This is tough, there have been so many. In no particular order, and I'm sure many have already been cited... Quatermass & The Pit - starred Andre Morell Dixon of Dock green Z Cars Juke Box Jury Ready, Steady, Go. The Sweeney Minder TW3 Not Only...but Also Frost Report Elizabeth R. Six wives of Henry VIII Two Ronnies Monty Pythons' FC Hancock's Half Hour Jokers Wild Rumpole of the Bailey Blackadder Morecambe & Wise Show The Duchess of Duke Street The Telegoons Yes Minister Yes Prime Minister The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the D'Urbervilles & Therese Raquin (all great mini-series adaptations) Casanova (Denis Potter's version, frank Finlay's lead) Callan (British version - Woodward) Wicker's World Tomorrow's World (Burke) Ascent of Man (Bronowski) Cosmos (Sagan) Silent Witness Wire in the Blood Prime Suspect ....could go on... my top 3 ever... I Claudius Boys from the Black Stuff Cracker edit: I love Portillo's "Great British Railway Journeys"...plus his European series.
Yup, one of the all-time greatest shows, with Arfer Daley and 'er indoors two of the greatest characters in the history of English Literature (after Stan and Hilda, of course).
I was tailoring it to the likely audience given the current time over 'ome . Have to admit, the US version was decent compared to most of the **** they produce. Mind you, I quite liked "Mash".
Has anyone mentioned Prisoner cell block H? Top telly. Lizzie, B and Viniger tits? I wonder if I can get a box set?
My wife would agree - she loves watching all WW2 action series. Not mentioned in the thread 'Allo 'Allo, Brideshead Revisited and The Whitehall Farces starring Brian Rix who was a (near) Hull born lad and is still going today in his nineties. 'Allo 'Allo came to Sydney as a stage show but was a little bit of a disappointment.
It is but has somehow been dulled by all this PC malarkey it doesn't seem as hard hitting these days.
Can't beat Father Ted, we need a few 'down with this sort of thing' banners at the Kcom in weeks to come too
Some great series already listed - three that I'd add are Soap, Brass and Hot Metal. Also Drop the Dead Donkey (but I suspect it's been included somewhere).
