I fell in love with Coupling a couple of years ago. Can't wait for season four on dvd so I can see it.

Red Dwarf is a classic, as is anything with the fellows from Monty Python in it.

Yay Coupling! I have always been a great Monty Python fan, but have just recently been able to get into more British television series, and I love them. Coupling and AbFab definitely need to be added to the list. To Americans: PLEASE don't watch the American version of Coupling and think it sucks. Make sure you get the genuine British one.

Guess I'm not alone on voting other for Coupling.

You should have seen the American version. :(
Let's just say that if you lived here and blinked, you missed it.

the last three of the five listed are all good. I would also include Brittas Empire, Yes Minister/Prime Minister, The Young Ones, Monty Python, and Bottom.

i was finally able to catch the young ones...wow it is random and definately has pythonesque elements but it's so stupid you have to try and think stupid to get it

I always found drinking heavily did it for me. Just a suggestion.

My favourite Brit comedy was the Piglet Files. Other greats are Red Dwarf (although that last season wasn't as good), the Yes Minister/Prime Minister series, and of course Chef!
