Just watched a few inbetweeners on sky. If your missing England you can't get better imo.
it grew on me...& love the dad of the short, blonde one who makes occasional appearances - naturally funny man.
it grew on me too. I hated the inbetweeners when it first came out. I was the exact same age as all the characters and had just come from private school back to the state sector for sixth form college and made it look like we were all briefcase wankers. Then i realised how freakishly and hilariously similar the though processes i had when i was 16 and conversations i had with my friends were the exact same as the characters!
I remember Skins was massive at around the same time, i think one of the inbetweeners actors commented "skins is how we all wanted our teenage years to be like, the inbetweeners is what it actually was like!" classic.
Spaced as previously mentioned is awesome. If you enjoy political satire, the thick of it is fantastic.

Mrs Brown's Boys - it's an Irish imitation of 1970s British comedy - refreshingly unPC even if it's also a bit cringe worthy at times. Swearing too on a par with a train journey to South Bermondsey on a match day!
Grass with Simon Day is pretty good, Snuff Box and Toast Of London can be quite funny as well if you like IT Crowd
Both of these I was a bit bewildered with what I was seeing after the first episode but stick with them and you'll be rewarded. Matt Berry is quality. No-one else rates Phone Shop then?
The Booze Cruise trilogy. Great writing And characterisation despite a couple of characters changing actor/career between the first and second shows. Neil Pearson and Brian Murphy and some sun lotion. Gem
just finished the first 11 you tube clips (1st series?), a really plaeasant chuckle jaunt, many thx silly billy:>)
+1 for 'Black Books', 'The Inbetweeners', and 'The IT Crowd'.
Not strictly British, and a bit older now, but 'Father Ted' should be compulsory viewing.
If you haven't seen 'Phoenix Nights' that is also well worth checking out.
'Man Down', with Gregg Davies and the late great Rik Mayall was the best 'new' one I've seen recently. I was hoping for a second series but I don't know if they'll be able to do it without Rik.
'Friday Night Dinner' is another more recent one which is also pretty good.
errr, british??? i requested great giggles from blighty please - i get offered enough of this fodder already just by living here. still working my way through all the other british suggestions, massive laffs, thx again all...

Black books is also amazing.

Each to their own though!
