Spaced.
Black Books.
Arrested Development.
Better Off Ted.
Blackadder.
I'm Alan Partridge.
Darkplace. (Okay, that's not a proper sitcom, but they still should have got a second series!)

Black Books could come back!

Nobody has mentioned Only Fools & Horses. ;)

I think most would think that finished too late.

The Peter Principle?

I can't even find a DVD of Dr. Willoghby! There doesn't seem to be one in existence. I found this funny when it aired briefly over here.

No DVD has ever been released, though it is on YouTube

Add Whites to the list. The last episode is shown this coming Friday (Apr 1) on BBC HD.......so it'll probably be the last time it will be shown. :(

Also notable for having a funny comedy character who was never seen.
Was his name Arif? Always winding up sweary Len the security guard.

Sweary Len is f**king funny, I work in security and he typifies everyone I work with, they are f**king bastards but you've got to love em, characters the lot of them, f**k this I need a fag.

Another series of 15 Storeys High would've been nice...

Lol. Whistling nnocently

It's not British but, Joey could have continued. At least until Le Blanc went grey.

I thought Joking Apart ended way too early. I haven't seen it in years...I do recall it being pretty good though.

I discovered a Bob Larbey comedy called Hope It Rains on YouTube. Wish there had been more than two seasons -- for that matter, wish that at least those two seasons could be purchased on DVD.

Wish the Mulberry storyline had been finished....

Agree, I'd also quite like to see Sean Lock in a new sitcom too. He's ace.

I can't be the only person who thinks Home Time was a work of genius? The fact that it didn't get a second series is madness. Especially when you think of some of the dross that does get recomissioned...

The High Life!
