Hmmm, not all that many. No doubt I will be kicking myself when I am reminded of those which I have currently forgotten.
Well, now that I have given myself more time to search the old memory banks I am kicking myself for forgetting one or two of the British Comedy series which are featured in the list below.
One Foot In The Grave. I don't believe it! How could I have forgotten Victor Meldrew?
Only When I Laugh. I'm h-a-p-p-y, I'm h-a-p-p-y, I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm h-a-p-p-y. One of my favourite's. Hospital comedy starring Richard Wilson, James Bolam and Peter Bowles.
Never The Twain. Another favourite of mine in which Donald Sinden and Windsor Davies are antique dealers.
Tom, Dick & Harriet. I principally remember this one because of a stunt that wen't badly wrong. Ian Ogilvy and Lionel Jeffries were in a car which ended up at the bottom of a river. Fortunately, Ogilvy and Jeffries escaped before they were drowned.

For comedy fans in the UK. You may be interested to know that Channel 4 is broadcasting Who Killed The British Sitcom? at 9pm this evening (Monday). It's about the rise and fall of the British situation comedy.

Really? In your opinion, is that a true assessment that Brit-Sits are really dead?

Here's a stat that may interest you. In 1984 British terrestrial TV commissioned approx 60 situation comedies. In 2004 only seven were commissioned. So, while the situation comedy is not actually dead, it's not that far off, in my opinion.
The preview in my newspaper states that British comedy hasn't got worse - rather, it has spread out into other genres, largely leaving the traditional sitcom format behind. It also mentions the competition from the US sitcoms saying that they have kept their sitcoms going much more effectively thanks to their formidably sharp writers. However, even US comedy is now heading into post-sitcom territory, with shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development and My Name Is Earl. It seems the US sitcom, too, is dying.

Cable not-withstanding, just how many regular channels are available to British television? Reason why I asked was in an earlier post there was mentioned ITV properties as well as BBC's.
Are there specific target nights for comedies to air there just as here to try and capture the largest audiences?

USA Cable Options. OK...the USA has been cutting back on situation comedies for year...that is a given. There are two issues that are are making this change...ONE = the "really" good situational comedies aimed at the adult audience are on stations that typically require a higher monthly cable charge...and TWO = "Reality" shows have taken over in the USA. However, at this point in time, most Americans are fed up with the reality shows, but the stations are milking them for all they can until the next sensation comes along.
We were very lucky to have great shows like "Laugh In", "Saturday Night Live", "In Living Color" to offset the boring sitcoms we had. About the only ones in recent years that really held the American audience was "Seinfield" and "Frasier" on regular cable.
Sure there might be an audience for some of the sitcoms now days, but it is not huge. There is more interest in crime shows such as "CSI" and "Law & Order" etc. with adults. The kids of today in the USA are busy playing on the Internet and Gaming to watch the rediculous stuff on TV. If TV in America wants to survive future genrations, they are going to have to do something interactive.
All of my favourites have already been mentioned but for the record they are ... not in any particular order:
1) Fawlty Towers
2) The Thin Blue Line
3) Phoenix Nights ( especially the episode when
they have the fun day - brilliant)
4) Only Fools and Horses
5) The Office
Honourable mention to Porridge and To The Manor Born.
I think Extras may get in this list later on in life ... its a grower.
As much as I love all the above, my absolute favourite comedy of all time is American and thats 'Frasier' - genius. ( though I think its quite British in its humour - very dry)
Cable not-withstanding, just how many regular channels are available to British television? Reason why I asked was in an earlier post there was mentioned ITV properties as well as BBC's.
Are there specific target nights for comedies to air there just as here to try and capture the largest audiences?
We have 5 main terrestrial channels ....
BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and the baby of the the group Channel 5.
They all have their fair share of sit coms but the most successful over the years have generally been on BBC1 but then The Office was only ever shown on BBC2 and 'Father Ted' was a Channel 4 baby.
Now with cable/digital there are numerous channels, ITV 2 & 3, BBC3 & 4, E4 and many many others so there is usually something running at some time. I did see Rising Damp again recently but I cant remember which channel it was.
As for scheduling, it seems to depend on their audience ... Last Of the Summer Wine, early Sunday evening for the older folks but they are generally on through the week. Someone else will have to fill you in with specifics I'm afraid though Channel 4 do tend to put the big American ones on on a Friday evening.

My knowledge of British comedies is quite dated and sparse, but here are my favorites:
Monty Python's Flying Circus - This is almost like a universal language. People everywhere know the material, and it can become an instant icebreaker. I was in Finland a few weeks ago, found out that a Finnish client of mine was a fan, muttered "Japanese Sage Derby" to her, and off to the races we went naming cheeses. We then moved on to the dead parrot and other classics.
Absolutely Fabulous - Just that. Rarely have I guffawed as loud or as often as I have at the antics of Edwina Monsoon and Patsy. Jennifer Saunders is truly a great talent, IMO.
The Goon Show - This was basically my introduction to British comedy, through some old reel-to-reel tapes a friend sent me when I was a teenager in the late 1970s. An old 1950s live radio sketch show, featuring Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Seacombe. Very non-PC, the content would never fly today. Sellers did so many different roles, it was easy in hindsight to see how he did Dr. Strangelove so well. Behind the scenes must have been interesting -- Milligan was certifiably nuts, and Sellers had major issues as well. The studio atmosphere must have been tumultuous, to say the least. Ah, but from such cauldrons genius is born...
Just saw Black Adder last night for the first time....HOW BRILLIANT IS THAT SHOW!!! It was hysterical. I really love Rowan Atkins, what a comedic genius.

Which series was it? They get better as they go along with Blackadder Goes Forth being my personal favourite.
Vampy reporting to detention garbed in all black leather, spiked heels, knuckle rings, glock -locked & loaded, coiled bull-whip hanging from belt-clip, i-pod playing best of Bond, cigarette at corner of lips, flask of vodka martinis, and an attitude. Bring on the discipline. -{

Too many I suppose to mention. It should be noted though, that I simply detest Only Fools & Horses. Just never got it, and repeated WAY too much.
Here goes, in a rough order...
Fawlty Towers
Dad's Army (Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler? That alone. Polite to the last! ) )
Allo' Allo' (British, French and German stereotypes galore)
Blackadder (particularly Goes Forth)
One Foot In The Grave
Still Game (HEY, ENGLAND!! I believe you've only just recieved this BBC Scotland Glaswegian comedy in it's third series )
Father Ted
Vicar of Dibley
Absolutely Fabulous
To The Manor Born
The Office
Terry & June
Rab C Nesbitt

Keeping Up Appearances
EDIT: Just realised that 3 of my top 4 comedies are based on WWII and WWI - we sure know how to laugh at our darkest hours!
Indeed, and that's the bad news. For a start, despite being popular at the time, it wasn't a "cult" hit and didn't inspire any catchphrases or strong following for any particular character. Second, Keeping Up Appearances was last aired in the UK 11 years ago, despite repeats (like earlier this afternoon on BBC1), other than Hyacinth Bucket the others haven't remained solid in memory. And third, the BBC is notoriously miserly in terms of merchandise for its programmes. It is not a commercial organisation (state-owned), carries no adverts of any kind and does not advertise itself in the UK, so any merchandise outside BBC produced DVDs and books would be "unofficial", by novelty t-shirt companies etc. I know, they're missing a truck load of money, but that's the Beeb for you.
Since nothing like that existed at the time, it's extremely doubtful it does now. Best bet is to get an image and caption together yourself, and get one printed somewhere.

Yep, we finally got to see this gem of a series last year (we did have a good chat about it at the time, M5)- but, as you rightly point out, we only started at the third series. We did get the Christmas special as well - thanks BBC - and I hope they decide to air the previous two series in England as well, as this show deserves to be a hit here too.
