The Goodies was contemporary with Monty Python; ie 40 years ago when first broadcast. I loved 'em when I was a kid. I wish they would repeat them here.
The Young Ones was another gem and yet another Ben Elton creation. Elton was a good standup artist, too.
Another show I really enjoy is Outnumbered. On the face of it, it should be a dismal failure but oddly enough it's genuinely laugh out loud funny. It's about a middle class family with 3 children. If you ever get a chance to see it, do so. Hugh Dennis plays the hapless father but it's the children who are the stars of the show, particularly the little girl.
