Moss: “You’d best put seat belts on your ears, Roy, 'cause I’m about to take them for the ride of their lives!”

Mike: Aren’t you coming in with me? Tim: I’m not your dad, Mike! Here’s your sandwiches. I’ll pick you up at five.
Upstart Crow is an excellent “period comedy” too.
Coo - I’m a big David Mitchell fan and never even heard of this. Thank you.
Only Fools And Horses
I downloaded this to show my Canadian SO, which has bedn delightful! We then caught Nicholas Lyndhurst voicing a hemulen in the Moomin kids show. I just wish I could show him young David Jason too, but we’ll get there …
Black Books!
Bernard: [selling a book] Enjoy. It’s dreadful, but it’s quite short.
Was going to say this, if no one else did
Best show
Love this one
Alan Partridge
If you’re sticking with that period of English comedy. Vicar of Dibley
Probably not what you’re looking for, but it just occured to me that Ted Lasso might be the closest modern show to this sort of cosy/wholesome British sitcom.
Also if you want something really on the nose, I seem to remember enjoying Rev:
Said it before i could!
Red Dwarf
Stoke me a clipper, I’ll be back for Christmas.
Midsomer Murders is reeeeally light intrigue in a charming setting. I could watch it all weekend, but I’m all caught up.
Coupling
The Mighty boosh
Spaced
Peep show
Peep Show is hilarious, but I would be loathe to call it “charming”. It’s mostly a “guy show” I think.
Coupling is a fucking gem. I’ve still never been able to bring myself to watch the final season that has no Geoff though.
Detectorists was awesome.
Detectorists is a masterpiece. Everything about that show is warm-hearted. Not even Lance and Andy’s rivalry with Simon and Garfunkel ever turns truly nasty.
