The majority of decent British comedy programmes are snatched up by Channel 4 these days, but I must say Grandma's House is one of the best pieces of comedy writing not just on the BBC but on the whole of telly in a long time.
The series is a pseudo-biopic (/massive pisstake) of the comic Simon Amstell's life and his bizarre family, co-written by and starring Amstell himself. The writing is witty, clever and incredibly natural and believable, bouncing athletically from dry satire to total hysteria and back again.
You can watch all the series so far here.
