Greatest British Television Shows

Post by Coito ergo sum » Thu Jul 15, 2010 7:40 pm

My favorites are:

Of course, Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Rumpole of the Bailey
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin
Dr. Who from back in the day


EDIT: oh, and I forgot - Fawlty Towers! I loved that show...

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
