What British tv-shows do you like (preferably ones that have at least one series out on DVD)? And could you maybe tell me a little bit about what they're about and why you like them.
I like Merlin - of course. And I won't describe it since I guess either you're watching it or if not you probably know a lot about it because of your flist.
Survivors is a End-of-the-world show, where a virus (I think it's an agressive flu) kills most of the human population and the rest tries to go on. What I really like about it: There is a lot of action in it, but also a lot of heart and a lot of social criticism. And the different ways people find to survive and try to go on is just fascinating to me.
Secret diary of a callgirl is about a ... callgirl - who would have guessed. I think pretty amazing about this show is, that it's about a whore, but it's sooo sweet at times. And it doesn't try to be a OUT THERE, just tells a story about a girl that lives her life with all the problems we all have each day, but happens to be a whore and that happens to be a job she really likes.
Being human is about a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire that live together as roommates in a house and try to live their lifes as unsuspectional as possible. I like it, because it shows what "human" really means ... some characters who actually are human behave a lot less human than these three.
And last not least: Primeval. Great show, great characters, very much on the crack-side, but warm-heartedly and funny.
Primeval is one of my favourite shows and I'm so happy that there's going to be another season after all. I also love Merlin and Being Human and Billie Piper is just adorable in Secret Diary of a Callgirl.
I've never heard of Survivors, though. It does sound like my kind of show. And since we seem to have a very similar taste that one will definitely go on my amazon wishlist. Thank you. :)
