Small list of 5 great british tv shows. I decided not to include skins, misfits, merlin, etc and put Horizon in the poll instead because it's one of the best things about British telly. We make awesome documentaries.

The poll options can also be interpreted as a list of programmes to watch.

I'm British....Voted anyway for Too Human. The lack of IT crowd on the list is dissapointing tho.

Surprised at no Office or Extras. Out of those though, Peep Show.

I voted Horizon even over Peep Show because I LOVE Horizon so much. That Reality episode freaked me out, I lay in bed after thinking about all the quarks around me =\

As a Brit, all I'll say is that the only ones that deserve to be up there are Peep Show and maybe Horizon.

Anyone who isn't British will not understand The Mighty Boosh; I love it though and have the box set, easily the best.

Second is Only Fools And Horses.

I just finished watching Misfits. It's one of the better drama/comedy shows I've seen. Definitely better than Heroes in my opinion. Too bad I think it doesn't air here in USA :(

I'm going to have to go with none of the above, and substitute my own.

It's a toss up between-

Poirot - with David Suchet, and

Sherlock Holmes - with Jeremy Brett.

The only reason most non British don't like our comedy is because they hardly understand it.

Other or None of the Above should have been included with said poll. That said, Top Gear.

Peep Show is by far the lolziest comedy, next to The Inbetweeners (which despite being a 'teen comedy' is pretty damn hilarious).

Doctor Who... well, it's entertaining, but also extremely silly and tbh the canon bores me. The best thing about the show is the Doctor himself.

Horizon has a habit of taking extremely interesting questions/ideas and turning them into boring shows. The BBC has always done nature documentaries far better.

As for drama, meh. America is where the good drama shows are at (and I'm British).

Well, my bf and I have been watching Spooks/MI-5 and are enjoying the awesomely silly spy drama, really fills the 24-shaped hole in our viewing habits. It's amazing how similar the show is to 24, and just as easy to watch while laughing at its ridiculous earnestness.
