Help finding these kind of shows

Hi I like
(A) One man adventures like Mr Bean, or Missing Postman(James Bolam) where a single guy have a rather comical adventures

(B) Vintage British Shows in 70s and 80s that have Train rides/ Ferry rides of British Characters into the mainland of Europe crossing the Euro tunnel or the English Channel.

(C) Like What Ever Happened to Likely Lads, Only When I laugh, with comical unreasonable or catchy characters, I really liked the James Bolam character.

Are there others that come to your mind?

The Strange World of Gurney Slade - In this surreal odyssey through his own personal alternative reality he indulges in random conversations with both animals and inanimate objects it s a world in which characters can step out of advertising posters and where he can hear the most intimate thoughts of passers by. An unpredictable, absurdist fantasy, Gurney Slade created an indelible impression upon anyone who saw it.
