True, almost all of it is commissioned. But it's the quality of content that you can't really find anywhere else.

If you are on twitter, I recommend having a look at the satire account, Elizabeth Windsor @Queen_UK, and looking back over her last few posts about EuroVision. Hilarious

Re: UK TV Programs

We enjoyed the first two series...the excellent Timothy Spall was in the first.

A U.S. version was made a few years ago. As usual they made a right pigs ear of a great English series...only one or two episodes were aired before it was canned.

Did it really need to come back that?

Home Fires, which has come to an end, as a 6 part series, was one of the best new shows we've seen. Nicely paced period drama.

Still one episode to come here in the UK, there wasn't one on Sunday night, postponed because of the BGT final.

Oh, I didn't realise it wasn't shown, we've been watching it on iPlayer about a week off pace.
