Its great to see Red Dwarf getting mentioned and the resulting discussion about other superlative British TV  but am surprised to see no mention of The Young Ones, I'd definitely put it in my top 3. Like Fawlty Towers there was only 12 episodes, but for over 15 years it barely seemed to leave the air.
