Do you remember this series?

What was the name of the British stop-motion/claymation series that was on Comedy Central about ten years ago, featuring vulgar, working-class type characters?
I'm sorry to say I can't remember the title, but if it helps I'm pretty sure it was the name of either the street or the building where the characters lived. I remember everything about the show except what it was called, argh.

Definitely Crapston Villas, I'd say. I loved that show.

Not claymation, but done by the guys who did wallace and grommit so the character design was similair, Bob and Margaret might fit the bill. He was a dentist and i think she was a housewife. they had annoying neighbors, an annoying dog and at the end of one episode they were in greece on a nude beach. Animated boobs abound.
The only claymation i remember on there was mike and... crud i don't remember the name and i can't look it up but it was produced by one of the mad tv guys and had harlen williams as the lead. Two guys go cross country to run away from ex-girlfriends, i think.

[Margaret is a chiropodist and the Fishes definitely do not fit the bill here]

I didn't think it was the show, i just remembered it was claymation and i think fax bar produced it. I said crud though, what the hell is wrong with me?

Response by poster: yes, Crapston Villas! Many thanks. I googled every combination of descriptive words I could think of but no luck. Hey this Ask Mefi thing is cool.
