It used to be that we watched a lot of British comedy.

These are some of my favorite shows:

Yes! Brit humour is absolutely killer!

I need to look up some of these shows (again) -- maybe they're on the interweb somewhere.

A few years back, I found Doc Martin.  Great British humor. I believe the series has 'run out' to its logical conclusions through six seasons.  I watched at least a few seasons and really enjoyed it.

I stand corrected!  The 10th season will air in 2020 according to wikipedia.  It has been years since I owned a television, so had no idea it was still running.

[Edited to add:

"Keeping Up Appearances" always reminded me of my mother, in a not-so-flattering way; she didn't exactly pronounce our last name in French, but she was just that much shy of Hyacinth.

A few years ago, she told me she'd discovered the most hilarious show...guess what it was? She loves "KUA" now and has every episode memorized. ]



Ah! And don't forget:

We also like the Vicar of Dibley, Chef, Absolutely Fabulous and Mulberry. We have all the Black Adder seasons too.

Great thread! I just want to add "As Time Goes By". The episodes when the cast is in the country are my favorite. I also Mr. Bean and Wallace and Gromit.

You should never forget that every creature has its purpose in the cycle of nature and can also be very important to humans. Sepp Holzer's Permaculture

The Good Life - required viewing for any Permie!

The perils of "escaping the rat race" and dropping out of society - to start a farm in Surbiton.

In real life, I’m Tom and my wife is Margo!

Alternatively: since Margo was a 1970s stay at home wife, and your other half is a 21st century superwoman: you're Tom and your wife is Gerald!

(Hopefully that came across as more Brit humour?)
