I really dont like British shows for some reason. I think it was from all the episodes of that show with the old lady that everyone call mrs bucket. Although I do like Kitchen Nightmares cause it has ******* chef Ramsey in it.

I don't know if it's on BBC or Channel four but there's a series called IT crowd that is pretty good.

There's also a guy called Matt Berry that's funny as hell.

+1 for Top Gear

Having grown up in North America I couldn't understand The Office UK. I know Rickey Jervais is brilliant and all but I couldn't understand what was going on most of the time - British humour I suppose.

The stateside version of The Office I quite enjoy.

Almost all of my favorites are from the BBC. Some from the past few years:

Coupling - Like Friends but WAY funnier

Jekyl - ******* fantastic

State of Play - Makes the movie look like crap in comparison

Life on Mars - Best series ever!

Ashes to Ashes - Almost as good as Life on Mars

MI-5 - This is what 24 should be

The I.T. Crowd - U.K. Office + Tech Support guys = Win!

Chef.

Captures the pretense and preciousness of the food/ celebrity restaurant craze years before American TV.

Top Gear!

A one hour show dedicated to cars in HD, which doesn't put you to sleep (car and driver) besides Jeremy Clarkson is a riot

Loved I, Claudius.

The Jewel In The Crown.

Also an odd little gem called Gormenghast.
