perfect World. It's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen...from any country.

Yes, I totally agree. I only saw it for the first time a few months ago. Really couldn't stop laughing. Proper head-thrown-back laughs, too. Absolutely, sublimely, amazingly hilarious.

Righty 'o' then - best of British, here's mine. I'll do a thirty (going by how high I rated them at their best):

1. Blackadder
2. Fawlty Towers
3. I'm Alan Partridge
4. Peep Show
5. Rising Damp
6. Black Books
7. Father Ted
8. The Office (UK)
9. The Royle Family
10. Men Behaving Badly
11. 15 Storeys High
12. Porridge
13. Red Dwarf
14. Steptoe and Son
15. Monkey Dust
16. Green Wing
17. Grass
18. Only Fools and Horses (Grandad era)
19. The Mighty Boosh
20. Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em
21. Extras
22. Spaced
23. The Young Ones
24. Saxondale
25. The IT Crowd
26. The Brittas Empire
27. One Foot In The Grave
28. Hancocks Half Hour
29. The Thin Blue Line
30. The League of Gentlemen

In no specific order (otherwise I could be here all week and I have easter plans)

1 - Peep Show
2 - Only Fools & Horses
3 - Bottom
4 - Mighty Boosh
5 - The Young Ones
6 - Men Behaving Badly
7 - My Family
8 - The Inbetweeners
9 - One Foot in The Grave
10 - Curb Your Enthusiasm (not British but can I have it??)
11 - Alan Partridge
12 - Two Pints
13 - The Office
14 - Extras
15 - Fawlty Towers
16 - Porridge
17 - Game On
18 - Father Ted

At least they've got clips an "amusing" comments from Justin Lee Collins, Rufus Hound and some generic black comedienne.

Ah, I love that generic black comedienne, she's brilliant. Very astute.
