Will keep this open for another few days since the lists are coming in thick and fast (and I haven’t actually counted anything up yet :kink:)

September 16, 2024Sep 16

1. The Sopranos (The finest show ever created. Flawless from beginning to end)

2. Dark (Close run second place. Perfect storytelling)

3. Band of Brothers (One of the greatest achievements in TV history was creating a 10 hour long war movie that didn't feel like Hollywood nonsense)

4. Threads (It really did scar an entire generation. So many images are still seared into our brains)

5. Twin Peaks (At the birth of the '90s David Lynch re-wrote the rules of television. That he did so again 30 years later is incredible)

6. This is England (Like watching my childhood on the screen. I'm the same age as the lead character)

7. The World at War (Made so soon after the war ended that they were able to interview participants from all sides. It changed the way documentaries were made)

8. Cathy Come Home (Even now it still retains a heartbreaking power)

9. Top of the Pops (It didn't matter how much crap was going to be on it this week, you had to watch it)

10. Chernobyl (Chilling reminder of how perilously close to the edge we all were)

11. Fawlty Towers (Not a single line of dialogue is wasted. Perfect comedy)

12. Game of Thrones (Brilliant right up to the last series or two but the glory of its early years earns its place here)

13. The Twilight Zone (Ground breaking and still imitated to this day)

14. Brass Eye (Anyone who can show up Phil Collins for the fool he is, gets points in my book)

15. Star Trek (Fantastic cast, that lead the way with intelligent Sci-Fi that changed TV as we know)

16. Deadwood (The greatest western show of them all)

17. The Thick of It (So ridiculously on point it's almost not satire)

18. The Young Ones (The BBC's response to Channel 4's edgy programming was to hire the biggest names on the Alternative Comedy circuit and give them free reign. The result changed TV comedy forever.

19. Line of Duty (Incredibly well written cop show)

20. The Vietnam War (Ken Burns' masterpiece on the history of the Cold War conflict)

21. Battlestar Galactica (2004) (Modern updating of the cheesy Sci-Fi that plays out as a post 9-11 commentary)

22. Black Adder (From series 2 up to 4 this was exceptionally well crafted comedy. And THAT final scene!)

23. We Are All Going To Die (Korean Zombie series that never settles for the predictable)

24. Peaky Blinders (Oscar winning actor leads ensemble cast in riveting inter war drama)

25. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (Star Trek as an allegory for both the occupation of Palestine and the Holocaust and it never takes sides. If only that first season didn't suck so hard)

26. Doctor Who (Long lived and often utterly brilliant and very British show that can be frustratingly bad at times too. It's rich history aids its reputation)

27. Green Wing (One of the best 21st century comedies)

28. Squid Game (Inventive and interesting gameshow series)

29. The Civil War (Ken Burns' documents America's most traumatic period)

30. Spitting Image (Vital tv in the 80s. Forget the revival)

31. The Expanse (One of the most intelligent Sci-Fi series on Tv. Surprised it made it's full run)

32. Our Friends in the North (Brilliant historical drama with the talents of some of tv's finest actors of the time)

33. Les Revenants (French drama about the dead returning. Better than it sounds)

34. Life on Mars (Nostalgia as dramedy and Gene Hunt is one of the small screens greatest creations)

35. The Tube (If TOTP gave us the hits, The Tube gave us the music that mattered)

36. The League of Gentlemen (Subversiver, dark and brilliantly funny)

37. Penny Dreadful (An exercise is demonstrating why Eva Green is one of the finest female actors out there)

38. Monty Python's Flying Circus (Comedy would not be the same without them)

39. Grange Hill (My school years mirrored the show's greatest era. It felt like they were classmates at times)

40. The X-Files (Another ground breaking show that changed the way TV was made in the early '90s)

41. What We Do in the Shadows (Vampires and Matt Berry. What more do you need. Plus I'm in love with Nadia...)

42. Black Mirror (More often brilliant than not, and even when not it's worth the time. White Bear is still my favourite)

43. Tiswas (The nerds watched Swap Shop. The rest of us had this little dose of anarchy every Saturday morning)

44. Star Trek: The Next Generation (After a shaky start the 2nd season really kicked off and that finale launched the end of season cliffhanger trope)

45. Live Aid (Nobody wanted to be anywhere but in front of the telly all day, that day)

46. Skins (A brilliant first two seasons seemed impossible to match. The next two actually managed it. Naomi and Emily may be among the best presented relationships on tv ever.)

47. Married... With Children (Fox TVs sitcom proved controversial and repeatedly complained about for its lack of wholesome family values. Something the US moral majority wouldn't stand for in the 80s. Then The Simpsons came and stole the premise but made it more palatable)

48. Lost (By turns brilliant and frustrating. Still worth the effort despite the damb squib ending)

49. Batman (Without Adam West I doubt I'd have the same fondness for Gotham's most messed up orphan. Colourful, crazy and ridiculous. Plus Catwoman...)

50. Roots (The moving story of Gambian teenager Kunta Kinte and his abduction and selling into slavery in the USA)
