Good shout! Watched this series one weekend not long after Mr Nielsen passed away. One of the best comedy actors around. Shame only 6 episodes were made, but I remember reading that it was because the American audience didn't understand the humour.

Another, quite modern one, I haven't seen mentioned is Bad Education. Features Jack Whitehall. Quite hit and miss at times but when it hit it was absolutely genious.

Saw the first episode of Catastrophe last Monday - looks quite promising (starring and joint written by the very talented Sharon Horgan)

Second episode tonight, Channel 4, 10PM - the previous one will be on 4OD

Caught the second episode last night. Can't say I was overly impressed. Some sitcoms might have a dud episode or two so I'll give it another shot next week, but didn't find many parts even mildly amusing.
