Going against the grain here instead of moaning I'm going to laud the programs I like
Heartbeat
OK, so its predictable and the acting can be a bit dodgy but its set in yorkshire and has a decent soundtrack. also the culture fascists hate it which in my mind is a positive thing..
All Creatures Great and Small
Sublime...
Alan Partridge
Cringely funny..
This is England 86
The original film was impressive and I had doubts when I heard that a 'follow up' TV version was being made. After the first one those doubts proved to be unfounded - brilliant acting. My only quibble was with the cast changes but that may have been out of the directors control. Only seen part 1 as yet hope the standard is maintained for part 2 and beyond..
The Young Ones
Back to the 80's and as funny now as it was then. So full of quotes. Absolutely brilliant. I remember watching this first time round (against my wifes wishes) and found it incredibly funny. It broke all of the rules of traditional sitcom and was truly groundbreaking. Why don't they make TV like this anymore?
Blackadder Series 2 - 4
Not a fan of series 1. Series 4 the best and the ending of the last program, paying respect to those who died in WW1, probably the best ending in TV history.
