Merlin--


~~Merlin can be viewed on netflix--first 3 seasons, and on youtube for the most recent episodes.

Thanks for this one. I saw it on Neflix, but wasn't sure if it was good or not.

I'll give it a chance.

Thanks!

Thanks for the list. I've seen most of the older comedies - Fawlty Towers, Spaced, Keeping Up Appearances, Are You BEing Served, As Time Goes By, Flying Circus, Benny Hill, but there were some new ones on that list. I liked the Vicar of Dibley - not the best, for sure, but entertaining.

I LOVE Sherlock, and I'll definitely check out Life on Mars and Cracker.

TY.

Wow. SO many suggestions.

Awesome! Thanks!

Its better than the "reality" TV here in the states.

CAN'T STAND IT!

Ugh. If I wanted to watch rich people's every living moment, I'd spend time in hollywood. Rich get richer. I don't get it. Oy.

I saw Downton Abbey on Netflix, I just wan't sure what to think of it. It looked really stuffy. Is it?

I've seen Merlin. Pretty good.

Thanks!

DOWNTOWN Abbey!

I've got both on DVD, classics!

A personal favorite from the 70s now available on Netflix is Raffles. Black Books has some of the finest moments of absurdity I've seen.

Ooops! My bad!

A bit from Mitchell and Webb

You're welcome. You won't regret it. It's not common for a TV show to bring me to tears.

Let me know what you think ;)

I don't know if you can get hold of it but the first two series of Torchwood are great. The 2nd two are good, but I preferred the first two. It's scifi & set in Wales.

15 Storeys High - a hugely under-rated masterpiece!

hey doomish

the best uk comedy ever (closely followed by the office) is "only fools and horses"...a classic...

Misfits for sure! Best programme I've seen in ages!

Also not so much a british prog (australian i think) The Spartacus series AMAZING!

xx em xx

A pretty much unknown (but with a cult following) from 2004, it takes the piss out of 80's shows :) you'll have to excuse the adverts, but they are the full episodes.

How could anyone not mention

Dad's Army
