You've mentioned some all time classics, from when comedy was allowed to be funny and snowflakes didn't exist.
Another from the 70s is Fawlty Towers, it only ran for two series but that didn't stop it from being one of the all time classic British sit coms.
Bottom was absolutely hilarious, I still watch it and wish I'd been lucky enough to see it live on stage.
However, every one of those mentioned pale into insignificance compared to the hilarious and brilliantly written Only Fools and Horses, probably the best sit com in the history of comedy.

When you consider those guys were paid peanuts for some truly original stuff that was soundly rejected by commissioning heads at the time for being too surreal....must have been frustrating.

And the films !
Thank God for George Harrison or we might never have seen any of it.

Nobody else in my family liked Monty Python, but I watched them whenever I could. I loved their humor.

I remember when it first appeared on PBS in Albuquerque in about 1975. I had never seen anything like it. I was hooked from the beginning. Still am.

Another early British gem from the 70s was „Some Mothers do ‚ave‘ them with Michael Crawford

Just been listening to the BBC radio show that inspired PYTHON -- THE GOON SHOW.
