Mine are:

1. The Office US

2. The King of Queens

3. Friday Night Dinner

4. Everybody Loves Raymond

5. GoogleBox

What are your hidden gems?

My fave recent one has to be What we do in the Shadows. Also love Mighty Boosh and various things Reeves and Mortimer have done over the years (incl Bob's Athletico Mince podcast). Father Ted and Blackadder are absolute classics. Someone mentioning Curb your Enthusiasm has made me want to start watching that all over again.

I absolutely adore Derry Girls, as my Dads from the City and I’ve visited several times, so I get the humour.

Phoenix Nights, I’m originally from Bolton and been to clubs that are (scarily) very similar.

Father Ted and IT Crowd

Peep Show

Alan Partridge

For the classics

Porridge, no music just clanging of doors, it actually felt like you were entering Prison.

Monty Python

And the first comedy I truly felt was written for my generation... The Young Ones

Blackadder the first series isn’t the best but they added writers and changed after that to be what it is.
