mrs. bucket......

mrs. bouquet

but it's spelled bucket!......lol

Well, being British, I watch quite a lot of British TV!! I love Keeping Up Appearences.....it's really funny, although I don't think they'll ever be able to match classics like 'Fawlty Towers' (with a very young John Cleese, a.k.a Nearly Headless Nick) and 'Blackadder' (with a very young Miranda Richardson and Steven Fry!)

What about dramas? Does everyone else get shows like 'Foyle's War' and the BBC stuff like 'Pride and Prejudice'? 'Prime Suspect'? 'Silent Witness?'

Yeah, i like lots of shows. And as for soap opera's..well my grandma got me hooked on them at a very young age and now i watch them alot! LOL!

OMG! I watch thoughs shows every night. I like "Are you being served" better than "keeping up apperaences" (sry if I spelled it wrong ^^).

But Hiersynth (I know I spelled that wrong) is very funny.. ^^

the correct word that defines myself would be

"anglophile"

i love keeping up appearences and are you being served?

i never really thought that ppl heard of those shows...

i live in florida but i do get a bbc channel....i watch what i can

someday i would love to visit or even live in england.....

I don't think I've ever watched any! I wonder if basic cable in NY has it. . . Anybody know?

seeing as i live in the middel of the us i don't wacth much bristh tv. PBS shows the bbc news but that is it i have tapes of a show call motey pyton it is realy funny

i ued to watch Worst Witch before it got cancled.i litterly cried when i found out.

lol. aw i hated the way every episode ended with her laffing and then it freezing on that........really got on my nerves, lol.

what about Abfab? (absolutely fabulous)
and is there nickolodeon on british tv?
with sabrina and saved by the bell and of course spongebob squarepants:P

i dunno.......but you'd have to ask someone who lives there....lol

Yes, we do have Nickleodeon!! And all those shows, but my favourite has to be SpongeBob!!! That dude is hysterical!!! Although I think that Squidward is pretty cool too....

Spongebob is awesome!
Anyways, I dont get British TV (of course Iliveion the Southern US, so that might be part of it) we would if we bought the advanced cable package with like 300 chanels of nothing but we have basic cable, anyways PBS will sometimes have BBC specials and all but no actual TV shows.

yeah spongebob rules!!! and what else is on nickolodeon in England?
rocket power? ginger??

i watch the british 'queer eye for the straight guy'. it's quite funny.

Are there any fans of Father Ted or Red dwarf out there?
I’m not sure if any of these shows were ever played in America but there both excellent!
There two of my all time favourite comedies along with the brilliantly witty Blackadder and Faulty towers.

I also love Panel shows like 'Have I got news for you' and 'they think its all over'.

And strangely I also love quiz show like the Weakest link and Who wants to be a millionaire, although that’s probably only because I get the chance to shout at my TV with out looking like too much of a fool. I stress the word too there though!

I used to really like Red Dwarf, but I haven't seen it for ages. I really like Chris Barrie though and...that robot guy....can't remember his name now.

I have to agree about Blackadder and Fawlty Towers though...they are two of the best shows ever. Wasn't a big fan of the first season of Blackadder though, they got much better after that.

I get far too competitive when I watch quiz shows....although the last one I did was the National IQ test and I was pretty chuffed when it came out as 128....

You do realise miranda richardson (aka rita skeeter, gof) was in every series of blackadder?

also mark um... whatever his name is (mr weasley) was in red dwarf!

just thought id make a few connections there between HP and the two other greatest shows on earth!

oh, and they actually made a "Red Dwarf America" pilot, but it was terrible so they scrapped the idea

PBS shows quite a few british shows where I live. Red Dwarf is my all time favorite; I like to interject "But--what is it?" into any conversation where someone has launched into an overly complicated explanation of something-- that was the Cat's too-often-repeated line when Kryton was trying to explain a time anomoly. "Oxygen is for losers!" has also come in handy. And don't Dementors seem a lot like the Squid of Despair?

I also like Father Ted and My Hero. They are really stupid, but I'm nearly on the floor laughing when I watch them. Fawlty Towers was great, too. I occasionally see Waiting For God, because Stephanie Cole is so good.

I loved Waiting for God! I thought I was the only one who did! Well...the only one my age anyway... I love Fawlty Towers and Blackadder too, I was watching 'The Hotel Inspectors' this morning, actually! God, John Cleese is a genius...he totally cracks me up. Can't say I thought much of 'My Hero' though, but 'Father Ted' was brilliant.

What about 'My Family'? That's really good too. And the guy who plays Michael is the absolute spitting image of Dan Radcliffe...plus the hysterical Kris Marshall (from Love Actually) is in it, so you have to take a look at it.....ooh, Zoe Wanamaker (Madame Hooch) is in it too!!

How's that for HP connections...

Just on the subject of Harry Potter connections to British TV shows, does anyone Know the name of that panel show which Stephen Fry Hosts on BBC2 where the screen flashes every time common misconceptions are mentioned?
What ever it is its brilliant the person with the curly hair who is the captain of one of the teams is really funny!
Sorry about my complete lack of any real names for anything or anybody in the show i'm talking about but it's brilliant, i just have a very bad memory!
I think it has IQ in the title.

Oh yeah! I've seen that! It's called QI (so you were fairly close... ) The curly haired guy...I think that's Alan Davies, isn't it? He played Johnathon Creek...(or is it 'Jonathon'...**shrugs**)

Good show though...it was really funny. I didn't think it was still on, but when I just checked the BBC pages, turns out that it is...

QI

Lucky there's a fellow Brit here with impeccable taste in TV shows, eh?

**slaps self** Sorry....flirting again....that's the Gemini in me, I'm afraid....

Oh yeah I completely forgot that he was the guy from Johnathon Creek! I never really saw too much of that show, always meant to though.
Thank-you Dana, Souljacker says while blushing (nothing to do with the fact that I’m a Taurus but more my crippling shyness).

Ahh they say speaking about yourself in the third person is the first sign of madness..

Yup, it certainly is.... But you're okay so long as you don't start talking to yourself or sprouting hairs out of your palms...

I haven't actually seen Johnathon Creek, to be honest....well, just the first episode, but I wasn't impressed so I gave it up. I get bored very easily.... But I know about Alan Davies because...well...I watch a lot of adverts!!! It's hard not to really when you're trying to watch a Columbo film on Granada Plus and they keep breaking every five minutes to show the same freaking insurance/pensions/funeral funds adverts...... Happy little channel.....but very handy if you're in the market for a carriage clock or Marks and Spencer vouchers which are free when you sign up for a free medical check to make sure you're not going to kick the bucket before the policy matures....

And there's no need to be shy!! I don't bite....hard.... **meow**

Jonathan Creek, omg, I forgot about that show, we (meaning me and my family) use to always watch it, and that midsummer murders, oh I cant wait to get back in England and watch all my favourites again, American telly shows can’t go 10 minuets with out a advert…I cant stand it…I use to think channel 3 was bad when half way though a good Coronation street showing the adverts use to come on but here (in America) its got adverts on ever single channel, its crazy!
I use to miss British humour so much but then I found a fantastic channel called “KERA” (number 13 on my telly) and every Friday night threw Sunday it has all the cool British comedies on…believe me its like haven if your missing home! We’ve got the American BBC thingy but its all stupid ‘home improvement shows’ …I wish they would show Ally-G over here, or Harry Enfield! Gash I love that guy, he’s so darn funny! When he plays ‘Kevin’…I am all excited now! I can’t wait to go to England and watch the telly…
Someone was talking about the “worst which” that show is such a spin off of the Harry Potter books, when I was like 12 I remember watching it and I think I had the books too…anyways I never really thought of it until this summer when it was on (and I was in England) and its like so similar…
Ok one more thing, when I was little I rember getting up early like every Saturday to watch “Live and Kicking” I don’t know if anyone remembers that or if its still on… but it seams to stick in my head…that and a ‘yellow mallet’ for some odd reason…
“English Telly Rocks”

Toni

I watch emmerdale, corrie, eastenders and hollyoaks

Oh yeah, Toni!!! Timmy Mallet's Mallet!!! How could you forget the name of that?! And I absolutely loved 'Live and Kicking'...one of the best ever Saturday morning TV shows, although Ministry of Mayhem is pretty good too....but they don't have the interviews and stuff that Live and Kicking did. And they don't have Trev and Simon...

As for 'The Worst Witch'...sorry to tell you, but if anyone's ripped off anything, it's JKR. The Worst Witch has been around for at least twenty years, if not longer. The books came first, followed by a movie with Fairuza Balk, Tim Curry and Diana Rigg (another excellent Umbridge candidate, but not as good as Patricia Routledge). The movie sucked the big one, especially when compared to harry Potter, but unfortunately, back in 1986 when I was a kid, that was all the magic we had...the Harry Potter of its day...

Don't suppose any of you guys remember an absolutely brilliant show called 'Knightmare', do you? I'm watching it right now and, back in the mid 1980's, they were talking about 'Sorcerer's Stones' and 'Hippogriffs' you know....JKR has simply drawn on ideas that have been out there for years.

I just wish I could have thought of it first...

I love British tv shows.

I watch:

My family
Little Britain
The Bill
Are you Being Served?
Monty Python
Benny Hill
Vicar of Dibley

Benny Hill?! Lordy, they're not still showing that, are they? It was rubbish when it was on when I was little!! I've never been much of a one for the traditional Carry-on type of toilet humour and suggestive stuff that usually comprises British comedy...I prefer something a bit drier myself, which is why I'd rather go for stuff like Blackadder and My Family.

The Vicar of Dibley is pretty good too though. What about BBC dramas and things like that?

Wow, it's been a long time since I've had the time or the concentration to devote to a drama, be it American or British.

I remember seeing a long time ago a very good adaptation of Moll Flanders starring Alex Kingsley(? not sure I have the actress' name correct).

I also used to watch Mystery! quite a bit, there were some very good shows there, notably the first Prime Suspect, and the series with the Inspector who was going blind (argh, can't remember what it was called).

Ab Fab = Absolutely Fabulous!!

I love that show!

Red Dwarf and Mr Bean have got to be my favourite old comdey shows.

wow.........i changed my username from flygal101 to Anglophile92 a long time ago........

anyways, i watch BBC America. I love watching loads of t.v. shows
such includes:
- Ground Force
- The Weakest Link (british one of course!)
- The Enemy Within
- The Kumars
- Benny Hills
- Are You Being Served

Course there are more.......i just forget......

Red Dwarf i love that show. So old but one of the most good and funny things i have ever seen . Oh i love a good soap too

I Love Red Dwarf too! But its not that old (or at least I hope it's not as I grew up watching it). The first few series were made on a very low budget hence why it kinda looks like it’s from the 70's.

Incidentally does any one know if there still making the Red Dwarf Movie?

What British soaps do you like?

I've never really got into Carnation Street or Eastenders but I use to be addicted to Neighbours (which i know isn't British, but it’s a bit of an institution on the BBC) but i haven’t watched it in years.

Oh god, I detest soaps....I used to watch Coronation Street, but I gave up on that as soon as the whole Steve/Tracy/Karen thing started. Eastenders was good for a while just after Nigel Harmon came into it (OMG...what a cutie he was....and a bad boy to boot...**drool**) but even that's gotten very samey lately. I mean, you can only recycle old storylines so many times before they start getting predicatable and a bit boring.

I used to watch neighbours back when Jason and Kylie were still in it, but that got a little boring eventually too. Although I have to admit to owning the Neighbours Wedding Collection at one time - Scott/Charlene, Des/Daphne, Madge/Harold were on it and someone else that I can't remember now. I was very sad as a kid, what can I say?

To be perfectly honest, I think the US is churning out much better stuff these days - 24, American Idol, stuff like that...they are the only shows I really make an effort to watch anymore. I'm usually too busy to watch anything else regularly... Flaming uni.....

Hey Dana, is that one show "never mind the buzz cocks" still on? man i use to love that. and that "Harry Endfeild and chums" program then Tarrant on T.v was always a good laugh and the odd Ali-G show.
man i miss english t.v,

i am british, but i don't wotch that much british show, i usto wotch the bill, now and then i wotch grang hill (don't thick i spellt that right). there cagulty i love that, it a hospital think, i think it better than holby city, little briton is cool and my family is just amazing. oh yeah father teb is prity good as well.

The only British television show that I watch is Keeping up Appearances. I absolutely love this show.
