Look out for "15 Storeys High" It's fantastic and yet didn't make it past BBC3 over here.
I've just finished watching both series on DVD, and it's up there with the best comedies ever. Probably because I'm like Vince in RL! 
Also another BBC3 classic is Monkey Dust, especially Ivan Dobsky, the Meatsafe Murderer.

Little Britain was great for the first two series, then series 3 was total and utter crap. Possibly becasue it was pasteurised for BBC1 and edgy comedies are never any good when they became mainstream.
Likewise, The League Of Gentlemen. 1 & 2 were great, and 3 totally lost it for me.
Harry Enfield's last comedy series on BBC1 was a total tragedy of epic proportions. Someone forgot to tell him to put some jokes in. The comedy equivalent of a footballer's testimonal match. ("Now, take this money, f*ck off and never darken our doors again")
Ricky Gervais is David Brent. Great in The Office, but a one trick pony. It's not clever genius acting. Like Paul Whitehouse propping up Enfield, Ricky Gervais is propped up by Stephen Merchant.
Green Wing - genius, but last series concentrated too much on the Guy / Mac / Caroline / Blonde Bird romance and not enough on the comedy.
Blackadder - two totally different shows. Series 1, then Series 2,3,4
Series 1 is the best for me, but 2,3 & 4 are also great, just a major difference to #1.
Men Behaving Badly - has it's moments. ****e on ITV with Enfield (seeing a them building here?), got better on BBC with Martin Clunes & Neil Morrisey.
Father Ted - not sure if this was mentioned yet. Worth a look.
The Comic Strip Presents - very "hit or miss". The really great ones are Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door, Bad News Tour & More Bad News.

And for more excellent Scots sketches try Absolutely. Callum Gilhooley and the Soneybridge Council still make me giggle just to think about them Calum Gilhooley
Check out Mr. Don and Mr. George if you like that sort of thing.
