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*

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.

It's a great series and I don't think you have to watch Season 1 to 3 to follow anything. If you like British mysteries, I highly recommend it!
I also have the 11th Season of Silent Witness - so far only 4 eps have aired. I watch these on ABC when they do air too! I'm really a big fan of mysteries/crime stories so I can't help it.
If you don't mind Taggart, I have one ep!
I also have the Scold's Birdle (which I think I gave to yokiem some while back). Yes, it's also a British mystery - only 2 eps but good enough and intriguing.

I'm pretty sure you gave me some S4 WitB, because I loved the first season and hadn't realised it contnued. I haven't watched the eps you gave me yet, so I'll have to dig the disc out as soon as I burn the other series off the computer. Ive seen some Silent Witness. That was good, so I'd love the new ones next time we meet up. If your WitB is corrupted let me know and I can give it back to you. :)

A completely different sort of show is Spaced. It's not everyone's cup of tea, though.

Ha ha, I'm often found complaining how bad UK TV generally is! There are a couple of series/shows here in the UK that I tend not to miss, though:
# Waking the Dead (http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/wakingthedead/) (though I see this has already been recommended)
# Spooks/MI-5 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/spooks/)
# Hustle (http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/hustle/)
# Midsomer Murders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midsomer_Murders)
# Agatha Christie' Poirot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie's_Poirot).
I have to admit that I haven't seen 'Life on Mars' - though with all the rave reviews I keep seeing, I think I should!

I'm sure there's some crap UK TV too, but we mostly get a lot of American TV and sometimes it's nice for a change and I love that there are series tht are planned and only go for a set number of eps. They just hang together so much better like that!
Thanks! :)
