Most have already been covered...would add Mid Morning Matters, The Trip and Campus as recent ones.

EDIT: Oh and the criminally underrated Operation Good Guys.

That's a good list up there.
To add some:

I like No Heroics.
How Not To Live Your Life is also pretty good. I heard it's getting cancelled though which sucks.
Fonejacker.
I still watch reruns of Ab Fab when they are on too.
The Young Ones can't be mentioned enough.

I think you would like the Young Ones. Everyone loves (p)Rik Mayall.
Surreal anarchist comedy.

Not read that yet. Did you see Mid Morning Matters? Was 10 min episodes of Alan as a radio DJ and was made for YouTube in 2010/2011. He was on top form. Coogan and Brydon in The Trip may have been even better.

Yeah Mid Morning Matters is fantastic.. is there any news of any new episodes, or any new Partridge in general?

Haven't seen them mentioned, but The Smoking Room and 15 Stories High are both superb.


(they are both mentioned on the list I've just seen, both very highly recommended)
