Recommend a british tv show - comedy or drama

[swbsam]

I think I've seen all there is to see of American TV

Shows I like - U.S.
-Dexter
-Seinfeld
-Simpsons
-Breaking Bad
-Mad Men

UK Shows I like:
-Spaced
-Shameless
-Skins
-The Peep Show


Any suggestions?

Update Watched the first 2 seasons of the I.T. Crowd over the weekend - OUTSTANDING!

Thanks guys, any other suggestions? Fawlty Tower is next on the list

Update
Finished watching all of IT Crowd (A+) and Lead Balloons (B+). Watched inbetweeners but it reminded me a little too much of a lower-brow Skins. Also, I saw Black Books years ago and rewatched season 1 - my wife wasn't a huge fan. Any other comedy recommendations, in line with the IT Crowd?

Doctor Who
Foyle's War

IT Crowd

If you kind of like cars... check out Top Gear. It might be a car show, but it's technically an entertainment show.

I forgot to add that I do love Doctor Who, but I can't seem to catch up since there are so many seasons

IT Crowd is awesome, A++ (seasons 1 and 2 are on Netflix instant if you have it, I think they're only 6 episodes each)

I just started watching Torchwood last week and really enjoy it as well... I'm currently 3/4 through seasons 1.

Top Gear is the greatest show ever.

Fawlty Towers

WATCH IT, you can thank me later.

UK version of The Office. I find it far more humorous than the US version, which in actual fact I don?t really find that funny at all.

Only 4 or 5 in the modern show.

 

[SunSamurai]

Black Books hasnt been mentioned? Bastards.

 

[Buttzilla]

Top Gear definitely. Those guys are so funny.

You don't really need to be into cars for Top Gear. As long as you don't totally hate and despise them - you can get a kick out of Top Gear - especially if you're just watching for the challenges, races, and specials.

 

[Aikouka]

Just as a note with Top Gear, you may want to start with Season 2, because Season 1 with Jason Dawes instead of James May was much, much more dry.

Someone's been trying to get me to watch that for awhile now. I'm a bit reluctant, because I usually don't like British comedy.

 

[DaveSimmons]

MI-5 / Spooks

Another recommendation for The IT Crowd--great show.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is fantastic.
