What good telly have I missed?

[Yellow Fang]

I haven't really watched much telly over the past few years. I watched Rome for the sex and violence, and I used to watch Dr Who until I got fed up with the outrageous liberties Russell T Davies was taking with it. I heard on the radio how good The Wire was, and since the bloke behind it used to make Homocide, I can believe it. I also resisted The Mighty Boosh for years, but I saw some clips on YouTube and lmao. What else is good?

Planet Earth.
Atom.
The various Adam Curtis documentaries.

Can't really think of much drama or stuff I thought was great.

 

[Melvil]

That wasn't bad.

(Not really on UK TV but as a TV Series)...The Wire...haven't seen any cop / crim drama even remotely as good or clever for a long long time.

From what I heard it was immensely popular, but actually rather shite. btw my last name is Varney. My brother is known by all as Reg at work, although I doubt many of his colleagues know why.

The Shield is worth a look.

 

[Chuffy]

I've heard that Strictly Come Dancing is good wholesome fare.

 

[TVC]

The Daily Show with John Stewart is the best satire on at the moment - More4 weeknights 8.30

One of my mates at uni was called Mahfooz...he was called Stanley when he was at school.

Life on mars was an absolute belter.

That's about it though, apart from MOTD.

 

[wafflycat]

Anything with St David of Attenborough in it is always worth watching as magnificent television.

Spooks
Mad Men
There was a brilliant French police drama, which I have forgotten the name of
