I am a big Eastenders fan but as they are over 2 years behind here - I had a bit of a wait to see episodes I hadn't already seen.
Always watch Graham Norton and Top Gear on BBC Canada too.
I also enjoy Dr Who and Torchwood on the Space channel - roll on the new Doctor!
Masterpiece classic also show some good drama such as Cranford and Little Dorrit.
Looking forward to the Grand National tomorrow which is on CBC in the afternoon.

Yes ChezG, I think Coronation St. is about a year behind here. I like the Masterpiece Theatre too, they do get good shows on. There is a Canadian show I like, The Murdoch Mysterys, kind of like a Sherlock Holmes but in Toronto.

That Benny Hill is very funny. Some people like Monty Python but again it's got that very dry British humor. And then there's that Mrs. Bucket show, that has to be the best thing on tv, although I have a hard time understanding the fat redneck man.

Yes it is funny but it is a comedy drama so serious as well... dont want to say too much in case you watch it.
It just finished on ITV so not on Canadian TV...yet...I got it from a british tv torrent site and it was great!
Also check out 'Misfits' its like the british version of Heroes but with chavs!

Is that a typo?!?
I try and watch MOTD on Saturday night as well (but mostly don't get to see it 'til Sunday) Not quite the same as watching it at home with beers and a takeaway curry though is it? I'm usually bent over my PC screen although now I've started sticking the avi files onto a CD or DVD (or even a memory stick) and watching them on the TV

Someone in the canteen has just been telling me about a comedy prog called Mrs Brown which she watches on YouTube. Apparently it's British and funny. Is this true?

I enjoyed "Being Human," (torrent) on UKnova.
I'll give that

But the local library has lots of DVD collections of British shows - from Frost, Morse, Hornblower, Foyles War, through to I Claudius.

I used to like Robin's Nest when I was a kid. Its a shame they don't situation comedies like that anymore. Pure gold.

There are many excellent dramas and comedies from BBC but what I enjoy most are the documentary programmes that, by virtue of their content, will have limited audiences. Beeb explores subjects that commercial TV will not because the return on investment would be negative.
