British sitcoms have shaped our sense of humour for decades, from grimy flats to posh country estates. It's time to settle which one truly deserves the crown.
Put the items in your preferred order.

Fawlty Towers
Twelve episodes of pure comedic perfection, with John Cleese's Basil Fawlty raging against guests, staff and life itself. Still quoted in pubs half a century later.
Only Fools and Horses
Del Boy and Rodney's Peckham-based schemes turned a working-class sitcom into a national treasure. The chandelier scene alone earns its place.
Blackadder
Rowan Atkinson's sneering antihero travels through British history with Baldrick in tow. The WWI finale remains one of television's most devastating moments.
The Office (UK)
Ricky Gervais's David Brent made cringe comedy an art form and changed the sitcom format forever. Awkward, painful and brilliant in equal measure.

Peep Show
Nine series of the most excruciating flatmates in telly history, told entirely through POV shots and intrusive thoughts. Somehow more relatable with every rewatch.
