British Tv Shows

[Effulgent]

Does anyone here watch any British Tv Shows or Dramas?

I usually hate Bbc tv dramas, but theirs this drama on bbc one that I am hooked on its called Life On Mars, it even has its own lj community, that I have joined of course
its about a police officer that gets transported back into 1973, and its AWESOME, I think it only has one episode left: www.bbc.co.uk/drama/lifeonmars/

and I have a crush on this character : www.bbc.co.uk/drama/lifeonmars/philip_glenister.shtml

hes such an ass! love love love! and I'm shipping a couple too, its slash of course

I watch a Drama called Shameless on Channel 4 I didn't like it at first, but then I got hooked on it, its chav-tastic! www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/S/shameless/

I don't have any crushes or ships

and I watch a drama called No Angels, the last series starts on tuesday, its great! sex in the city with nurses!, I have a favourite character shes a character called Lia, and I have a ship too, well two actually, anyways since its the last series I'll miss it, since Its another show that I am hooked on.

I also Watch Doctor Who, great show, great actors, great tardis! the doctor and captain Jack are my favourite characters.

and I occasionally watch Hollyoaks (mmm good looking actors that can't act) and eastenders once in a year.

Life on Mars is a sensation i managed to miss the first few eps so dont totally understand the coma business , but i love the stories and the main two coppers im going to download the entire series once its over and fill in the gaps ive got

[Effulgent]

well the lj community I have has some Episodes uploaded, I don't know if you would be able to download them, since you don't have a lj, I'm in the process of downloading the last episode right now (not the last one, thats airs on monday, but episode 7)

yeah the characters are great, its like a fandom now, theirs fics about and everything

Hes in a coma, because he was hit by a car, when he was hit by the car... he woke up in 1973 I think... I can't really remember it.... but in 2006 hes in the hospital in a coma.

you lj snobs

its been on the cover of scifi magazines getting lots of praise
i think theres going to be a series 2 , there bettter be anyway

[Effulgent]

lj snobs are the best kind of snobs

Yeah it is, its getting a lot of viewers and a lot of praise its great.
Yeah I heard that it is getting a series 2, but It doesn't say anything on the website about it, if it does I missed it, but I think there is going to be one
I would love it if we had a christmas special! maybe we could finally see mrs gov genes wife (lucky lass)
although I did kind of wont him and Jackie to get together in episode 6, but still hes Sams anyway Gene/Sam forever.
I really want to start making Life on mars icons but I don't have photoshop now this sucks.

Life on Mars just didn't appeal to me...I think the ads made it look too camp.

I watch loads of British shows. Doctor Who, Hex, A Touch of Frost (ha), I watched Queer as Folk (the original UK version), and I remember such classics as The Grimley's, I used to watch Hollyoaks and Eastenders, Coronation Street and such...still catch episodes of them sometimes...

I liked Strange too. The short-lived fantasy series with that bloke off Coupling and Samantha Janus.

When I'm feeling crime-y I watch Messiah or even Midsomer Murders if I'm bored. That theme tune scares me. Waking the Dead is class, too.

I don't usually watch the period drama's BBC does but I enjoyed Fingersmith.

You probably have no idea what I'm going on about.

Oh and I'll watch anything with French and Saunders in it, or Victoria Wood. British comedians are the best.

[Effulgent]

hello! 1970s = camp! Its great!

haha its too camp, and then you say you watched queer as folk

I loved Queen as Folk! I was hooked on it, I'd call it one of my fandoms if I could remember half of what happened in the show. I think I was about 11 when it was on tv I enjoyed the man sex! and the characters were great too, stuart was my favourite character, even though he was a ass and then Vince.

did you know that christopher eccleston auditioned for the role of stuart? but then he withdrew himself because he thought he was too old and then reccommended Aidan Gillen

A Touch of Frost? haha, one of the people that lived here (We used to own a b&b now its just a big house) had free a touch of frost videos sent to her, and when she and her family left we still got them, I watched about 10 minutes of one of them and got bored... that was 7 years ago, I think.

I watched the Grimleys! it was good.

I used to love French and Saunders but its not that funny now, the girls still make me snort a little though, yeah british comedians are great.

[JamesMFan]

But Queer as Folk is supposed to be camp, Life on Mars is not!! Besides, Queer as Folk was on years ago and I liked camp back then

Christopher Eccleston as Stuart? Mmm I think that would have been weird. I don't think he has the looks

I know French and Saunders have declined but it's like a tradition in my family to watch them so ARSE. I also like Jo Brand. She's great

[z]

I used to like Lovejoy

[JamesMFan]

Challenge Anneka! Live and Kicking! Noel's House Party!

[z]

The IT crowds very promising too .

[JamesMFan]

Ack. I tired watching that and found it poopy. I saw on the ad it has the girl from Hex in it, Ella. She has red hair.

[Effulgent]

the it crowd isn't that good.

Live and Kicking! I loved live and kicking it was a great show! I also watched Cd:uk, it was never the same after Ant and Dec left.

[JamesMFan]

I preferred Ant and Dec back when they were PJ and Duncan

Which reminds me - Biker Grove! Grange Hill! Biker Mice from Mars!

[Effulgent]

oh it was smtv live not cduk!

I didn't watch byker grove when they were on it.

yeah byker grove was great! so was Grange hill! ahhh nostalgia!
