British TV-Shows
on: November 28, 2014, 04:20:54 PM
I for one am tremendously fond of British TV-Shows, from Top-Gear to IT-Crowd, from the Fixer to Sherlock Holmes (all installments). I think having fewer but longer episodes allows for a better story, but especially I like their dryer more cynical humor.

So, what are your favorite British TV-Shows and Movies?
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

My current favorite:

You might have guessed it, its:
DEATH IN PARADISE

Stiff British cop (that's probably a pleonasm right here :rofl:), is sent to the Caribbean, where he has to solve murders. Not only is it always sunny (or stormy) in this tropical paradise, it also used to be a French colony and has a French population :ahhh.
Apart from a stunning scenery, lovable characters it also has a great sound-track...

I agree. I'd rather watch "Britcoms" than American sitcoms. It's a more "cerebral' brand of humor. :cheers:

I dont's see any TV now, only documentaries from BBC and other channels (Discovery, History Channel, National Geographic). I might make a thread on these.
In the past however, as a pupil and a student, I was a fan of British TV. Here are some shows I enjoyed and remember to this day.

Mrs. Powernoodle and I watch the British crime dramas on Neflix:  George Gently, Sherlock, Vera, Foyle's War, Luther . . .  .  They all blow moronic, ignorant American network tv out of the water.

Since my wife spent many years in the UK we have a tendency to watch some UK TV from time to time as well. These days it's mostly been stuff like:

Mr Selfridge
Downton Abbey
Grand Designs
QI
Have I Got News For You
The Graham Norton Show
The Apprentice (UK)
Broadchurch
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

My favourite atm: Sherlock!

Feels more like single movies than a series, but I like the overall character development.  :tu:
Absolutely no comparisson to the american Sherlock holmes productions, is it?  :whistle:

I also enjoy Monthy Phyton in any form - And movies like Shaun, Hot Fuzz, 4 Lions etc seem to be a worthy successor :D

I really dig stuff about the 22nd Regiment, especially the Eddie Stone/John MacAleese1 docus and Ultimate Force2.
Also Bad Lads Army3, a concept that would have turned to smurfsmurf in any other country but came out great in Britain.  :D
