The BBC have started a vote on this. It's a tough one and no doubt a lot of people will be voting for the well known stuff such as the Parrot Sketch.
I always liked their more obscure ones such as the All England Summarise Proust Competition and the one where a football style commentator was covering Thomas Hardy writing his latest novel.

Both were on the telly. On the other hand, I don't remember seeing the Thomas Hardy sketch, although I've heard it on tape

Some favorites of mine are:
Bicycle Repair Man - a world of 'supermen' and this funny little bloke is the only one that can fix a bike. The cartoon of the old lady waiting at the bus stop before tripping one of them up. The block of flats built by hypnosis that'll fall down if the people living there stop believing in them. The footballer interviewed by an 'artsy' Eric Idle. The Fercotti Brothers seeking protection money from the army. The entire episode of Reg Pither (I think his name was) going on a cycling tour of the West Country. |

they were extremely prolific for sure. The cheese shop was another favourite of mine along with the Travel Agents. The latter is dated now but at the time it was spot on re Med package holidays
 Here's that Thomas Hardy sketch with a Barry Davies style commentator. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogPZ5CY9KoM |

On the other hand, they were responsible for some truly dire stuff. Angus Podgorny playing a blancmange at Wimbledon was utter sh1te and it lasted for most of the episode.

Mr Arthur Frampton, the man with three buttocks
Britain's top goalies' love affair with the Yangtse Kiang ("teeming with carp and perch and trout and ... breeeam") International philosophy, Germany vs Greece, with Nietzsche getting booked after telling the ref he's got no free will Communist Quiz ("The contestant is Karl Marx and the prize this week is a beautiful lounge suite.") And ... another vote for the Bank Holiday Dorset crowd cheering on local boy Thomas Hardy as begins The Return Of The Native on this very pleasant July morning |

that was sublime, probably my overall favourite, although the upper class twit of the year would run it close |

Best to just try them out and see what suits your needs. |
