Is there a show you like from "across the pond"?

[Chokky]

I highly recommend the British series - Doc Martin.
It is excellent - a drama/comedy set in a seaside town near Cornwall.
The next season doesn't start until 2011 so you have lots of time to catch up on the first few seasons.

I love Doctor Who & Torchwood. I haven't seen Warehouse 13 or Being Human but they both look really good!

I've loved Fawlty Towers since I was young. John Cleese at his best. If you like Monty Python, you'll love it.

 

[HoneyPooh]

Little Britian,Fawlty Towers,Murphys Law, Robin Hood, Jekyll, Dr.Who,
Basicaly anything on BBC America.

I love British Movies my favorite is Jane Eyre with Cirian Hinds
all my favorite actors are either English,Scottish,Irish or Welsh.

With the addition of British mysteries and a few Australian actors this is me as well.

 

[letthewookiewin]

BBCA is one of my favorite channels. My favorite, without question is Coupling. IMHO the best sitcom ever made. I was so excited when they made an American version. I was able to watch only a few minutes. It was just so bad that I ended up yelling at the tv, and turning it off.

 

[LuvOrlando]

Love the BBC.

All things Shakespeare that BBC has ever done are mesmerizing, oh and I tend to love the stuff on the Monarchy.

For Comedy Graham Norton & Fawlty Towers (have them all)

Love Eddie Izzard

But recently I've been hooked on watching "Wire in the Blood" on Netflix instant. Two things I prefer about Brit TV are #1, the characters look like normal people which makes them infinitely more likable and #2, because the casting directors are ok with average good looks talent is more valued so everything is of greater quality. Too bad the selection is so small. I wish Hollyweird would close the door on the Megan Foxes of the world and embrace talent over looks.

Is Hustle anything like Leverage?

 

[luvavacation]

Being Human!

The storyline is interesting, and the guy that plays the vampire has a great accent and is so bad-boy hot!

 

[Nancyg56]

I like Last Restaurant Stnading.

 

[Dax]

I am a HUGE fan of anything that stars Gordon Ramsey..

F Word
Kitchen Nightmares

I also watched the British Apprentice when it was on..I enjoyed it MUCH more than the US version.

I have also watched a show, I cant remember the name, it stared 2 woman who went into homes and cleaned up after them...and they were nasty dirty homes!

Big fan of Are You Being Served as well...and the original Office. There is also a show called The IT Crowd I believe, its about a IT group..FUNNY stuff
