Rab Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have access to the usual suspects for UK TV programmes, but its hard to know what's good. I like to have a UK series on the go even tho the majority of what I watch are US boxsets these days. So, JKB, enlighten me, what's been good on the box recently over there? Dramas or comedies preferred, not interested in soaps or reality shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambos_1874 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 There's not been any UK TV series of note on recently. You should just delve into some of the classic DVD box sets - I recommend starting with Blackadder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 How recently? A lot more recently than Blackadder, put it that way! The last 12 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester™ Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 A lot more recently than Blackadder, put it that way! The last 12 months? I fairly enjoyed Line of Duty, Good Cop, Luther, Sherlock. Have you seen the last series of The Thick of It yet? I've probably forgot others, though I've watched more of the Scandinavian series recently. You'll be lucky to get any good UK Comedies at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Line of Duty was particularly good. New series of Luther starts next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 To be honest, I rarely bring myself to watch TV because I literally never find anything to watch. Only thing I watch regularly is sports. Other than that, if I ever do bother watching something, it's a programme that I've seen a good few times before. My girlfriend likes all the reality stuff, mainly including emergency services and the likes. Doesn't interest me at all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T.F.Robertson Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I've said this before, but if you haven't seen it, "I Clavdivs" was/is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboman1512 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 The Fall is meant to be quite good, meant to catch some of it but always forgot. Got good reviews. This is really good imo, heard it has been picked up for a 2nd series too, gripped me right from the start, pretty dark and disturbing but i like that kind of thing , Good Cop was also pretty good, wish it ended better though.

smallfaces Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Early Doors,might be a problem getting a hold of it though. Seconded, a gem of a series. Worth repeated viewings for all the subtle looks and jokes. Sure I got it from Play.com for ?10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
