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

I loved some of the older stuff produced by Hat Trick productions - things like Drop the Dead Donkey, KYTV, Chelmsford 123.

Waking the dead is quite good. The whole series of Prime Suspects was utterly brilliant. Bread was another good sit-com.

I'll also echo the other scribblers' suggestions too - especially The Second coming, Wire in the Blood, Blackadder, Father Ted etc, and I didn't know the Red Dwarf telemovie was going to be out so soon *ggg*

Thanks for these recs. Bread sounds vaguely familiar too.

I'll definitely check out the Hat Trick productions!
