This is going quite well - thanks to those who've contributed.thumbup
I've sorted the first lot into alphabetical order (OCD) but if any additions are added above this list please so we can see new ones as they arise. I'll pop in to re-sort them every once in a while, okay?

With so many channels available these days I find it difficult to keep up with what's new. I'd find it useful to have a list of 'worthwhile' telly to watch that I may have missed.
If anyone knows of either any new series coming up or decent series [cult status?] worth digging out please list them below. Maybe a separate wiki for UK series? Perhaps if enough interest we could make it a sticky?

Halb> Nice idea. Some added ideas? The main identifier being whether it's a serial drama as opposed to a procedural? For those type of shows that are stand alone episodes that usually run for 20 shows, as opposed to something like the Sopranos which has shorter runs has a large overriding arc which needs all episodes to understand fully?
LordGrover> Thanks Halb - I fear the more data that's added the more it can only be contained in a table. Tables and wikis don't mix - every single time you get some well-meaning technical incompetent fecks it up and it's a right biatch to sort out. If you or someone else wants to maintain it then great, but a simple list is all that I can handle (or need). I started linking to the IMDB pages so a lot of info is just a click away. Anyhoo - it's a public wiki, do as you feel fit.
