The mockumentaries; Cunk on Christmas, Cunk on Shakespeare, Cunk on Britain and Cunk and Other Humans.
Philomena Cunk is one of the most hilarious characters ever in a UK show

Have any of you guys seen Luther with Idris Elba... brilliant show and one of my favourites, I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned that, although not sure what exposure it had overseas?

Fawlty Towers. Beyond a doubt. I also love Monty Python. Carry On. Not the 9 o clock news. Spaced and more.
