Brit TV show recommendations

[DanaC]

Excellent sketch show: Smack the Pony ( from some of the same team as Green Wing).

Nathan Barley: a short run comedy about the the rise of the idiots - by Charlie Brooker.

No heroics: only did a single series of 6 eps. No idea why...awesome show.

Misfits: brilliant, several series available


Also: please, please tell me you've seen Garth Merengi's Dark Place....

This is from the dvd extras



The Fades: was excellent, but was;t picked up for a second series. Inexplicable except on the grounds of budget constraints in the wake of BBC cutbacks

Ripper Street: co-production between BBC and BBC America - police procedural and mystery but joyfully anchored in a lawless , almost wild west style, Victorian London.




Mighty Boosh - you'll either love it or hate it.
