P refused to list his favourites by number so in no particular order:

The Avengers

Spaced

The X Files

Doctor Who

While my own list looks like this:

    I had trouble with the mid perios ones - I could list kids' ones for hours, but can't really remember secondary school, which is odd, as I watched a lot of tv.

    I've decided to write mine before I look at anyone else's so apologies for duplication. Again I can't do numbers so I suggest:

    Dr Who
    Fawlty Towers
    Father Ted
    The Prisoner
    The Simpsons (the funnier, earlier ones)
    Family Guy (ditto)
    Studio 60
    Futurama
    Stingray
    I'm Alan Partridge

    A lot of sci-fi and comedy. Wonder what that says about me? I do prefer to get my drama at the movies.
