For me it’s BBC’s 1995 Pride and Prejudice. Absolute perfection, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Maid Marion and her merry men 😂

Tell me one thing that's wrong with it?! I'm listening!!! Its a million times better than most adult TV shows and worth a nom for the theme tune alone😂

Schitts Creek
The Outlaws
Yes Minister/Prime Minister

Definitely agree with Happy Valley.

There are a few others with perfect series but I'd struggle to come up with any that are perfect for their whole run from start to finish.

YouCouldUseAFlakeOrTwo · 28/07/2023 18:46

Green Wing is wonderful too.

Also how could I forget Psychoville given my username? Better than League and No 9...just hilarious.

When I was a teenager at school it was "Game On". On once a week and we would all talk about it the next day at school. Those were the days....

Of all the titles I thought would come up..😂I do vaguely remember it!

As random as saying Raggy Dolls or Knightmare (both classics, obvs 😉)

Yes to Motherland and I’ve just seen the John Stamos update. That’s his guesting in an episode of Friends ruined for me.
