PHONESHOP! I seriously think Channel 4 is the HBO of Britain I laughed SO hard at this.. I might even prefer it to Peep Show

If you liked the original Office and Extras
You should check out:
Peep Show
The Trip
The Thick of It
Don't watch anything else before you watch all of those. Those are the only ones you need to see.
But regarding Black Adder and Red Dwarf. Black Adder isn't that great, but it's a classic and it has a cult following and everybody loves it (but it's not that great.) Red Dwarf is a highly clever scifi comedy that usually has very interesting/complicated plots that are pretty cool to watch, BUT the characters are EXTREMELY annoying, so you'll have to overlook how annoying the characters are to enjoy the very neato scifi plots. I'd say Red Dwarf over Black Adder (though, Red Dwarf has more episodes, so it will take longer to watch.) -

I can't believe nobody mentioned the two great Ronnie Barker ones
Porridge
Open All Hours
Sure, they're a bit old these days, but they are still classic funny. Very well done.
And how could you go past
The Goodies
The Thin Blue Line
Going straight (sequel to Porridge)
Hancock's Half Hour
Men Behaving Badly
There are so many to choose from. In fact, I'm kind of jealous if the op. It's like being a kid in a candy store really. I would love to be able to watch all these for the first time. -

It's not a Brit-com, but if you can get a previously owned DVD copy of "Mother and Son", it would be worth the money. I haven't seen it on our local PBS station for at least 20 years now.
This winner comes from "down under" [Australia] and it is one of the funnier 30 minutes shows you'll ever see. -
