What a click-bait title this thread has!

^ Poor Seltzer has waited in vain until today, and given the unlikelihood of Urban returning to complete this thread, I though we remaining members might post our own suggestions for what Urban should've included here.

What are your fave Brit TV dramas?

I previously posted this in B&B game thread - this was before the convo got started here.

'The problem with that is UH excluded sitcoms which I would know more about. I would add Father Brown (2013) and The Prisoner (1967) other than that I really don't know any. The Avengers (1961) is another favorite but that is more action than drama. The Prisoner could be considered a dystopian drama. The Black Mirror could be thought of as a sci-fi drama I guess. Hmm too bad he never finished.'

^ Yep, The Prisoner was about the first prog that I thought of too. Such a stylish classic that it won't hurt to see the opening titles just one more time:-

I didn't know The Black Mirror was British, but then I've never seen any of it, having been warned about how confusing it is.

P.S: I don't think we should worry too much about distinguishing drama series from action series, as that line is often pretty blurred.

Got to include Broadchurch, the original House of Cards trilogy, The Onedin Line, Poldark, The Bill, Edge of Darkness, Doctor Who of course, The Tripods, The Fades, Class, Hope and Glory, Common as Muck as mentioned, Minder ... I'm sure there are literally hundreds more. Someone should take this over. Wish I could but, you know...

I'm thinking Series 4-5 (1965–1968) with Patrick Macnee & Diana Rigg. I mentioned The Avengers (1961) cause there is also the Marvel's The Avengers.
