Media companies spend untold millions on new content, and yet the acting and writing on a comparatively obscure and low budget British TV series still occupy a place in my psyche many decades later.
RIP Mr Keating.

Red Dwarf had a tiny budget initially, you just need good writers and actors
I can’t imagine Yes Minister’s budget was particular high either.
And it’s not just confined to the 70s and 80s. The IT crowd budget was pretty low, gave us some classic relatable episodes.
You don’t need a big budget. Even the “big budgets revival of Doctor Who with Edleston in 2005 paled in comparison to the budget of the most recent series, but the quality was so much better.
