Shut up about it, you're making it not underrated anymore...
Don't know if they are underrated, but...
Flight of the Conchords
Lead Balloon
Monkey Dust
.... were all very good without seemingly being household names.
Keeping up Appearances, Antiques Road Show, Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, Doc Martin

I bloody loved 'Orrible - I know even Mr Vaughan himself says it was shit but I loved it
<Head down again>
I liked it.
Can I just say I am so happy to have discovered these forums - having waited about 18 months for the Chortle forums to stop dying.
A Very Peculiar Practice. Classed as a drama but I remember some very dark comedy esp from David Troughton (Patrick's son). Am off to Amazon.

ITV's great comedy epic which charted the progress of an ever changing group of medicos from their early days as youthful students to middle age. The best of the episodes were by writers such as Graeme Garden and Graham Chapman who were doctors themselves and whose scripts therefore had a ring of truth about them. Marvellous series, unjustly forgotten.
Still Game-Funny, well acted with the best bit part character ever-Naveed the all wise shopkeeper

Monkey Dust, yes. Only the first series on DVD, shame.

I'd go along with that. IIRC it was hidden away and quietly aired on BBC2. Great cast (I love Raquel Cassidy in whatever I've seen her in, and Anna Crilly is great).
oh and Early Doors as well ... do you like Circuses'
In this country?
How about 'Dinner for one' with Freddie Frinton?
It is a tradition in Germany. Been shown every new year's eve on the same channel for decades now.
