Given that it's a pre-watershed "family" show, the first couple of series of this are absolutely brilliant. I'm not sure I've seen it in a couple of years though.
Yup. It's well funny without being vulgar or having profanity.

I've been to one of Matt berry's gigs. I was expecting comedy. I got music, a lot of pretty cool psychedelic stuff. And I saw this played live :h:

Mitch Hurwitz said somewhere that Arrested Development is essentially a British comedy, just made in America.

In terms of actual British comedies, can't beat Darkplace, AlPal, Psychoville and Peep Show. Too good.

(they are both mentioned on the list I've just seen, both very highly recommended)
Criminally underrated, Blue Rat episode was absolutely ridiculous
