So literally the most well known UK sitcom of the late 1980s?

Where I'm at (US), it's not well known.

I'm also in the US and it used to be on PBS for years. It also aired in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Again, it was incredibly popular. Check the Wikipedia page.

Maybe he’s talking about the US remake?

Where I'm at (US), it is.

Pretty sure outside of scifi circles it's niche. I can think of maybe two people I know that may possibly have heard of it.

At least in the US. It must have been more popular across the ocean

Smeg! In that case

I've never watched an episode and know it.

It's not obscure to anyone over 40.
