I cannot claim to be a big fan of British comedy, although I did enjoy Doc Martin, although I consider it to be as much drama as comdey.
I love British detective shows: Midsomer murders, Inspector Lewis, Foyles War, Vera, Father Brown, and quite a few others as well. I have gotten to the point I rarely watch any shows made in the USA.

As far as British Humor goes and not necessarily Sit coms--I love Mrs. Browns Boys and who could forget Monty Python.
I'd get slapped for posting any segment of Mrs. Brown but here's some classic Python--

Do you watch Death in Paradise? It’s a really good murder mystery show with a British detective on a tropical island.

Like quite a few in this thread, Last of the Summer Wine, so many great ones.
One that I loved that's not coming back is "The Detectorists", was an awesome show.

Back in the early '80s, when Fawlty Towers made its second round on PBS on Sunday nights in Chicagoland, my high-school friends and I would have gin-drinking parties in a friend's attic (think teenage den) while watching each episode over a twelve-week period (twelve episodes total). Really a great time! Still love that show.

What, no love for Fawlty Towers?
The best example ever of a show reaching perfection in a limited run, then stopping before it lost its magic.
Also, father Ted. And yes, I know it was created by, written by, and performed by Irish folks and not Brits, I'm throwing it into the ring on a technicality as it was produced for Channel 4.
EDIT: whoops - seems there was some love for Fawlty Towers after all. Note to self - read to the end of the thread before replying.
sharptonn and celticcrusader like this.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

The young ones, and the subsequent filthy rich and catflap were brilliant. There was another series with the same actors but the name escapes me.
