Good start...

I’d have to put Edge of Darkness and State of Play in any list of the best.

State of Play was very good. Haven’t seen Edge Of Darkness for years but recall it was excellent. 1980’s Joanne Whalley, what’s not to like!

The early series were great and do deserve a mention but it went from a comedy to soap opera. Del, Rodders and Grandpa were the best, Raquel, Cassandra and Damien just no.

Well I think it should be a top 10, as there are another 5 already mentioned that should also be on my list.

Any Attenborough’Life’ documentary.
Professionals
New Top Gear specials ( Clarkson Hammond May )

TBH I haven’t watched scheduled TV in years.

Ask me tomorrow and they all will be different except World at War.

Not bad, I would replace Thunderbirds with Terrahawks as I’ve just started watching them on Amazon Prime.

Love the Sergeant Major .
