TV Programmes You'd Recommend To A Friend

Ianucci's stuff seems to be underrated for the most part. I adored Time Trumpet - a sort of pop retrospective, but set in the future. My favourite scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj7Y76d578Q

Anyone remember Round the Twist?It was an Oz program mainly for kids but i knew a few adults who watched it too.Had a catchy theme tune too.Also,Pugwall,another chessy Oz program,still liked it though.

**eamo1** · 30/04/2009, 2:39 PM

One of my personal favourite retro programs of the 90s was Beverly Hills Bordello!

As a young man I always found it worth staying up until 1 am to watch it. I must pick it the blu-ray special addition with commentary. Much better than the overrated, arty Red shoes diary.

Bless Bravo.

Just finished this yesterday, another great show from HBO, a bit depressing at times but its a story about heroin addicts and drug dealers so it not the lightest subject. Really like the interview with the real peopel at the end.

Dexter season 2 up next missed the first episode of series 2 it on ITV and been dying to see it since

Second series was not half as good as the first.

Breaking Bad is my current top show.

First scene of series 1.

I missed the first season of Breaking Bad, so I'm not gonna watch this season until I've watched the first,of which the Dvd release keeps getting delayed and put off. Have heard great things about it though.(thanks for the edit with the clip)

30 Rock is a decent comedy. Weeds has a good reputation, but I've never seen it.

Only seen bits of Weeds.

30 Rock is very good.

**JerseyRed** · 29/05/2009, 11:54 PM

Testees on FX

**Boo_Boy** · 31/05/2009, 2:52 AM

Weeds is brilliant, new season starting next week, Burn Notice back next week too, plus a new show called Royal Pains which may be good(everything on USA Network is good).

**Mayo Red** · 03/06/2009, 8:16 AM

The Unit is very good, wasn't sure about it after watching the first couple of episodes of the first season but Im glued to it now, it's on tonight again on Virgin 1!

**Neish** · 24/07/2009, 8:39 AM

Finished 4th and final season of Battlestar Galactica las night quality show kinda sad there'll be no more

**Neish** · 27/07/2009, 12:25 AM

Got a loan of Sate of Play from a friend after him chatting about it for a few years, watched 3 episodes so far and really enjoying it. One of the best British drams series I've seen.

Series 7 of the sheild next not sure then after that. Thinking about True blood? Anyone here seen it?,any good? Its HBO so should be decent at least. Read somewhere(think it was on here actually) that TG4 were screening it somtime this year any truth in this?

true blood is very good. Into the 2nd series now.

I found the first series a bit crap to be honest but i stuck with it and glad i did, it was just developing the characters that made it drag a bit.

I would recommend it Neish.

Best British drama series ever - "Our Friends in the North". Superb stuff. Second only to "The Wire" as my favourite drama series ever. Also Alan Bleasdales "GBH" was quality.
