Agree! The American version has become a well crafted sitcom; the original was a work of painful genius (as was Fawlty Towers). BTW no mention of League of Gentlemen?
how i met your mother is the best show on tv. i would recommend that to anyone familyguy, soccer am, the only way is essex.
i used to really like that show, but I slowly began to realise that I very rarely laughed when watching it, and hated most of the characters involved
to be honest, when i used to watch it i found it hilarious. in comparision i'm not enjoying it as much but still worth a watch
It's a throne-room drama Mad Men, Boosh, The Wire, Sherlock, Partridge, Pointless, Peep Show, Adam Curtis Documentaries & Curb Your Enthusiasm ...I've being meaning to check out Arrested Development
The Killing (liked the American version as well), Sherlock, Dr Who, Star Trek, most police series, Death in Paradise, antique programmes, and history documentaries.
I'm going back a few years, but I loved anything that was written by Alan Bleasdale and Dennis Potter. "Boys from the Blackstuff" and "The Singing Detective" being my favourites and were classics....Also loved "The Monocled Mutineer", "GBH" and "Lipstick on your collar".
Original Series Star Treks, in the 1960's, from when I used to rum home from The Dell, and miss the first 5 minutes, and Dad used to clue me in. Did like ST:Voyager and Enterprise too, from later times. 1960s-70s-80s Horizon programmes, when content was more important than gee-whizz SFX. The World About Us, was fantastic too, as was 1960-70s Tomorrow's World programmes. Loved Alan Whicker and Whicker's World, Michael Palin and Around The World In 80 Days. Great Railway Journeys of the World was also something I looked out for. Grandstand was often great, just before setting off for the game, as Scrambling [MotoX, to you] was often on. These days I hardly watch the TV at all. A bit of QI and a couple of other things, like TFLS but that's about it. Radio has now taken the place of quality TV because there are very few stations that do drama, comedy, and so they have a captive audience where they can explore the quality in stories, knowing that the audience will lap it up. They don't have to compete for the widest audience, and so don't produce bland drivel. Of course, we're talking primarily BBC Radio 4, 4 Extra, Radio 5 and occasionally Radio 3. Tbh, you could take the rest away. I've got better things to do with my time.
