Any Non-Brits Fans of BBC Shows?

[SwagLordYoloson]

BBC makes some of the best stuff on TV, my favourite shows all come from the BBC, american TV can't stand up to the genius from you Brits

 

[thahat]

I would have given better examples. Things such as Blackadder, Monty Python, A bit of Fry and Laurie, Red Dwarf, that sort of thing is a perfect representation of British humour.

agreed! also, robot wars, and most things regarding history.
merlin and doctor who.. not so much, those are actualy quite rubish XD.
well. maybe not the daleks for oldscool value XD

As big of a Dr. Who fan as I am, I've never watch 'Torchwood' or 'The Sarah Jane Chronicles'.

I don't know why, I've just never gotten around to it.

I'm currently watching the original series from Season 1 to the 2005 revival.
There's a LOT of messed up stuff, quality wise, but I've read that's because most of the originals were either destroyed or not kept in the best of places.

Shame really.

If you want to watch any Dr Who, including the originals just check this out: http://www.doctorwho-episodes.com/

It's legit, I've used it heaps.

I've got a source myself, but if the quality is better I may start using that site.
Thanks for the link.

I am a really big fan of Merlin I don't get why they won't play it here in the States
i am just glad i found a place to watch it on the Net

i'm in america and watched the whole first season on Hulu, check it out there

I watched the first season there and it is up on Netflicks now but i was mainly referring to the current season since I found a place to watch season two

Im British and reading this thread has shocked me. I didnt realise the rest of the world enjoyed our television. Awesome <3

Also, anyone whos a non-brit, check out The Inbetweeners if youve already not seen it. Its not BBC, but channel 4. Youtube it or whatever you please, youll enjoy it, trust me.

 

[shootthebandit]

two words: TOP GEAR

im british but i think topgear should be watched by everyone because its so awesome

also check out inbetweeners so much better than your american high school programmes

 

['Aredor]

Yup, IT Crowd, Coupling, Monty Python of course, and some others

 

[RocksW]

Spooks!

Ive been working my way through the box sets, im on series 5 ATM. Its great the way it doesnt try to paint its characters as 'the good guys.' Its so murky, morally ambiguous and clever that I just cant stop watching it. (although there has been one or two dodgy cliffhangers...)

I have a lot of love for the BBC

 

[Lemmibl]

I dont know which channel it is, but Mitchell and Webb are awesome.

 

[Marowit]

I use to watch a looooot of BBC shows via PBS (public broadcasting here in the States) - Faulty Towers, various mystery shows, etc...

 

[Cazza]

Australian here

Doctor Who, Monty Python, Red Dwarf, Torchwood(makes me want to watch Doctor Who more), Black Books, Faulty Towers. To name some.

I would say that Doctor Who is my favorite show.

 

[Gigano]

Yep, Waking the dead, Spooks, and of course Monty Python.

 

[Geekosaurus]

It must be nice to get BBC America. It sounds like 'the best of all four BBC channels without all the crappy soaps, breakfast shows, local news, cooking shows, politics shows, and any show about history that isn't narrated by Stephen Fry.' I wish I could get that channel.

 

[quiet_samurai]

I like Louis Theroux's documentaries. Other then that... I have limited experience with the BBC, but it seems like a solid affiliation.

 

[Deofuta]

Doctor Who is the best show of all time, ever. Merlin was alright, I mostly ust enjoy seeing peoples reactions when they realize he is a user of magic

 

[Mr Fixit]

I love BBC America, such a wide varity of shows on one channel, its great.
