Any other good British shows?

jeffy777 · December 28th, 2005, 10:09 PM

So I got a UKnova account (out of luck) thinking that I could grab (and seed) some other good British shows. Now I'm wondering what I should get since I'm not that familiar with anything besides Top/Fifth Gear. Any suggestions on what could be good?

Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers, Black Adder, The Office... images/smilies/smile.gif

Forget about Fawlty Towers, The Office... They're all on DVD so will never be on uknova.

Dragons' Den is pretty good.

The American one sucks.

What is Little Britain? I heard them mention it on the last episode I watched.

Also.... how does Brainiac compare to Mythbusters (which RULES)?

Brainiac is centered around explosions, so it's not as "scientific" perhaps, but enjoyable, nonetheless. I'm actually getting season 3 as we speak images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I like the Office(USA)

I agree - Ricky Gervais is funny.

BTW: you can also download Brit comedy from digitaldistractions.

Hey, if you want series 1 and 2 let me know, I have them. I also have Brainiac History Abuse.

Keep the suggestions coming, i'm going to be looking to download a bunch of television soon, since i'll be travelling a lot.

If it is funny then it is worth it. Watching things get blown up is never boring. images/smilies/smile.gif

I downloaded an ep of "The Gadget Show"; seems pretty decent if you like that sort of stuff (mp3 players, cell phones, etc. and everyone does these days).

d_one · December 29th, 2005, 10:33 AM

Its best to check out some UK TV channels.

BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Five, Sky One, UKTV, Bravo, Men & Motors, MTV UK.

chaos386 · December 29th, 2005, 12:26 PM

"Should I Worry About..." It's hosted by Hammond, and although I've only seen one episode, it seems like an interesting show. images/smilies/smile.gif

You guys forgot Pimp My Ride (UK Style)... images/smilies/lol.gif

Olds442 · December 29th, 2005, 6:33 PM

"Spaced" was great.

Catbunny · December 31st, 2005, 5:02 AM

I determined tonight that, while cute, Brainiac is nowhere near as good as Mythbusters.

ESPNSTI · December 31st, 2005, 5:08 AM

Brainiac is slightly repetitive repetitive. Oh and did I mention repetitive? images/smilies/tongue.gif
