Harry Enfield in the first series, would never have thought Neil Morrisey could improve on him, and Jan Francis very tasty then.

Red Dwarf
Allo Allo
Brittas Empire
Spaced
Goodnight Sweetheart
The Good life
The high life - Scottish comedy about a flight crew. Starred Alan Cummings.
Rab C Nesbitt
Still Game
Gary Tank Commander

I still love a lot of British sitcoms from the 70s, 80s and 90s they are still miles better than the rubbish made now. Although BBC Scotland have some great ones these days.

Some from the poll I still love watching are on the buses, hi-de-hi, only fools and horses, some mothers do have em and father ted.

Hard to pick a favourite..

Anyhow,

BlackAdder (series 2-4, didn't like 1)
Only Fools and Horses
Just Good Friends
Citizen smith.
Men Behaving Badly
One Foot In the Grave
Fawlty Towers
Yes (Prime) Minister
Red Dwarf
Till Death Do Us Part/In Sickness And In Health.
Father Ted
Outnumbered
Drop The Dead Donkey
The Royle Family

I particularly like the way that some of those comedies (OFAH and One Foot particularly, and to some extent The Royle Family) could go from comedy to drama and back to comedy again without missing a beat.

In your opinion maybe. Mine differs. Same for On the Buses.

One Foot in the Grave & Brittas Empire spring to mind. :)
