Can anyone suggest any TV series I might enjoy based on the list of some below that I alreayd own.

The Office
Alan Partridge
Flight Of The Conchords
Summer Heights High
The Inbetweeners
Extras

Those are the main ones I enjoy that I can think of off the top of my head.

The Wire. Everyone likes The Wire.

How about Green Wing? Unless you've seen it all already ofc.

Spare.

[AB Editor]

Arrested Development?
Curb Your Enthusiasm?

[milly143]

Never seen The Wire. Is it a drama?

Green Wing is a good shout. I enjoyed that.

What's Breaking Bad, Trigger? Have tried to get into MB before but it's just not for me, that one.

[milly143]

Might add Arrested Dev to the 'to buy' list too then.

[AB Editor]

The Wire is a detective "drama". Really "hard" watch on occasion but with a perfect cast and shining writing.

Lots of swearing, drugs, & fighting.

How about for something lighter but still a high concept drama: Dexter? A serial killer "who only kills bad guys". Played by your man from 6 feet under.

Black Books & Spaced. If it doesn't have to be comedy then Life on Mars & Ashes to Ashes

Black Adder the complete collection.

[AB Editor]

Yes, please do. The best thing about AD is the long run up to jokes. They drop what feels like nonsense in throughout and come back to it much later for the punch line (in a couple of cases in between series).

I can also recommend "It's always sunny in Philadelphia" - if you like A-moral humour.

"Lots of swearing, drugs, & fighting."

Sounds like a winner. I didn't think I enjoyed that sort of thing until I watched Martina Coles, The Take. Was absolutely brilliant!

'The Inevitable Boxset' - 5 DVDs of Bill Bailey's live performances.

I watch Black Adder with my Dad sometimes as he has them all. He finds it hilarious to compare Kate and her Dad to me (because I'm Kate). Even though from memory her tried told her to become a prostitute. Lol.

[Everhelpful]

Definitely "Dexter",Brilliant.!!!!

coupling
game on

[VHG]

Coupling was a great adult comedy series (a sort of UK friends). Written by the guy who currently writes Dr Who.

Here is a scene with "Jeff" (shy with women) who fancies this woman on the train
