7.....The Dukes of Hazzard
6.....Ever Decrising Circles
5.....The A Team
4.....Emmerdale
3.....Blackadder
2.....Merlin
1.....Only Fools and horses

There's a few more but these are mostly my go too shows
 
Good question, my 10 would probably change on a daily basis but here goes I do particularly love comedies though;

1 - Extras
2 - The Repair Shop
3 - Tenable
4 - The League Of Gentlemen
5 - Blackadder
6 - Bottom
7 - Dear Ladies
8 - Band Of Brothers
9 - Dinnerladies
10 - Escape To The Country
 
Here is my list solely of British (and an Irish Show). I am limited to what PBS stations play or have played in Maryland.

1. Fawlty Towers
2. As Time Goes By (my wife and I are very much like a younger Jean and Lionel)
3. Hold the Sunset
4. Ballykissangel (mostly with the 1st two priests and a little less with the Australian one )
5. Doc Martin (another show with an awe-inspiring setting)
6. Young Ones
7. The Detectorists (1st season -extraordinary, 2nd Season - Very, very good, 3rd season- just alright)
8. Father Brown (with Mallory and McCarthy, not as much after they left) - I just love the Mallory character!
9. Waiting for God

10. A compilation of dramas (or 4 way tie) - Indian Doctor, Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise (before it got sappy with Neville liking Florence), and Sister Boniface Mysteries (I know, it is thought of as a cheap knock-off of Father Brown, but it is really growing on me.

My wife and I watch more British television than American. For me, it is the comedies. For her, it is the Dramas and Crime Dramas.

Side Note- regarding Clarke's shows.

Summer Wine over Fawlty Towers.
Still Open All Hours (the 1st half of the show's duration) in between As Time Goes By and Hold the Sunset
KUA - In between the Detectorists and Father Brown
OAH - slightly below Waiting for God

Some very good and interesting choices there.

Did you ever see 'Dad' with George Cole, which began in 1997?

Beautifully observed sitcom.

I heard good things about Corner Gas. I might have to check it out.

I went to a small private college in Cincinnati in the 90s. It was quite festive during basketball season with the Hoosier / Bearcat / Wildcat fans!

When I watched The Prisoner back in the '60's it gave me the hebbie jeebies, but I still watched it. I still get the hebbie jebbies when I even think about it.
