I've gotten into a few British television shows. Obviously, I am really into Doctor Who, but I got into two other shows that I think are awesome and it just so happens both of them were written by Steven Moffat.

The first one was Jekyll. This show was amazing. James Nesbitt was outstanding in the title role. I loved the differences in his appearance when he changed and the rest of the cast was very good too. I do have a question. Was that show only meant to be six episodes long? I gotta say, there were twists and turns in this that I did not expect and just loved. Awesome show and people should check this out. I mean, with only six episodes, it's short enough to check it out.

I liked Gina Bellman so much in her role as Claire Jackman, that I started watching Coupling and I gotta say, I really enjoy that show as well. Fairly funny situations and pretty crude in a lot of the jokes. I like the cast and was wondering if anyone else thinks that Sarah Alexander looks a bit like Billie Piper? Anyway, I'm almost done with the second season of Coupling and it's really very cool.

The next show I am going to check out is Spaced with Simon Pegg and I might also check out Primeval, but I wanted to start this thread as a way to get people's opinion on British television and maybe make some suggestions on some good television. Looking forward to seeing what people will suggest.

To be the pedantic brit in the room spaced in the uk is a channel four show and primeval is a itv show

british shows I recommend if they ever get shown over the pond are

psychoville (dark humour at its darkest)

Gareth marenghis dark place (its hard to describe so heres a bit from it)

See? That's good to know. I only knew about the different BBC channels and did not know about ITV. Also, there is Sky1 as well, right?

Shut your dirty mouth. Sarah Alexander is so much prettier than that horse-toothed-can't-leave-a-show-with-dignity bint. :x And a much better actress, IMO.

That being said, Coupling is one of my favorite Brit-Coms. I also like Father Ted, Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Top Gear, My Family, and Black Books (Starring the guy that played Dafydd in Shaun of the Dead.).

this is gonna be boring but its worth mentioning

when tv started in the uk (1937 it was suspended due to ww2 and restarted after the war) there was only the bbc

1962 bbc 2 began

1968 itv began unlike the bbc at the time it was split into different regions depending on where you lived for example I have STV

1982 channel 4 begins

1990 sky begins (sky is a satellite service which when started only had sky 1 sky sports and a few minor channels but in recent years has built up into about 500 channels)

1997: channel five begins this turned out to be the last analogue channel after that analogue slowly began to die out as everyone began to go digital

Damn Europeans. They're not afraid to have gay channels available. Sad


And by 'gay', I mean, unlike Logo, which is just what Les Moonves thinks are the things gays want to watch.

Wow, that's a lot of channels.

Also, I just asked if those two look a bit alike. I far prefer Sarah Alexander. I wonder how she would have done as Rose Tyler.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I FUCKING LOVE DARKPLACE@!#!!
:x Laughing And I only saw the six episodes Sci-Fi channel aired. I would so buy the whole series like a rabid dog. I love that cheesfest so mcuh. I love you I love you I love you

I managed to see season one, and two I think, of Primeval. I liked season one better, but I'm waiting for more. It was pretty cool.

I haven't seen Spaced yet, but I'll buy the whole series on DVD as soon as I get $. I have no doubt about the quality.

Both series of Spaced are up on Hulu if anyone wants to see it first before spending the cash. It's a great show, I definitely recommend it. Spaced

My other favorites.. AbFab, Coupling, Let Them Eat Cake (French and Saunders plus the eighteenth century equals love), Graham Norton's chat shows, Mighty Boosh.. probably more I'm forgetting.

I think my favorite might have to be Peep Show. I can't describe how much I adore this program. All four series are up on YouTube. I can't summarize this show properly so I'll let Wiki do it for me.

"Peep Show follows the often sexually-frustrated lives of two men in their early thirties, Mark (Mitchell) and Jeremy (Webb). Having met while at the fictional Dartmouth University together, (they occasionally refer to themselves as 'The El Dude Brothers' in reference to their student days) they now share a flat in Apollo House, London Road in Croydon, south London.

Mark is a loan manager and the more financially successful of the two, but is extremely uncomfortable socially and pessimistic about nearly everything. Jeremy, who at the start of the first series has recently split up with his girlfriend 'Big Suze', now rents Mark's spare room. He usually has a much more optimistic and energetic outlook on the world than Mark, yet his self-proclaimed talent as a musician is yet to be recognised, and he is not as popular or attractive as he would like to think himself."

Here's the link to part 1 of episode 1. If you have the time give this show a chance.

The only British shows I've ever watched with any kind of regularity are Monty Python's Flying Circus, Are You Being Served?, Keeping Up Appearances, and Spaced. All are gold.

Eh. It's not for everyone. My boyfriend loves Doctor Who, but hates Torchwood, which seems completely foreign to me, since they're being written by the same people.

Keeping Up Appearances was great. That lady reminds me of my mom.

I really love the David Tennent Doctor Who seasons, but besides that i'm not too into brit shows. I'm never gonna really enjoy Brit Office as much as American Office but can you reconmend some good brit shows for me? i like comedy, mystery, sci-fi, horror and action shows.

I just watched a random episode of "Robin Hood". Wow. I need to go back and start from the beginning. It's so freaking awesome.

I love British tv...obviously Laughing The show I really wanted to watch was Being Human, but I missed it when it was the BBC America. I tired getting into HEX but they changed times and days on me so I was always missing it.
