When you see something is missing:

Yeah. I can’t quite put my finger on what is missing. THE person lost IT somewhere in the CROWD.

You may appreciate 'Spaced': https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187664 and 'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace': https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397150
DarthGibbon
Garth Marenghi's Dark place is wildly underrated.

Indeed!

Peep Show and Extras are two great sitcoms I can recommend.

I can't understand that show, no idea why is funny but I am alone in this I know.

I grew up with this, super fond memories

Thank you! I used to watch this as a kid!
cyounghmfce
Only comedy where i was aware of the situation as a kid.
Pikkupanda
LOVE Are You Being Served.

Jeeves and Wooster?
MBdub210
THE FUCKING BEST OF ALL TIME! And so am una in that!

Captain Peacock, are you free?

*looks left, looks right* Yes I'm free Mrs. Slocumb.

I have to get home - if my pussy's not attended to by 8 o'clock I'll be stroking it for the rest of the evening.
decarnatedame
You're lucky to have me at all, Captain Peacock. I had to thaw me pussy out before I came.
peterbozeman
Mrs. Slocombe: Captain Peacock, I do not respond to any man's finger.

No love for As Time Goes By? It was a"gentle" Britcom starring Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer that kinda had a romance between the two characters where they met during WW2 and separated only to meet again in the 90s.
vanishinggirl
One of the best shows IMO!!
pdzoch
IT Crowd is a must watch. Black Books is very good also.
Iknownotofthesehandles
Green Wing!!! It's like the English version of Scrubs :)
Turkleturts
I didn't care for it. It had its moments, but I found it a little forced and uncomfortable to watch. Very unlikeable characters.

Mr Pedantic here, the Dads Army poster is for the recent film and not of the original tv series.
Solkanarmy
don't tell him, Pike!
raggeragnar
No problem. I’m passing time on a bumpy and very crowded trainride and missed that detail. Sorry !

Was about to note this as well so there are at least two of us.

There’s a film?

Two films. One from 1971 and one with a new case from 2016. That's the poster that OP used.

There's a film with the original cast, which is great https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066963 and there's a remake.... which isn't.
hanmerhack
I found the BBC Radio Audio series a while back and binged it on a long trip and it holds up just as well as the tv series
SirChadwellHeath
Radio version was based on the TV shows (as was the Steptoe & Son radio version)
vanishinggirl
A few more you might like; Father Ted, As Time Goes By, Coupling, The Fast Show (known in the states as Brilliant), My Family & People Like Us- the Brits have excellent shows- I’d watch British tv over American any day!
RancidOrange
Father Ted every time.
emberratbag
Coupling was great

No one talks about Bluestone 42 but they should! It was fantastic.

That would pair perfectly with that gaziliont glass of corner shop swill at 3 in the afternoon.

I love Doc Martin. Watched a lot of it while I was getting chemo.
raggeragnar
Are you alright?
chbarts
I've been in complete remission for over a year. Cancer's probably not coming back, as per my oncologist, so I'm doing fine. I'll be doing even better four or so years from now.
raggeragnar
That’s really good to hear.
Nuraalek
My recos - Open All Hours, Porridge, Dinnerladies, Chelmsford 123, Drop the Dead Donkey (that's very British & u may not get the references)
AbelardSnazz
When I was a kid I wanted to be in prison because Porridge made it look great
emberratbag
Drop the Dead Donkey was brilliant, also try Coupling
MorgulTheFriendlyDrelb
The first two starred Ronnie Barker, one of the finest comic actors Britain ever produced.
AttilaTheHungover
Chelmsford 123! I loved that show. I think that's where I first saw Rory McGrath (among others).
raggeragnar
Thx ! I’ll have a go.
derekjohn
DTDD - strangely forgotten and I've never seen a re-run. Anybody know why ? Too topical at the time ?
MrE158
I definitely saw some re-runs on (I think) Dave in the past few years. It's probably not attractive for re-runs because it's so topical.
AbelardSnazz
Recently revived as a stage show featuring many of the original cast https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2023/may/30/newsroom-satire-drop-the-dead-donkey-to-return-in-stage-revival
SirChadwellHeath
It was very topical, recorded days before transmission. Still available https://www.channel4.com/programmes/drop-the-dead-donkey
derekjohn
Do you think that it's very topicality has meant that programmers have not re-shown it because people 'won't get the context' ?
SirChadwellHeath
According to Wiki, reruns on Comedy Central Extra, often had a short review of the major news events which happened during the week of each episode's filming. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_the_Dead_Donkey#Repeats
Zapathasura
May I suggest you give this one a try. (sound on)
graehall
That had a bunch of eps pulled for being egregious blackface
vanishinggirl
They certainly pushed the boundaries! Watching a few make you cringe now.
nkbenj
only in small doses, the skits are very repetitive
Freeasabird2015
Nope, don't understand this one either 😞I was in a room with a few people watching this and I was the only one thinking WTF? Maybe it's an on the spectrum thing.

If you get the chance, try Bluestone 42, and Plebs.
raggeragnar
Thx ! I’m on it.
skipweasel
If you have trouble finding Bluestone 42 I may have accidentally left it lying around somewhere it might be found.
raggeragnar
In which post of yours ?
a2s2020
I liked Plebs series 1 and 2 but have never seen later episodes. How do they compare?
krogthedestroyer
Series 3 was good, started 4 and stopped a few eps in, didn’t like the new guy
a2s2020
Good to know thanks
jackodn
Good choices, check out The Fall and Rise and Reginald Perrin and Good Neighbors.
raggeragnar
Will do. Thx!
Tenzil
It was Good Neighbors in the US, but originally The Good Life (you can find it online free).
jackodn
The Fall and Rise OF Reginal Perrin. Sorry!
raggeragnar
Its all good. I found it.
