Two greatest British tv shows in recent history are This Life and Queer as Folk. Techincally they're not comedy but they're freaking fantastic.

I forgot his name, but he and Handy Andy hate each other. haha
One time they all had to switch places, and the long haired guy had to do all of the manual labour...and Andy was getting annoyed with him.

Do you mean Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen?? For home improvement shows I like Home Front (I don't know if you get it in the US). It's Laurence L-B and a
Irish gardener called Diarmuid Gavin. they do posh 3 week house and garden make overs.As for comedy....I'm proud to be british when it comes to our TV comedy...

I have yet to see French and Saunders...my favorite Vicar of Dibley was when the BBC came to tape a service and the girl who was doing the readings had to read out of an old bible. She couldn't quite get the "f" and "s" straight. lol

Only Fools and Horses!!! That's the perfect example of British comedy.

I Ground Force and Changing Rooms too! Although they aren't technically comedies, they are piss funny.
Also the Vicar Of Dibley. Can't believe I forgot it.
Alice is SUCH an idiot!
Alice: "well, the first time the budgie died..."
Vicar: "what do you mean the first time?"
Alice: "Well, he died a few times you see...but anyway, when he came back, he looked slightly different, but what do you expect, he had died after all"
Alice: "knock knock"
Vicar: "who's there?"
Alice: "Elton"
Vicar: "Elton who?"
Alice: "Elton John!"
Vicar: "Alice...with jokes, its meant to be funny"
Alice: "Well dont you think it would be funny if Elton John did knock on your door?"

We have some Mr. Bean videos, and my 4-yr-old thinks they're the funniest shows he's ever seen. Great for hours of peace and quiet at home 
I think there's a new Bean movie coming out?

Yep, it was British Sitcoms from 1950-2000. Obviously my prof is British and he's my favorite professor here. He always makes me laugh and we bonded over Alan...hehe.
