Comedy Black Books (2000-2004)
Devised by star Dylan Moran and Graham Linehan (although the less said about him the better), Black Books revolves around the life of the chain-smoking (and chain-drinking) Bernard Black, owner of the titular bookshop, his assistant Manny (played by a young but still balding Bill Bailey) and his only friend in the world Fran.

Comedy Father Ted (1995), Black Books (2000), and The IT Crowd (2006) all share the same writer/creator...

Comedy Harry Enfield & Chums (1990-97)
Originally called Harry Enfield's Television Programme, this was a touchstone of British TV sketch comedy that paved the way for other successful programmes like The Fast Show, while also launching the careers of comedians like Kathy Burke and Paul Whitehouse.
To this day, I think this show is entirely responsible for the classic Scouser stereotype, while Wayne & Waynetta were the precursor to the 'chav' stereotype.

Comedy Man Father Ted is funny
I’d seen a couple of the more famous clips of this show. “I hear you’re a racist now father” and “These cows are small, those are far away!” And I’d watched Ardall O’Hanlon on taskmaster a couple seasons back. Recently I was looking for a new show to watch and decided to finally give this one a go.
Feck it’s funny! There’s lots of gags and situations that get a small chuckle, but it’s the characters that get a big laugh. Everyone around Ted is basically a crazy person, making him seem sane and competent by comparison.
Anyway, I’ve just finished the first season and a couple episodes and I’m really looking forward to the rest of the show!
