I’ve seen a good many of the shows listed here.

I’d like to add a science show- IMHO second only to Carl Sagan’s Cosmos- James Burke’s Connections.

That was an awesome show! I only wish he had made more of them. I did pick up a book of his called Circles, which had a similar theme.

if we're going for science shows, then let's add "Don't Ask Me." The last that I'd hears Rob Buckman was at the University of Toronto.

To throw in a couple more favorite British comedies I haven't seen mentioned yet: "The Goodies" and "The Two Ronnies." I was a big fan of both, thanks to my local PBS station.

I really need to learn that ancient Lancastrian art of self defence, Ecky Thump.

It's like you're all my (sadly passed) mum. Shows I heard her talk about but never saw, and probably wouldn't watch. You know more about 60-year old British TV than I ever will!

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

We’ll take it as a compliment.

Chef, I remember. With Lenny Henry, right? I did enjoy that one.

The first two series were excellent. The third was pretty terrible.
