Recommend me some TV shows.

[KardioKate]

I've got a fairly long train / ferry / train journey coming up, so looking to buy stuff to watch on my phone on the way over.

I'm a bit stuck with what I'd like to watch. Looking for something that I've not seen before ideally.

The stuff I like ranges from Fawlty Towers, Yes (Prime) Minister, The Good Life, Peep Show, Face/FoneJacker, Outnumbered, How Not To Live Your Life, Fresh Meat, PramFace, Mock the Week, HIGNFY, Would I Lie To You etc...

English stuff (as opposed to american sitcoms) is ideal, and I guess the genre would probably be comedy.

Cheers!

Have you seen Black Books?

The IT Crowd has some excellent episodes too - I reckon the Works Outing is a candidate for funniest 30 minutes of TV ever.

Seen both, although ages ago, definitely will be worth buying. Good call

I didn't get on at all well with it, I'm afraid.

15 storeys high. It deserved much greater recognition.

I know it's not British, but "The Big Bang Theory" is well worth watching.

[EDLT]

Mongrels, and Archer (even if it is American).

[RizzoTheRat]

Black books
Spaced
Blackadder
Mongrels

No Heroics wasn't bad but dropped after only 1 series.

Absolutely love that, especially the police station fax bit. Classic!

How about 'The West Wing'? Absolutely superb, and after Firefly, the best series on TV.

You missed the opening post?

Opening posts are for losers, clearly. I know The West Wing is American, but it is hardly a sitcom in the vein of 2 and half fkwits, or Everyone loves Raymond, and so on. it really is the best drama on TV by a long way. Dammit, I'm recommending it anyway.

Give "Phoneshop" a look

[Bungleaio]

Early doors is fantastic.

30 Rock is brilliant.
