Moss: “You’d best put seat belts on your ears, Roy, 'cause I’m about to take them for the ride of their lives!”
Mrs Browns Boys is a good one, but a bit more risque.
Kingdom.
Stephen Fry stars as a small town solicitor in the eccentric town of Market Shipborough. It ran for three seasons from 2007 - 2009 and is thoroughly charming.
This sounds dope
Derry Girls
Black Books!
Bernard: [selling a book] Enjoy. It’s dreadful, but it’s quite short.
Best show
Was going to say this, if no one else did
Love this one
Red Dwarf
Stoke me a clipper, I’ll be back for Christmas.
Spaced.
Friday Night Dinner.
Blackadder.
Mike: Aren’t you coming in with me? Tim: I’m not your dad, Mike! Here’s your sandwiches. I’ll pick you up at five.
Upstart Crow is an excellent “period comedy” too.
Coo - I’m a big David Mitchell fan and never even heard of this. Thank you.
Corner Gas - it’s my happy place!
Oscar Leroy: [reading a book] This title is misleading. Are they going to kill a mockingbird or not?
Coupling
The Mighty boosh
Spaced
Peep show
Coupling is a fucking gem. I’ve still never been able to bring myself to watch the final season that has no Geoff though.
Peep Show is hilarious, but I would be loathe to call it “charming”. It’s mostly a “guy show” I think.
Kim’s Convenience
Schitt’s Creek
Probably not what you’re looking for, but it just occured to me that Ted Lasso might be the closest modern show to this sort of cosy/wholesome British sitcom.
Also if you want something really on the nose, I seem to remember enjoying Rev:

Edit: bonus recommendation for The Royle Family
Said it before i could!
If you’re sticking with that period of English comedy. Vicar of Dibley
Detectorists was awesome.
Detectorists is a masterpiece. Everything about that show is warm-hearted. Not even Lance and Andy’s rivalry with Simon and Garfunkel ever turns truly nasty.
