Good British comedy (lemmy.world)

Looking for some good comedies. I looked at the top shows on Brit Box (streaming channel in the US), and most of them are police procedurals! I think the first comedy is Gavin & Stacy, which I haven’t seen but isn’t there something newer? My wife and I have enjoyed Coupling and Inbetweeners. Any suggestions?

"Back" is Mitchell and Webb's new show and pretty good, but anything with those two is great British comedy.

"Dick Turpin" on Apple has Noel Fielding, and he comes with a gang of Brits in everything. So not technically British, but a lot of Brits.

A lot of British comedy these days seems to be quiz/talk shows. Taskmaster has every season on YouTube, and the others like 8 out of 10 cats, or the Big Fat quizs get uploaded pretty quick to a couple different grey areas channels.

I really like British TV, but I never got Brit Box because, like you said it's almost all police procedures. They don't have everything even tho it's advertised like they do.
