British Sitcoms? Which is your favourite and why?

Yes Minister/PM.

Ab Fab. Wickedy lol.

Ah, just remembered another favourite, Plebs.

Some Mothers do have them - who can forget Michael Crawford and Betty ?🤣- and I believe he did his own stunts. That’s what makes it special

In no particular order:

Bread
Allo Allo
Fawlty Towers
Blackadder
Are you being served?

Graham Linehan was a genius (possibly still is, although he has fallen out of favour.)

Black Books and the IT Crowd really make me laugh.

Not having lived in the UK from 1974 I missed out on nearly all the sitcoms mentioned until they were made available on the internet over the last 10 years or so. I missed the whole Victoria Wood era, for example.

Not sure whether it’s exactly a sitcom, but I’ve just remembered one I absolutely loved - Upstart Crow, Ben Elton’s comedy life of Shakespeare. Brilliant.

Still game is outstanding. If i need a laugh, watching Jack & Victor doing the Slosh has me on my knees.

As Time Goes By, The Good Life, Not Going Out, Vicar Of Dibley, Only Fools & Horses and presently enjoying reruns of May to December. So many golden oldies.

Yes Hyacinth and also My Family, I love Robert Lindsay, Zoe Wanamaker and Kris Marshall, a brilliant team

Yes Minister/ Prime Minister
Fawlty Towers

The good life, to the manor born and keeping up appearances. My 16yr old loves Hyacinth Bucket and can often be heard chuckling along as he watches the episodes on Amazon.

Keeping Up Appearances and To the Manor Born.
I think it would have made an amazing episode if Penelope Keith in her role in To the Manor Born could have made a guest appearance meeting Hyacinth in Keeping Up Appearance. There would have been some great one liners where the county gentry meets the social climber. In real life though I guess the ex owner of the manor would be impeccably polite and wouldn't show and adverse feelings. The only truly old school country set person I know is the kindest, best mannered and thoughtful old gentleman but it's good when art exaggerates possible scenarios and gives us all a laugh. I also liked Porridge ...a career criminal thief with a cynical wit. I wish there were more of these old style comedies.

Too many to mention!
Steptoe and Son
To the Manor Born
The Royale Family
Yes Minister
Blackadder
Dads Army
All Gas and Gaiters (when I was a child and my Mum loved it. I thought it was funny too!)
But my all time favourite is Irish! The brilliant ‘Father Ted’.

Someone mentioned Dear John, it was very clever. We still remember the characters - Ralph Dring and his mobile discotheque, Kirk St Moritz and his mum, poor John and his therapist " were there any....sexual problems?" . Very funny, Ralph Bayes was a sad loss.
Loved/love Dad's Army,Dinner Ladies, Only Fools, early Not going Out & My Family when Kriss Marshall was in it.

Fawlty Towers
Dinner Ladies
Keeping up Appearances
One foot in the Grave
Liver Birds

Vicar of Dibley
Ab Fab
French and Saunders

Derry Girls
Colin from accounts - I know it's not British

If we're allowed "foreign" ones then The Big Bang Theory, The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine Nine and the pinnacle - Call my Agent.

Ever Decreasing Circles; far and away the best. The dishy Peter Egan - need I say more?

Keeping up appearances (I know someone verymuch like Hyacinth) and vicar of Dibly last but not least Merranda

BlueSaphire Paul or Martin ? Silly Ann

Ab Fab
The Royle Family

Only Fools and Horses
The Vicar of Dibley
One Foot in the Grave
Some Mothers do have ‘em

Outnumbered and more up to date Motherland. Some of the older sitcoms are a wee bit middle class and after watching re-runs not funny. Try watching any of the Carry on films , they are awful

I didn't know you cared.
Hilarious Yorkshire dry and black comedy

Allo Allo
Drop the Dead Donkey
The Thick of It
