Top Ten Best BBC Shows
I've noticed that people tend to recognize BBC as an awesome television channel however when the option of watching BBC on an average day they choose not to see it. So if you want nothing to do with BBC then turn away now and dont look back.
Doctor Who is a British science-fiction television programme produced by the BBC since 1963. The programme depicts the adventures of a Time Lord called "the Doctor", an extraterrestrial being from the planet Gallifrey. The Doctor explores the universe in a time-travelling space ship called the TARDIS... read more Possibly the most brilliant thing about this show is the change. The main character basically dies every few years, and it works! The influx of doctors and companions keeps the show fresh and unique, over 50 years after its initial release. There are dark points in the show's history, but it still goes on with the hope that the next doctor will be even greater.
This show has definitely not overstayed its welcome. There is still so much unexplored territory to go through. Let's hope that this show becomes even better when Chibnall takes charge.
I can't even begin to describe how amazing, brilliant, utterly complex, and just fantastic this show is. I could go on all day. It has literally everything the perfect show needs: amazing acting from Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Sherlock Holmes, and Martin Freeman, who plays John Watson. Amazing writing from Moffat and Gatiss, and the overall idea of rebooting Sherlock Holmes for the 21st century is fantastic. It's really the best show out there, in my opinion.
Cumberbatch and Freeman are the highlights of the show. They deserve all the awards they've received, and more! The show is just brilliant. It's also very smart and complex but humorous. Sherlock in the series is hilarious - both the writing and Benedict make him so! He and John have a great relationship in the show. Even the side characters are amazing. MUST WATCH.
Merlin is a British fantasy-adventure television programme created by Julian Jones, Jake Michie, Julian Murphy, and Johnny Capps, starring Colin Morgan in the title role. A great series that deserved more seasons than it got to fully work out its story. It has great, memorable actors who define the way you view the historic characters. It wasn't without its faults, but the amazing chemistry between the characters and the originality of the show and storylines, even if historically unrealistic, trump the few negative aspects of the show.
It's a TV show that will live long in the minds of the fans.
Still one of my favorite series of all time. I like Game of Thrones to a degree, but this just has the tone I tend to like more. This is something I will go back to years from now, and I have since it ended - I can't say the same for GOT.
By far my favorite fantasy series and yet another great adaptation of classic literature and legend along with Robin Hood, The Musketeers, and Troy: Fall of a City. By far my favorite of that bunch.
Downton Abbey is a historical period drama television series created by Julian Fellowes and co-produced by Carnival Films and Masterpiece. Decided to watch an episode on a lazy day off and stopped at the season four finale. This was not all in one day, of course, but I tried! I was thrilled when season five finally arrived.
What about The Hour? Not listed. There should be a series 3!
The Downton Abbey film is being released this month! (September 2019)
War and Peace is a British one-off miniseries adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's 19th century novel of the same name. It was scripted by Andrew Davis and stars Downton Abbey's Lily James as Natasha Rostava and Grantchester's James Norton as Prince Andrei Bolkonsky. Stunning casting, scenery, and faithfulness to the original.
Just cracked me up! Some of the best British humour.
I ship Jack and Gwen, and Owen and Gwen. I ship Gwen with anyone except Rhys, and she ended up marrying him.
Top Gear is a British television series about motor vehicles, primarily cars, and is a relaunched version of the original 1977 show of the same name, airing since 2002, and becoming the most widely watched factual television programme in the world. Most popular worldwide. In series 21 alone, they have been to Ukraine, Belgium, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, Burma, and Thailand. Best celebrity guests as well, ranging from politicians and TV's best-known faces, all the way to F1 drivers and top Hollywood stars.
Top Gear has more views on YouTube and is watched by over 100 million people around the globe. Why is it being beaten by Doctor Who? I'm pretty sure Doctor Who isn't watched by as many people.
Top Gear has been on television for 20 seasons. It's so fluffy, I'm gonna die.
I loved this cool show set back in the 1860s and 1870s in NY about immigration and the Irish.
Perfect acting and script. Sorry to see it end.
Miranda is funny! She represents all that is joyous and humorous! She is a delight to watch for the entire family!
An amazing show, one of the best ever comedians. She is a national treasure.
I wish they would bring her back. Loved her show!
Sarah Jane keeps calm in the face of danger.
I have never since watched a show where falling to the floor in pain from laughing so hard happened more than once in a single episode. This show is genius. It was so far ahead of its time, still quoted today in mainstream culture, and beyond the humor of almost anything made today, besides 'Whose Line Is It Anyway.' I have never watched anything funnier in my life, and a lot of the humor is actually quite intelligent as well.
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Love the "accidental" sense of humor each character displays, especially Lionel and Jean.
Doc Martin is one of the best shows I've ever watched! I didn't watch it at first, thinking it didn't sound like my type of show, but I was so wrong. I have the collection and still watch it a lot.
Top-tier actors! Top-of-the-line sets, costumes, etc. The actors perfectly fit their parts - all of them, from the Queen and King to, of course, the Musketeers and Treville (sp?). I'm not too sure about Rochefort, but it's still early for him. We'll see. However, he does play an excellent villain, the perfect guy to loathe! I don't like Milady, but that's a good thing - you're not supposed to!
My favorite part of the show: screenwriting, directing, and camerawork! These people know their art! It makes sense considering the shows they've worked on or created in earlier years. Bravo!
Red Dwarf is a British science fiction comedy franchise which primarily consists of a television sitcom that aired on BBC Two between 1988 and 1999, and on Dave since 2009, gaining a cult following.I love it! It is a show that will leave you satisfied. It is intense and, at times, very emotional.
I like how they (the outlaws) realize their set plans and bug the Sheriff! The best!
This show is actually phenomenal. I think it deserves a look.
Launched in 2008, this British supernatural drama series explores the lives of three twenty-somethings trying to live normal lives despite being a ghost, a vampire, and a werewolf. The series blends elements of drama, comedy, and horror and has spawned an American adaptation. Absolutely fantastic. I cried and laughed my way through the entire series. From humor, drama, and heart-wrenching love stories that have to end, the show truly has it all.
With only ten episodes, this show not being on the list isn't surprising, but if you haven't seen it, go to Netflix right now and watch! Great writing, intense stories, and incredible acting.
We loved this series and want more of these two very sexy, great British actors! Just waiting for more!
One of the best shows I've seen. The acting, thought, and action are all beyond words.
