There were so many great British comedies that PBS allowed me to grow up watching: Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers, Mr Bean, Keeping Up Appearences, Are You Being Served, Blackadder. Blackadder was on for four seasons, each taking place in a different period of British history. I believe my favorite was the last, Blackadder Goes Forth, set during WWI. I've posted two clips; one with the ridiculously vulgar reoccuring character, Lord Flashheart, played by Rik Mayall (of Drop Dead Fred fame) and the other is the last scene of the series, which is really quite sad. It was a fantastic series, with an amazing group of comedic actors.
