As a Brit, I'm constantly amazed that Americans like Benny Hill.

Top of the list is Fawlty Towers. There's only 12 episodes, every one a 
gem.

Monty Python, of course, and it's predecessor "I'm sorry I'll ready that 
again", ISIRTA, on radio. ANd "I'm sorry I haven't a clue", still going. 
The Goons, and Hancock. All great radio. Hancock was also on TV - the 
Blood Donor, for example.

Back on TV, Absolutely Fabulous and Only Fools and Horses. Last of the 
Summer Wine. Yes Minister, Yes Prime Minister and In the Thick of it.

There's always the Jeeves and Wooster series, as done by Hugh Laurie and Stephen 
Fry.  I think this was after they did four, very short, seasons of "A Bit of Fry and 
Laurie," which had good bits.  During college they did a review with Emma 
Thompson and someone else that was great.

Which leads to similarly distant and hard to find specials, such as the "Beyond the 
Fringe" crowd.  (Which, in turn leads back to radio comedy, and the 
aforementioned and protogenerative "Goon Show" ...)
