Running low on stuff to watch and want a break from US dramas. Keen for some fresh British laughs
Sort of stuff I have watched and loved:
Mighty Boosh
Spaced
Green wing
Office
IT Crowd
Inbetweeners
Fast show
Im Alan Partridge
League of gentlemen
So if anyone can add to my list I would greatly appreciate it.
Oh, and if you like a good laugh and havent watched anything above I recommend you do!

Try The Thick of It (and the movie, "In The Loop"). It has some of the best swearing in history.

Bottom

not a series as such more collaborations, but Harry Enfield, Katheryn Tate, and Little Britain are all good shows.
Check out summer heights high as well, its Aussie not British, but still quality.

Alphas...

Alphas was cancelled after the 2nd season, and it was American. Unless the Brits have another show with the same title.
-
no it is american, but coming back... but still a good show.
-
If you like little Britain there's also Come Fly with Me. Also An Idiot abroad is hilarious but it's not for everyone.

Monty Pythons Flying Circus
Also - Fawlty Towers
-

They shouldn't require mentioning.

Yeap, presumed knowledge
-
Presumption is a dangerous thing
-
Fresh Meat is okay if you like that kind of thing. Also The Inbetweeners.
-
Presumption is a dangerous thing
In certain contexts, not this one.
-
An Idiot Abroad is quite good too
-
A little more modern and probably not considered comedy but i found them pretty hilarious, Misfits and Shameless. i prefer the american Shameless but the british one is pretty much the same and the original

Man I feel old
-
Given I just rewatched all 3 series of it, I feel the need to include Chef! starring Lenny Henry
Salt - From the BBC show "Chef!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MixYRIUzVXs#)
-
Fairly new comedy worth a mention. Friday Night Dinner.
-
If you guys havent watched it: Plebs. Definitely recommend!
-
All oldies but I enjoyed, 'Allo 'Allo !, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, Benny Hill, Goodies and Young Ones all go without saying..

Dad's army and open all hours

The Goodies
Ecky Thump
On 24 March 1975, Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King’s Lynn, England, died laughing while watching the “Kung Fu Kapers” episode of The Goodies, featuring a kilt-clad Scotsman battling a vicious black pudding with his bagpipes. After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter, Mitchell finally slumped on the sofa and died from heart failure.
His widow later sent The Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mitchell’s final moments of life so pleasant.
