British tv shows ♥

[starsthatshine]

I love love love love love love British shows. I mean, American ones are made 100+ a year and most of them are crap but... British ones are quality. Or at least generally much more enjoyable than American ones because American ones tend to go mostly on clichés while British ones are more reality-based. Or at least that's how I've seen things.

I'm rewatching Life on Mars while introducing my sister to it and it's so much love. Annie/Sam is one of those ships I really love. I can understand the Gene/Sam love, but I'm not a fan of it in that way. I love their friendship and how it really doesn't work most of the time.

I want to see more British shows (I've got my interest peaked) and I've seen Doctor Who, Torchwood, Life on Mars and Skins. Are there any other good shows out there that are worthy of a watch?

Edit: *headdesk* I forgot, I've also seen Hex, Fawlty Towers and Midsomer Murders (I tried Robin Hood but I almost fell asleep when I saw the pilot)

The Office is a must. It's a gazillion times better than the American version.

I tried to watch it once but it was really difficult to hear what they were saying :P Suppose there was some issues with the sound.
