Lots of Brits here, so we should get some good responses on this one.
So what are some of your favorite British television shows? Here's a few of mine. (Many are very old, I know, but I don't live in Britain so I take what I can get)
Open All Hours
Allo Allo
The Young Ones
The Darling Buds of May
Fawlty Towers
Monty Pythons Flying Circus
The Benny Hill Show
Doctor Who
Blakes 7
Waiting For God
Last of the Summer Wine
Are You Being Served?
Keeping Up Appearances
The New Statesman
The Black Adder (all series)
All Creatures Great and Small
Absolutely Fabulous
The Vicar of Dibley
Anything with Felicity Kendall in it. 😀
There's more, but I can't think of them all right now. I'll add more as I think of them. Feel free to comment on the shows on my list as well as posting your own.

Originally posted by Darius07That's what makes it so good. The Office is the same. More than 2 series and things start getting stale, jokes start getting old and characters don't develop anymore.
Fawlty Towers - Classic, its a shame they only made 12 episodes 🙁
If these productions were made in the states, then Fawlty Towers would probably still be going. Just look at the Simpsons. Matt Groening says that nothing more can be done with the series, and greedy fox keep on churning out crappy episode after crappy episode.
