It’s a cheap listicle but a good excuse to kick off a general discussion.

The list is:

  1. Black Mirror
  2. Dr Who
  3. The Prisoner
  4. Red Dwarf
  5. Life on Mars
  6. Ashes to Ashes
  7. Survivors
  8. Ultraviolet
  9. UFO
  10. Blake’s Seven

So any favourites there? Did just sorting by votes miss anything off you think is worthy of a mention?

    I like this list, but it’s weird having Devs in it. It’s set in California and while the lead is British, she uses an American accent.

      Yeah, as you go down the list, you hit quite a few more modern co-productionsn and the shows aren’t very British.

        Yeah I had no idea that Man In The High Castle was British I thought it was American you know because of the setting being in America.

        By the same token I wouldn’t consider Miracle Day to be British either, not that it’s on the list.

          Miracle Day is just folded into Torchwood on IMDb as series 4. That I would consider as British despite the American setting.
