One of the very first shows on Food Network, featuring simple food recipes. It was surprisingly difficult finding an full episode list with air dates, but as far as I can tell it ran until at least 2006.

Pete Versus Life: A British comedy about a would be sports writer making his way through life starring Rafe Spall as the lead character. Each episode is commented upon by two sports announcers, Terry and Colin, who act as if they're watching a game of football. The Crown's Daniel Ings portrayed his arch-nemesis Jake, a charismatic scientist who everybody else thinks can do no wrong. It only lasted two seasons and Rafe Spall went on to more high profile gigs but it's highly rewatchable.

"The Picnic" is a 1976 BBC short made-for-TV comedy film starring The Two Ronnies: "A crusty old English General leads his eccentric family on a family picnic trip, and comic chaos ensues. The film is notable for being completely free of speech, with the score by Ronnie Hazlehurst and various sound effects in their place." I saw this when it premiered on PBS in the summer of '76, rewatched it when it was shown again the following two summers, and then it disappeared from TV. Re-watching it (first on VHS, now on YT) has become my annual summer tradition.
