UK Telly suggestions?

[ceebee_eebee]

Ok. I've run out of shows to watch again! I'm hoping you all might have some suggestions. Here are the series I've watched recently (or rewatch ad nauseum) and maybe some of you have seen something excellent I've missed?

Doctor Who
Spooks
Wire in the Blood
Luther
Kingdom
The Hour
The Fixer
Waking the Dead
Scott & Bailey
The Fades
Thick of It
Sherlock
Jekyll
Whitehall
Ultraviolet

I tried but didn't like: Touching Evil, Being Human, Fortysomething, and Survivors. And I hated Outcasts. What a fucking WASTE of talent.

Have I skipped something awesome? HELP! HELP!

It's not normally my type of thing, but I loved Case Histories (er, possibly mostly due to Jason Isaacs) which was on earlier this year.

Have you tried the proper original Survivors? Its first season I love like pie and Abby Grant, PROPER Abby Grant is one of my favourite sci-fi heroes.

And I hated Outcasts. What a fucking WASTE of talent.

SO MUCH. And my requirements for a BBC show with spaceships are SO LOW. AND YET SOMEHOW THEY FAILED THEM.

Ooooo! I hadn't heard of Case Histories! I'll definitely give it a shot (especially since an actress gets second billing which is always a good sign).

Haven't seen the original Survivors, either. Let me go investigate...

As for Outcasts, it makes me want to cry because HERMIONE. I live for her. I will watch anything she's in. PLUS, Ben Richards did an amazing job with The Fixer and his Spooks stuff is some of the best. He needs to NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER attempt to do scifi again or I swear to god I'll go to the UK, track him down, and slap him in the face.

The books that its based on were recced to me on the basis that they had a lot of interesting female characters, and I think that comes through on the telly.

As for Outcasts, it makes me want to cry because HERMIONE. I live for her. I will watch anything she's in.

QUITE. When she can't even save her scenes, let alone the show, THERE IS SOMETHING V WRONG.

OH HARRY HELLO HARRY ILU.

Pssst. Would you happen to know where a person who isn't in the UK might be able to watch this Case Histories you speak of? Maybe?
