“As Time Goes By” can be seen every Saturday night on PublicTV....at least in my region.

Funny you should ask, I was just thinking about “The Brittas Empire” the other day. It’s a scream.

English humor is not my cup of tea, no pun intended, but I would sometimes laugh at Benny Hill.
“I like Chinese, they only come up to your knees”, I guess Monty Python had it’s moments.

I'm a big fan of "Dad's Army," partly because I think it stands up over time compared to a lot of the others. I much prefer it to stuff like "It Ain't Half Hot, Mum."
"Are You Being Served," "Fawlty Towers," "Monty Python's Flying Circus," "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Blackadder" are good as well, and I have a soft spot for "The Goodies." I've also come to enjoy "Last of the Summer Wine," but it took me a while to do it.
Not British - but still Commonwealth - is "The Red Green Show" (and "The New Red Green Show"); my son and I prefer the earlier seasons to the later ones, but YMMV.

Ripping Yarns, a Michael Palin and Terry Jones series is pretty good if I’m remembering correctly. It’s probably been more than 30 years since I’ve seen it.

I am British myself and would recomend you take a look at "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" the setting is a British Army "concert party" in Burma late in WW2 it was on TV from 1974 to 1981. It is never repeated on BBC TV as it is no longer considered "politically correct". Also Hyperdrive a Sc-fi comedy (2006/7) which only ran for two series but is very underrated.

Most of the stuff with David Mitchell and Robert Webb. They have a real early program which has the guy who plays Dr. Watson in the newish Sherlock Holmes series opposite Cumberbatch.
On YouTube, I've found a plethora of British game shows and interview programs that are really just excuses for comedians to show off a la Hollywood Squares. There's one called QI hosted by Stephen Fry that's generally funny and informational.
Here's one example of the sort of stuff Mitchell and Webb do:

I grew up on Monty Python and loved it. I found Red Dwarf when it was all but over and was a lifelong fan. I’ve tried a bunch of other stuff and am just about totally indifferent to it.

Man About the House ... it's what Three's Company was based on. Except the guy is not portrayed as the poofter the US version pushes.
Clochmerle ... You never heard of it, but it's hilarious.
The
League of Gentlemen is a must watch.
The Two Ronnies was good but by now pretty dated.

Here’s a dangerous recommendation. It’s about as crude and lewd as a series about teen-age boys can possibly be, but I thought The Inbetweeners was hilarious.
