It started with Top Gear (working on second viewing of all episodes).  That led to James May's Wine Adventures (13 episodes), then Wheeler Dealers (all episodes) all things Gordon Ramsey, then  Blackadder, then In Search of Shakespeare (4 episodes),  then  Monarchy (11 parts) and now The Tudors (on episode 8 of about 58), a slew of Brit films like Nana, Lamp in Assassin Mews, and The War Bride.

    I'm with Casca, with Yes Minister and To the Manor Born thrown in. And Red Dwarf for silliness, once in a while.

    Does anyone remember The Bounder? Classic, and top of the charts, also you MUST see Porterhouse Blue.
