I love British shows like Red Dwarf, The IT Crowd, Spy (2011), The Office, Bruiser and Blackadder. And I've already watched all the sketches on youtube with Rowan Atkinson. A new school year is here and I desperately need another British show. Help me, please!

Hmh, perhaps Little Britain? (As rude as hilarious...)
But make sure you get the UK version, not the US version 

Eventually everyone will support Johnlock.   Independent OSAJ Affiliate

... but there may be some new players now. It’s okay. The East Wind takes us all in the end.

If you like Ricky Gervais, you surely would like 'Life's too short'

I quite like "Come fly with me", the mockumentary comedy series with Matt Lucas and David Williams.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."

I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

"Spaced" is really funny. It's Simon Pegg and Nick Frost pre-Shaun of the Dead.

Just tea for me, thanks!

Spaced and Miranda look also promising thanks but I started with Hardware (I think we all know the adorable reason) and it's just perfect It reminded me of Black Books actually.

'Vicar of Dibley'? 'Outnumbered'? These shows are older and not on anymore but maybe out on DVD or Youtube....

And I said "dangerous" and here you are.

You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

There is a link to Sherlock in Miranda, well to Benedict. One of the characters is played by John Finnemore and he is the writer of Cabin Pressure (which Benedict is in) and he plays the dippy adorable Arthur in it too.

I enjoy Being Human (UK version of course). Don't take it too seriously - just have fun with it. It's wacky. I also don't mind certain episodes of Skins. 

When I was little, I used to watch reruns of Fawlty Towers. If you like school related dramas (think a UK version of Boston Public) - maybe check out Waterloo Road? I haven't seen too much of that one, though.

I want to watch Luther, Wallander, Game of Thrones and Merlin. Haven't seen any of those yet.
