Hey, I forgot to mention The Mighty Boosh. Just as good as peep show.

It's true that Spike Milligan set the trend which Python followed, but this probably precedes his Q shows. Perhaps the real roots of Python lie in The Goon Show (which the young Pythons would probably have grown up listening to).
How come there are no books on this list, anyway? British humour started long before television, you know! Henry Fielding's novels are a great laugh (anyone who calls one of his lead characters 'Lady Booby' has won my vote already).

I dunno why I liked Benny Hill as a kid. I think it was the boobage.

Hey! Fawlty Towers and Men Behaving Badly aren't even options?
Monty Python is still the winner, of course. Aside of being very amusing their program has been the most influential, and what I particularly like, part of the revolution that started in 60s but was never completed.
Btw, for some reason the Fast Show is quite popular here. It's a bit annoying to know people who find extremly amusing to say "black".

The woman who pretends to be from Manchester in Frasier was one of Benny Hill's angels I believe.
Excellent! I'm not a fan of the English. Therefore my answer changes to "none".
Edit: do movies count? Trainspotting is humerous to me, and is Scottish.
After watching some clips of the extras, i was thinking this is pretty good too 
love it when they make fun of themselves.

Monty Python but Blackadder Goes Forth holds its own against any Monty Python.

Doctor Who wins simply because it's Doctor Who, however I don't really consider it a comedy as such.
The Young Ones is utterly hilarious, as is Monty Python.
