I thought it was brilliant. A cross between Monty Python and Mr. Bean. Are there any other off the wall comedies worth checking out? I also loved "Detectorists."

We watched a little of detectorists... Rosemary and Thyme might be something you like as well. Or off to Acorn with Brokenwood Mysteries

A more adult themed choice would be Episodes. (not for every taste but very funny).

(18,183 posts)Jack Whitehalls Travels with My Father. HILARIOUS!!!! Ive never laughed so hard over any tv show....some serious moments but mostly ROTFL. NO laff trax!
But other recommends are anything with Martin Clune, The Darling Buds of May, The Man who Lost his Head, Doc Martin (of course), The IT Crowd (another rotfl)
and for something less hilarious but so good: The Midsomer Murders
