Ummm... oooh ... ahhh... I can't think of any! 
Another obvious one (other than the same writer!) is tight fisted shop owners in LOTSW & S/OAH
I think Compo & Onslow are similar characters, lovable but workshy!

All have the same writer!
In all the women are strong and most definitely in charge whilst it's down to the men to be mostly childlike.

Edie & Hyacinth are both from a working class background but put on heirs & graces, this aspect of Edie was downplayed after Keeping Up Appearances started.
Mrs Blewett & Nora Batty seem very similar characters, but I can't quite put my finger on why that is........

It has to be because their surnames both begin with B!

There is a motif of ladders being a source of comedy. In LOTSW, there is a lot of comedy around ladders being removed; like that one where Foggy fancies himself as first aid provider and takes a ladder that's being used by a roofer. In OAH, Arkwright goes up a ladder to woo Nurse Gladys.

The gathering of the ladies is both Summer Wine and SOAH
Mind you Onslow does summon energy reserves when Daisy gets amourous !!!! .....
To find something else to do!
