British TV show rec request

[liresius]

I'm calling out to all my friends who watch Brit TV. Can you rec me any shows you are currently enjoying or have recently enjoyed? I've watched a few over the course of time - like
Fawlty Towers, Hitchhiker's Guide, Red Dwarf, Gormenghast, Brideshead Revisited, QaF, Spooks, Coupling, The Office, Pride and Prejudice (and a couple of other historical dramas), LoM, Jekyll, The State Within, Torchwood and Dr. Who, and probably a lot of others I can't remember at the moment.

I'm up to date on Whitechapel, Merlin and I'm getting a hold of The Vicar of Dibley too. What's your take on the latter? I think that is one my Mum was watching but we don't always share the same taste so wondering if it's worth a shot ...

Is there anything else that's been taking your attention? *cookies* if you can let me have any suggestions

You've already had a lot of my favourites recommended... so I'll just add a few more:

Man in a Suitcase
Miss Marple (Joan Hickson is the best)
Bergerac
Dad's Army (comedy series)
Jonathan Creek
Queer as Folk (the original version - not the American remake.)
Danger UXB (Drama about bomb disposal squad)

Ooh, some of these I have no idea about! The first three and Jonathon Creek, I've never seen. *puts them on the list*

QaF, I have seen - the Br. version and I have also seen Danger UXB! I LOVED that show, It had Anthony Andrews, from Brideshead, in it. Wow, UXB was so long ago LOL! I saw it in about 1984-5.

Thank you so much for these! *hugs*

I've thought of a few others :)

Cadfael (Medeavel who-dunnit! (I love the books of which they are adaptations, too)).
Dempsey and Makepiece
Minder

Oh thanks! I don't know the first two. I did watch quite a bit of Minder in the 80's - Terry and Arthur, right? Weren't they a pair! *g*
