Thanks Philip,
I haven't watched too much british comedies as compared to american. I have watched coupling and IT crowd and I find them very funny and relatable. Then I watched spaced and had to wonder why people like it. I also tried one episode of big fat quiz of the year but I get too easily left off behind by their jokes maybe they are just too witty for me to comprehend.
