It's difficult to choose only one as there have been so many different and yet excellent sitcoms - however, for its superb writing and quintessential 'Britishness' I would nominate Dad's Army which has been around for over 40 years and still makes me laugh.

I find it difficult to choose between "George & Mildred", "Fawlty Towers" and "Keeping up appearances".
I also enjoyed watching "Absolutely Fabulous", "Some mother do 'ave 'em" and (some episodes of) "Mr. Bean". :)

I haven't seen many of those listed by Jorge Gouveia. My absolute best, I think, is Dad's Army; other favourites include Porridge, Yes Minister, early Blackadder, Cold Feet.

I must put in a vote for Porridge as it hasn't been mentioned yet but my own particular favourite was Steptoe & Son. Just the right mix of comedy and pathos and some brilliant acting from the two leads.

JORGE GOUVEIA says:
I have seen and own the entire set of PORRIDGE , on dvd , and must admit that I had omitted it , not because it was not worth the mention but I forgot .How ? I thoroughly enjoyed the film as well . I have not seen any " Steptoe & Son "

Hancocks Half Hour is brilliant and Chelmsford 123 (though haven't seen it for years so might just be nostalgia!)

You have got to watch it! There is absolutley nothing else like it! Brilliantly funny and Michael Crawford did all his own stunts. I hope you get a chance to see it.

Mr. R. P. Savage says:
I love Goodnight Sweetheart so i'd say that is my favorite (not necessarily the best, just my fave.) Also so 'Till Death us do Part, In sickness and in Health, Only Fools and Bottom.

Mr. M. S. Bonfield says:
Some mother's do " ave 'em " is all about slap-stick comedy
and its some of the best slap-stick comedy you will ever see in your life! and michael crawford as frank spencer is one of the most hilarious comedy characters you will ever see 100% recommended

God there's so many to choose from, british sitcoms are the best in the world without a doubt.
I have nearly all the comedies mentioned on box set dvd and I'd have to say that right now my favourite has got to be man about the house closely followed by george and mildred ( absolute take you back comedy genius)
