Although not as good as Only Fools, I’d also throw in ‘Ello ‘Ello.
The show, set in occupied WW2 France, represents different languages by using English in different accents.
A character to particularly look out for is the British secret agent disguised as a French gendarmes. He is able to “blend in” because he “spokes prefect Fronch”.
It’s a great illustration of how much you can mangle English and still be understood ...and is also quite funny.
