IAmSinistar: And I'm a big Yes Minister fan, so I had to watch the similar No Job for a Lady. A good show, though the first season is the better of them due to the casting.

JudasIscariot: I dunno, Yes, Prime Minister was slightly better :P
Silly boy, I meant the first season of No Job for a Lady is the better of the seasons, mostly because of the actor playing her nemesis. Though I suspect you understood me anyway. ;)

I don't recall if anyone mentioned The Crystal Maze yet, though. Another good game show, if of a very different nature.

I forgot to add "Death in Paradise"
Well i say forgot, I was holding off till id watched the first of the new series as they killed off the lead character and replaced him but it seemed to work

Ill also add "My Family" and also it may have been mentioned but "My Hero" was pretty good IIRC but its likely 15 years old now.

Just saw a listing for Sherlock on our PBS stations. I need to catch up to wherever they are. Hopefully, this Sherlock is the one currently running on BBC.
