Which classic British sitcom holds up best for a rewatch in 2024?

Few shows capture the heart of working-class Britain like this Peckham masterpiece. Whether it's the chandelier scene or 'You plonker, Rodney', it never gets old.

John Cleese's perpetually furious hotelier Basil Fawlty remains one of the greatest comic creations in television history. Just twelve episodes and it somehow feels like a lifetime of suffering.

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's Slough-based mockumentary changed comedy forever. David Brent is still painfully, brilliantly unwatchable in the best possible way.

From the medieval court to the trenches of WWI, Edmund Blackadder's withering sarcasm works in any century. Baldrick's cunning plans remain magnificently useless throughout.

Edina and Patsy stumbling through Nineties London fashion and excess is pure, gloriously daft television. Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley are an iconic double act who deserve a national monument.
