I need my fix and I've been away so long I have no clue about what is worth watching any more. Any suggestions most welcome.

Peep Show
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
Edit: also, Snuff Box if you like weird shit.
Maybe The Jam (by Chris Morris), and Brass Eye/The Day Today if you haven't already seen them.

Loved Brass Eye/The Day Today. Jam was completely fucked up - found an NTSC dvd of it, and after watching about three episodes in a row I felt high/in an altered state, it was bizarre. The baby boiler sketch still creeps me out:

My knowledge of British comedy extends to whatever PBS airs here. Which is all stuff that is decades old. That said, I still get a good chuckle watching "Are You Being Served?"
Mighty Boosh (Seasons 1+2, plus the live show, cannot vouch for others)
I have a feeling you'd like Outnumbered:

Hah - thanks! Though I might save that for a year or so - I have a feeling I'll relate to it more when the little one starts talking back.

Just reminded me - the long haired boosh guy is resident on never mind the buzzcocks now, along with Phil Jupitus. It's hit or miss and depends largely on who the other guests are but at least they sacked that Lamarr fuckhead so it now comes with 86% less annoying cunt factor.

Ohh of course:
Never Mind the Buzzcocks FP, WATCH IT.
Also, I miss Simon Amstell :(
I just recently saw the episode of The Office with the guy who plays Garth Merenghi. It was pretty damn funny. Boosh is good too. The play it over here on Adult Swim late at night. DArkplace was funny as shit. The other doctor on that show also appears on Boosh when HOward and Vince are working at the Zoo... I dont know any of these guys names though...
We've gotten this far and no one has mentioned The IT Crowd? That show was hilarious.

I don't, though he wasn't anywhere near as bad as Lamarr. Is good, though.
While in the area, Bill Bailey and Frankie Boyle are must-see comedians. The former will do shows about how boring taking acid is and giant ants taking over the earth and the latter goes dangerously close to horrormirth.
Most of the good shit has been said already.
Also search out anything that involves Stephen Merchant that isn't The Office.
Also, A bit of Fry and Laurie.
French and Saunders, perhaps?
