Hmmmm....

-Monty Python. This show shaped a great deal of my childhood
-Red Dwarf.
-Father Ted. BRILLIANT stuff!
-Black Adder (esp. the second and forth.) More brilliant stuff. It's amazing how quickly Rowan Atkinson could flip between dashing rogue and hideous little weasel. (He made a great Doctor as well.)
-My Hero has it's moments too. So does Hyperdrive.

One more mentionable is Da Ali G (aka Sacha Baron Cohen)

I know it was on HBO and not sure if it was shown in the UK but it was one of the most hilarious shows I have ever seen. I know everyone is a bit sick of his Borat character but if you go back to the original concept of the show of asking celebrities really stupid questions or playing on the prejudices of unsuspecting people, it was brilliant.

By far Benny Hill,I was just a little brat when it was on .Sat. night I believe,but it was great.Next would the Young Ones,a comedy that mtv use to air.The drummer always got his head chopped off.
