My co-worker was just talking about Primeval. Any good? Worth picking up on DVD? What about Red Dwarf? I've never seen that either, though I've heard of it.
Any other good shows worth getting? They don't have to be SF.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: British TV Shows?
Red Dwarf, the best comedy sci-fi. EVAR. (They made an american pilot show, but it was shit.)
Primaeval I think is aimed at the kiddies? (To be honest I've not seen it.)
Charlie Brooker's Newswipe. (Beats the living snot out of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. The man is a fucking genius.)
Monkey Dust. (The darkest animation/comedy you will ever see.)
Black Books.
Father Ted.
The IT Crowd.
Need more?

Re: British TV Shows?
I forgot to say, "would you kindly," but it looks like I got some replies anyway 
Yikes, so Primeval is rubbish? Thanks for the warning
I'll definitely pick up Red Dwarf
I have Season One of Black Books. I thought it was dreadful
Monkey Dust sounds particularly interesting to me
I'll check out the others as well

The first series was a little weak in parts. The second is good and the third is genius.Clinton Huxley wrote:tattuchu wrote: I have Season One of Black Books. I thought it was dreadful

Re: British TV Shows?
The first two seasons of Red Dwarf are good but season 3 is where it really hits its stride - once Kryten becomes a regular.
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Re: British TV Shows?
I thought Primeval had some nice ideas in it, various bizarre future predators such as the pseudo-walrus thing that had actually eveolved from an ape. Unfortunately beyond that it didn't seem to have a lot going for it. I reckon you'd seriously love Red Dwarf though, Tatt. Father Ted too if you've not seen it - that was just about my favourite comedy of all time.

There you go - that's the good bits of Primeval somewhere in that lot.
The guy on the boat.... that hat... I fucking loathe those silly little pork pie hats. There should be laws.

Re: British TV Shows?
I finally rented some Red Dwarf after years of hearing about how great it was... and I was rather disappointed. It was OK, but not howlingly witty and funny as I'd been led to believe.
Father Ted's got some great moments.
Even though much of it is dated I still adore Yes, Minister & Yes, Prime Minister.
And of even older shows, Not Only... But Also.... with Cook and Moore is dead brilliant.

You might like Last Of The Summer Wine, a bitter, sweary, vicious comedy, sort of a cross between The Wire and The Young Ones.
