I'm not sure to what degree this qualifies as "lesser known". It is certainly an older show, but still super funny. It's called "Are You Being Served" and lampoons all sorts of British stereotypes in a department store post-WWII. It's got few sets ,a small cast, but is witty and well-written. The jokes hold up very well and the actors are great. It sometimes pops up on PBS, otherwise, you'll have to find a DVD or alternate means.
...a cast that includes John Cleese! I suspect "lesser known" varies depending on how millenial you are. I'm GenX and AYBS was one of those shows that PBS could run all day every day so it was hard to miss between midnight and 2am most nights... or exactly when you were coming home from the kegger.
