<h2>SO many people love Fawlty Towers, Keeping Up Appearances, Absolutely Fabulous, Monty Python, etc, etc.  The top shows are well known.<br />
I am curious which lesser known Britcoms are among your favourites.<br />
For me I love Fresh Fields/French Fields and May to December (I really like Anton Rogers).  I also would put Thin Blue Line and Come Back Mrs Noah on there.</h2>

I agree that it's genius, but no one outside of Glaswegians will understand it, not even a lot of other Scots.<br />
I posted on another board that the episode called<br />
Semmitry<br />
, S06E04 should have won an award for being the best show I've ever watched dealing with cancer.<br />

But if you're lucky enough to 'get it', it's genius. The early years were absolutely hilarious. Gregor Fisher is without doubt the best drunk actor I have ever seen.<br />

<p dir="auto">Loved the early Dave Allen shows (Dave Allen at Large) in the 1970s. Unfortunately, he became very crude and foul - mouthed when he came back on to TV years later. Not sure what he was trying to achieve. Possibly trying to keep up with younger comics. Still, he was great in his prime.</p>

<p dir="auto">In Australia, very few people have heard of The Worst Week of My Life, which centered around the misadventures of the bumbling Howard Steel, his long-suffering wife Mel, her humorless parents Dick and Angela and other characters, such as Mel's drama queen younger sister, strange uncle and Howard's loopy PA.  A comedy where everything possible goes wrong for the well-intentioned Howard, this is possibly the funniest show I have ever seen, but so obscure.<br />
While not strictly a sitcom, as it was more comedy-drama, one of the best British shows was The Hello Girls, which was made in the mid 1990s and centered around a group of girls working at a telephone exchange in the late 1950s.  So obscure and forgotten is The Hello Girls that I was beginning to think I had imagined the whole thing, until I found evidence that it actually existed on the internet.</p>

<p dir="auto">I know people have mentioned them already but "Spaced" and "Black Books" are my all time favourites along with Red Dwarf, but these are relatively well known. All the others are great too, oh and "The Mighty Boosh" I don't know how well known that is outside the UK.</p>

I don't think it's ever been released on DVD so it's not going to be easy to find unless your local TV service buys the rights, as hasn't happened in my area for a very long time. Only a single series was produced as I remember but it was very different and brilliant.<br />
