No wrong answers. Could be a game show, docu-series, fiction, sci-fi, anything that didn’t make it but should have.
Black Books was great.
Inside Number 9. I don’t hear much talk about it, but for me, it’s up there with Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, etc. for a series of short stories with twists.
I forgot about Look Around You. Classic stuff.
I used to watch As Time Goes By with Judy Dench and Lionel somebody. That was funny.
Also there was one called “Good Neighbours” in American Syndication, and The Good Life in the UK. It was weird and funny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Life/_(1975_TV_series)
2005’s the robinsons with martin freeman and hugh bonneville
it was so good but so short and it’s so hard to find again
Anyone remember A Very Peculiar Practice? I watched again recently, it still holds up.
Life On Mars
Googlebox
Chewing gumChewing Gum deserves the same praise as Fleabag
The misfits. A show about a group of working class juvenile delinquents who suddenly get random super powers.
The young ones
Fuck me, good pull. Extremely underrated!
Loved the bands on there!
That introduced me to Motorhead and then to full on grindcore
That’s what I love about summer.
Tea on the lawn.
Summer’s a bummer.

Spaced (1999–2001).
I’m genuinely curious how well known or underrated this one is.
Along with the mighty boosh (which is very… different) it is required viewing.
Does That Mitchell and Webb Look count?
Not within the UK. It’s pretty well known in regard to UK sketch comedies here.
IT Crowd
Definitely worth mentioning but also definitely not underrated! We still quote it almost daily “Awright, 'arry? D’you see that ludicrous display last night?” 🤣
For us it’s always “Fire. Exclamation mark. Fire. Exclamation mark.” and Matt Berry’s “Faaaaatheeeeeeeeeer!!”
They just walked it in!
Father Ted is also incredible and highly underrated.
I Am Not an Animal - animated black comedy series voiced by Steve Coogan and Simon Pegg. Created and directed by Peter Baynham. Sadly the animation style was torturously slow to make, so only one season was made.
