Some good answers there. Is also add Wings, Colditz, Secret Army, Cullodden, Sapphire & Steel, Blakes' 7, Survivors, Tripods and Robin of Sherwood.
 
The West Wing - Love dialogue and it treated its viewer as if they we grown-ups
House of Cards [UK version] - Just gloriously complex!
 
The Strain Great concept and cast and very gripping
:cool:
Hannibal This is a great tv show , It just keep you watching and wanting more. :cool:
 
Masada 1981 Miniseries Lead by Peter O Tool and Richard Strauss and great supporting cast .:cool:
 
I never watched it as i was too young to appreciate it, but Tenko looked liked quite an interesting drama and unusual in that it had a predominantly female led cast.
 
I, Claudius




Claudius: Oh, god of gods! Never have I witnessed a dance that gave me such p-profound s-spiritual joy!
Caligula: Oh. Did you like it?
Claudius: It was indesc-cribable.
Caligula: Well, it was only a rehearsal
Claudius: Oh. W-whatever will the f-finished performance be like?
Caligula: Get up. Come here. What did you think of the girl?
Claudius: Oh, b-beautiful
Caligula: You old lecher! Bring the girl back! I'm going to marry her to you tomorrow!
 
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Smiley's People
The Night Manager
Breaking Bad
 
POSE - Possibly the best drama I've watched since The West Wing.
The writing is great, the characters are believable and the actors and acting amazing.
It took me to a society and way of life I knew nothing and made me care what happened.
It is a hard and heart wrenching watch at times, but all so full of life and love.
 
My father in law recently died and we now have a load of his dvds I am slowly working through them. I know I am going to enjoy Danger UXB but what surprised me was The Onedin Line, a series I remember as something I had to endure as a kid back in the 70s but now as an adult I enjoy. Like the William Tell Overture and Hi Ho Silver, I am sure most people of my vintage or older from the UK do not think of gladiators when they hear Khachaturian's Adagio from Spartacus but think of a large sailing ship crossing the sea. I wonder what Khachaturian would have made of it.
