abwsco Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 We're fed up with most of the normal TV and do not have Sky so have been buying box sets when they've been cheap. So far we've watched The Sopranos, The Wire and are currently on Six Feet Under. Would love some ideas please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick wiggle Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I know this is very, very old but we got it off ebay and loved it.... Tenko? You know that really old series about the women in a japenese prisoner of war camp, its classic and brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Lost is brilliant. I've stuck by it right from the start, tough going at times but I'd highly recommend it. Like Cinnamon, I'd suggest Skins too, we love that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'd recommend Houseand Desperate Housewives but we also own Star Trek The next Generation, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica and a zillion films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 We've enjoyed watching Pride and Prejudice (BBC version only- wouldn't touch the film with a barge pole) Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes (as already mentioned) and also a great series from the early 1990's GBH (Alan Bleasdale) starring Robert Lindsay, Julie Walters et al But mostly we prefer comedy so we also love Coupling, Jam and Jerusalem, Green Wing and Black Books...and I'm ashamed to admit...I do watch the Golden Girls when I'm doing my ironing I'll get my coat!

bigmommasally Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 My OH loves Band of Brothers How abouts Cold Feet; Outnumbered or Gavin & Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Coupling is fab, as is Gavin & Stacey. Cold feet is great too, & Black Books. Can't go wrong with a bit of Blackadder either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Don't know if it's out on DVD yet but I've watched 2 series of Damages with Glenn Close and the 3rd series starts next week. If you like cop shows and don't mind a bit (or a lot) of gore, Dexter is very good. What about The Ladies Detective Agency - very easy watching.

earthmam1 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 we are going through the West Wing - theres 7 series of that (and its very good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 On a completely different wavelength my DH was given the box set of the World at War for Christmas. It is the 1973 series narrated by Laurence Olivier. It is absolutely brilliant as the prople interviewed in it who were involved in the various conflicts were only in their 60's. A fascinating history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Jane Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I sometimes think that we're the only people who watch Mad Men, which is excellent. Series 3 is showing on terrestrial now, but series 1&2 are available together on DVD, And another vote for Dexter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 We watch Mad Men and really like it . Anyone else ever watch Breaking Bad? That was fab . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
