in no particular order

father ted
only fools and horses (especially the early ones)
fawlty towers
spitting image
the royle family (the last two xmas specials were toss though)

and an honourable mention for last of the summer wine

LOTSW is controversial but I've only started watching these on Dave now. They were quite cleverly written. They're not split your sides humour but I find them funny.

Probably this^^^ but I'd ditch Bottom for Only Fools.
Phoenix Nights was brilliant.I still piss myself when I think of the little sketch at the end of each show of someone auditioning.One was a one legged teddy boy hopping about singing an Elvis number .The club owner fella said 'Yea very good but do you know any other songs' The one legged fella said 'Aye, Blue Suede Shoe.'
Superb!

Monty Python is top of my list. It gave me a taste for the surreal.

It's pretty amazing what Round the Horne was able to get away with in the sixties. Bona.

Victor Lewis-Smith's 10 minute radio slot on Loose Ends around 1990 was good, featuring superb bad taste and scurrilous attacks on Ipswich (not twinned with anybody, but in a suicide pact with Bhopal).

Going back in time, how about 'not only but also' with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Huge influence on all the Pythons. BBC wiped most of the episodes though even though Peter Cook offered to pay to keep them.

True enough. Another big influence on the whole of post-war comedy was Spike Milligan's surreal humour.
