Tell me please... :)

Okay, so in the last week I finished watching "Life on Mars" and "Jekyll" and they've reminded me how cool UK TV is. I mean they have these awesome series that are maybe 4-10 eps long and have actual story arcs with real endings and they are simply made of awesome. Add in actors like John Simm and James Nesbett and not having to listen to American accents all the time and I'm in TV heaven.

So, I was wondering if anyone had some other awesome shows shows to recommend to me that may have passed me by?

Other stuff that I have loved include: "Armidillo" when it was on the TV and I need to buy me more "Wire in the Blood" because I didn't realise there were more seasons of it.

Anyway, feel free to recommend some stuff. Pleeeease! *huge grin*

I was about to say "Wire in the blood" ;-)

Um, Monarch of the Glen, Waking the Dead.

What's "Waking the Dead" since I have 2 comments on that one? :)

The original cold case show. No one does crime like the Brits do. 2 hours for each episode, and you're guaranteed to have no idea who's done it. The characters are interesting, and the plots are wonderful, and not glossed over like the American shows do.

Season 1 is available out here. Channel 9 played the first two seasons, I think, over last summer, so they might play the next this summer. Started back in about 2001, I think.

Cool! I'll have a look for it. :)
