No, apparently he hates it
From the Word interview this year:

AH: Many of the recent big hits on American television have been British imports, like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, The Weakest Link and Pop Idol.
M: Quite so, and they're to the detriment of American society. Even the BBC America channel is positively vile. It shows Changing Rooms back to back for nine hours.
AH: It's not that bad, surely. They show the news, and Father Ted.
M: Father Ted? (Pained expression). Ugh. You see, I don't find humour funny. That's my problem. What I find funny is things like Alan Bennett, or Jo Brand, or Victoria Wood. In the early 80s she completely changed the face of television comedy, not just for women by for men too. I admire her for that. She was revolutionary.
