I suppose when you think about it most sitcoms while they do have other locations must be set 90% in a main base more often than not the family home/workplace
Are You Begin Served? rarely left the department and even when they did it was usually just to another part of the store .
On The Buses was mostly either in the Bus Depot or in the Butler household very rare it wasn't one of those 2 locations

This is very true - even dramas like Upstairs, Downstairs had many episodes which never left the confines of the house in which they were set. However, some shows occasionally take it further and confine episodes to one room or small set.
Only When I Laugh (sitcom based in a Hospital) rarely left the ward and a lot of eps just had the 3 men in bed talking they may have gone to the table sometimes
There was also a Bottom set in a tent, into which a flasher kept exposing himself (leading to an unfortunate moment as Eddie and Richie quickly attempted to zip the door up). I believe this was also the episode in which they were petrified that they would be attacked by Wombles because they were camping on Wimbledon Common.
Eddie: Where's my sleeping bag??
Richie: Well the last I heard she was in Chiswick!!!
Most episodes of Nightingales the C4 sitcom about security guards starring Robert Lindsay, David Threlfall and James Ellis were set in one room

I've only seen one episode of the Jo Brand sitcom, Getting On, but I'm sure it was confined to the one hospital ward.
In one of the On The Buses episodes apart from about 30 seconds at the end it's set entirely on the bus (even those 30 seconds they are stood just outside of the bus)
I seem to remember a Rab C. Nesbitt episode set in a police cell which was a monologue by Fisher. Timothy Spall was the reluctant cellmate who ended up hanging himself while Rab ranted on - very impressive acting without a single line.

One Foot in The Grave - in a car on a motorway.
Did 'My Family' have one all in a tube train as a Christmas special?
I know it's cheating a bit but this link has a superb list:-

What I came here to say. So underrated, that series!
Most episodes set entirely in the pub. But there was one episode where the whole episode was set in the hospital (and was one of my favourites!)
Cant beleive Sky 3+1 arent showing repeats of it!

Mainly, but i remember Rigsby taking Miss Jones to a restaurant once.

I have not watched that in about 16 years but wasn't that even part of the plot that one of them was agoraphobic so never left the flat
He did on a couple of occasion though
He was briefly in a band.
Technically, no since some episodes featured the staff visiting locations away from the camp,
Which gave us that hilarious plant in toilet scene!
