This isn't a show, but I caught the movie 'Kinky Boots' on BBC America yesterday & I really loved it.

Top Gear!
...This doesn't really count as a 'show' I guess, but Jonathan Ross. He's horrible, but I love him.

Chiwetel Ejiofor would make a great Dr. F in Rocky Horror.


AND Holy crap. Kinky Boots is coming to Broadway?

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!

How many posts so far and no mention of possibly the most groundbreaking comedy in British television history, for shame!

Doctor Who, Graham Norton, and Top Gear. I swear, Graham Norton and Top Gear are funnier than anything on American TV. Graham regularly makes me sob with laughter.

State of Play
Blackadder
Life on Mars
A Bit of Fry and Laurie
The Sarah Jane Adventures
Clocking Off
Blackpool

And for a one-off, the Damian Lewis/Sarah Parrish Much Ado About Nothing was utterly delightful.

Of course, my all-time favorite is Monty Python's Flying Circus.

I'm not even gonna lie...I LOVE Being Human.

Doctor Who is definately my favorite, followed by The Vicar of Dibley, and Jonathan Ross.

I haven't seen Kinky Boots, but I feel like I need to now.

Oh yes, and I LOVED the Much Ado About Nothing with Sarah Parish and Damian Lewis.

I really liked Coupling as well.

Recent ones... While i have some issues, Dr Who and Torchwood. Love Skins even if part of me thinks I shouldn't, loved the original Russell Davies Queer as Folk (not the remake thank you very much) Umm a TON of miniseries and lit adaptations (everything from Pride and Prejudice to the great Line of Beauty) but does that count?
