Has possibilities.

Downside is that Michael Weatherly is still playing Anthony DiNozzo (from NCIS)

Not really, you're either still in a show, or you're not.

Anyhow - this thread is for UK shows so enough about that from me.

The Secret

The Secret is the story of a real-life double murder. James Nesbitt plays Colin Howell, a respectable dentist and pillar of the community, who became a killer in partnership with a Sunday school teacher, Hazel Buchanan, played by Genevieve O'Reilly.

This is good.

It shall be done

Based on a true story. Weird people :wtf:

British telly going on a Bowie binge?

Totally lol. Loved the intros as much as the series
Life on Mars was re-done as a US series too - was very popular. I still loved the UK series. Some good acting in that and the blast from the past with the Audi Quattro in Ashes to Ashes was cool

Starting today.

Damned

A comedy about harangued and stressed-out social workers.

Social workers Rose and Al work in a children's services department, dealing every day with the all too familiar social issues that flood the media. Swimming against a tide of bureaucracy and pedantry, and contending with the absurdities and irrationalities of life in a county council office, Damned follows Al and Rose as they navigate their way through their equally trying professional and personal lives.

Every day, the team of dedicated social workers in Children's Services at Elm Heath council are faced with government cuts, huge levels of stress-related sick leave, useless temporary staff and an ever increasing client list. And if it isn't the clients, it's the ex-clients. And if not them, it's their private lives that are giving them grief. Welcome to the world of the Damned.

If I need something light and easy, Friday Night Dinner is my go to series.

Consistently funny and good script.

Maybe it's just me but I found the last series to be less funny than the others. The whole 'p1ss face' and 'puss face' routine needs to be refreshed.
