I love the inbetweeners, X Factor, and I also got into Come Dine with Me! when my boyfriend was at work and I was flipping through the channels.

We don't really watch a lot of television, but I'm a big fan of Come Dine with Me, anything with Ray Mears, and Dragon's Den.

My favourite is Father Ted (although I suppose that's Irish and not UK) and sticking with the Graham Linehan trend, IT Crowd and Black Books are wonderful.

I also like watching Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, Green Wing, Peepshow and Little Britain

I'll admit that I don't have a TV at the moment which is why most of my favourites are shows that aren't making new episodes anymore!

We don't have Sky and our freeview is very temperamental but I love "Have I Got News For You" and "Horrible Histories".  LOL

QI, Top Gear, and Doctor Who for me. I keep putting myself on the waiting list to be in the audience but thus far I haven't made it past the "pick a date but don't call us, we'll call you" stage.

A friend managed to get tickets for QI, but they massively overbook the tickets for each show, so we got there a bit late due to work and were moving up in the queue only to be sent home.

But it's all okay in the end since I still saw Stephen Fry in a pharmacy once... while I was buying support stockings for my grandmother. heh [smiley=blush.gif]

I saw Stephen Fry this week at the Royal Albert Hall. :) More expensive than in a pharmacy, but probably more fun/less embarrassing as well.
