I remember back in the mid-90s that A&E broadcast for the first time the episodes of "The Avengers" that were done before Diana Rigg. Those shows just didn't have the flare.

Okay, here's one not mentioned...Dame Edna Everage!

An Australian artiste and icon, Dame Edna is part of the roster of talent within The Barry Humphries Conglomerate who had a super...

"The Avengers" was always a favorite of mine. Diana Rigg was fantastic. I never cared for the show after she left. Linda Thorson just didn't fit the mold.

Dang, did I forget "The Avengers"? I never saw many episodes of that, but I have it coming up soon on my Netflix queue! I do recall that as a kid I thought it rather neat that this dapper British gent and this gal-pal of his who could fight off men fought crime together.

Never saw "All Creatures", although I think Robert Hardy who played Leicester in "Elizabeth R" is in...

Thanks for the nudge, Tony!

Yes, the George Smiley series on PBS starring Alec Guinness! Absolutely fantastic, one of the few items I rated 5 stars on Netflix. I have a fondness for gritty Cold War dramas with cynical wit attached.

And of course...ANY DANG THING AT ALL with Patrick McGoohan. Yes, he's actually American, but "The Prisoner" and "Danger Man" are two of the most entertaining non-comedic British series I've ever seen. I'm...

"A&E" stands for "Arts & Entertainment". That channel owns "The Biography Channel",both channels were the ones that aired the hour-long biography on the Monkees in about December 2007.

I have seen some of Top Gear. Most recently when they had Ronnie Wood from Rolling Stones drive. He beat Helen Mirren and has not beaten Billie Piper.

And one of the channels we can thank for alot of the british shows was the PBS channel. They aired alot of them.

I must say, I am suprised to see the amount of British programs that everyone has watched.

I completely agree Maria - I'm shocked that so much made it across the pond. I wonder how it compares - imports vs exports. Top Gear is ace - I've found Jeremy Clarkson's (sp?) books funny too - it's basically just him moaning!

I remember "The Bugaloos". Great show. American,not British,though,I believe. I vividly remember Mama Cass Elliot as a witch in one episode of that show.

I saw part of "The Day After" when it originally aired in 1983 and that was bad enough. There's enough despair around today without me watching "Threads".

On a lighter note, does anyone remember some of the goofier Saturday morning British shows from the early 70s? There was a cartoon called "Tomfoolery", done in the spirit of Laugh-In with lots of rapid one-shot jokes and snappy patter. Then there was "The Double Deckers" about some kids...
