best tv show ever

[LowKarate]

now there is taste would add the first 3 series of Shameless (very repative and quite poor after that) and Yes Minister/Prime Minister and we are there.

Now I bet a lot of people are going to say what to A Very Peculiar Practice a gem deeply burried that was.

Loved A Very Peculiar Practice. I popped into the BBC Shop outside Broadcasting House a few years back and asked if they were considering releasing it on DVD. They said that they were unable to do so as one of the stars was unhappy with their character and didn't want it shown more widely that could lead to them being type-cast. They didn't say which one, but my guess is that it was the guy who played Bob Buzzard. They did show the first series on BBC4 a few years ago, so I recorded that instead. Very black humour and genuine TV Gold.
