The wife and I have got into watching some comedy box sets of an evening instead of the drone of regular t.v, we have got through black books, the it crowd and psychoville. I am in need of some more recommendations to continue the laughter! All things considered old or new and we are not adverse to a bit of weirdness or obscurity. Thanks!

Father Ted is a must.

Frasier. (Unless you don't like US comedy.)

For me 'allow, allow' still remains one of the funniest ever

If you liked black books, spaced and green wing is a good bet.

Coupling. (First three series with 'Jeff' are best.)

[Edit. Someone got there first. Sorry.]

I remember watching it first time round when I was much too young to understand it, not sure my wife would let me watch it tho!

Allo Allo'! is brilliant... in parts. I still watch it occasionally, but some episodes veer from fantastic to boring.

Current favourite is Blackadder goes Forth. Fabulous.

Another one for Spaced here - only two series', but very funny stuff. A bonus if you like records produced under the Warp name.
