your suggestions accepted! ^_^
I'm going to make this a public post! :O
Basically, I'm looking for recommendations. TV programme recommendations!
I've just attacked the IMDb and made a hugely long list of things to get hold of but I was wondering what you would suggest I watch :)
Judging from the way I felt during studying Media, I am not a big fan of sci-fi. I do, however, seem ( Read more... )
Takin' Over the Asylum (Ken Stott and David Tennant and one of the best pieces of tv in the last 15 years)
Press Gang series 1-5 (though you should probably start with series 2. None of your favourites and it's technically a kids' programme, but so worth watching! And it's written by Steven Moffat, so what more needs to be said? :))
And while I'm on kids tv, Century Falls is fantastic and still sends shivers down my spine. Written by Russell T Davies.
A couple of others - if you want something to make you think and cry, Care, starring Steven Mackintosh. The first thing I watched on tv that made me sob my heart out. Definitely not easy watching. Same can be said for Hillsborough by Jimmy McGovern (the second thing I watched on tv that made me sob my heart out!). And finally, a drama set in a school - Hearts and Minds, also by Jimmy McGovern and starring Christopher Eccleston as a new, idealistic teacher in a city centre comprehensive. I haven't seen it since it was first broadcast, so maybe it's not as good as I remember it being, but I loved it.
And oh oh oh, how could I forget?! Our Friends in the North, starring Christopher Eccleston, Gina McKee, Mark Strong and Daniel Craig (in the role that first got him seriously noticed). I cannot recommend this highly enough - it even beats Takin' Over the Asylum. It's a long series, as it follows the four main characters over about 40 years or so, but it's totally fantastic!
