Underrated and Overlooked Classic British Sitcoms

odyssey06

Can someone recommend underrated \ overlooked British sitcoms from the 'classic' period of 1970s and into 1980s?

I'm watching Rumpole of the Bailey and enjoying it - more for the character interplay than the courtroom stuff which I think is the weakest aspect of it.
Trying to think what could I watch next...

I think I've already gotten through most of the major series e.g.
Only Fools and Horses, Yes Minister, Likely Lads, Porridge, Rising Damp, The Good Life, Fawlty Towers, Allo Allo, Steptoe & Son, Minder, Blackadder.

But feel free to suggest an all time fave if I've missed it...

ps I've checked out Squirrels, Mind Your Language, Man About The House, The Lovers, To the Manor Born, Ever Decreasing Circles, Home to Roost, French Fields.

Any thoughts on Don't Wait Up?

You could try "Sorry". Its one of those that seem great in the memory , but actually turn out to be not nearly as funny upon viewing decades later. Still mildly amusing, though. "Language, Timothy!"

You dont mention "Bless this House" which was a classic 70's one with Sid James
