There's always a Spaced discussion following the mention of Hawk the Slayer, though this one does in fact seem wholly unrelated.

I'm surprised kartoffelngeist did not mention The League of Gentlemen.
Seriously British comedy is a catalogue of greateness, it has such variety how can you possibly combine the absurd genius of Father Ted with say the subtle gentleness of Dinner Ladies. By far the greatest thing about this thread would just be a list including:

Peep show
Nighty Night
Early Doors
The Royle Family
Green Wing
Alan Partridge
Phoenix Nights
One Foot in The Grave
Coupling
The Fast Show
Catherine Tate
Little Britain
Porridge [I still love this]
Plus many, many more and I might add as a personaly Sunday night favorite from when I was a child at Granny and Grandad's for tea - Last of the Summer Wine, it may be cliched, pants and desperate for a culling compared with todays comedy but I think it still deserves it's place on our TV screens. Bathtub anyone?

I once won £25 from the TV Times Letter of the Week for stating there was still good comedy being made, but there are some oldies too.

My absolute favorite comedy has to be Malcolm in the Middle though, but that's US so I guess it doesn't count.
