UK tv shows

EastTexas · 06-05-2006, 12:48 PM

I'm looking for new stuff to watch on my lunch breaks.
Any UK shows that are worth watching? (Already seen The Office, Coupling and Peep Show{Peep Show rules!}.)
I heard Green Room is good, but I'm not really into medical shows. Is it a comedy or drama?

Thx

I think you mean Green Wing, which is a hospital comedy - very funny, very weird, very British sense of humour, worth watching.

Peep show is so-so. maybe i needed to watch it with the subtitles on

Definitely check out Green Wing

Little Britian is nice. I like Men Behaving Badly, but I'm Cheesy.

Supposed to start the Monarch of the Glen DVD this week and The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse.

How about Bromwell High. I worked on it and it's really funny

Green wing was meant to be a sketch show, but they decided to give it more 'direction'. i think.

i love peep show..

... i suppose the obvious show would be monty python.

You might try some "trailer park boys", I thought it was amusing, its Canadian

I haven't seen it personally but The Mighty Boosh is suppose to be funny.

Nighty Night is worth checking out as well.

My UK Shows:
• Top Gear
• Big Brother (catch the new season while its still relatively fresh)
• Dr. Who (seasons 7 or 8)
• Spooks (aka Mi5)
• Dead Ringers
• The IT Crowd (available free for public download - legally)
• Green Wing
• Murphy's Law

And if you're into soaps, which I am not:
• EastEnders
• Emmerdale
• Hollyoaks
• Coronation Street
• Footballers' Wives

Classic Brit-com from the 80s/90s:
• BlackAdder (including BlackAdder Goes Forth)
• Keeping Up Appearances
• The Vicar of Dibley
• Chef
• As Time Goes By
• Mr. Bean
• Fawlty Towers (70s?)
• Absolutely Fabulous

And I wish there was a way to Torrent the Channel 4 news. BBC is good too - I fucking hate the American news outlets.
