Nope - Rescue Me - is the dogs bollocks...or at least the first 3 seasons were.

there's this show about a fella in a big floppy hat and long scarf who travels through time and space in a blue police box that you might like......

The Sopranos?
Band of Brothers?
The Wire?

I don't like those shows.

You're probably not alone, but to say they're "shite" is silly.

Not where I am looking from.

I quite liked Band of Brothers. Very well made for a TV series.

Okay, I admit I don't mind Family Guy.

Giggedy

I thought it was a cash in on saving private ryan. I watched one, but decided it would spoil the film (like the stargate series retrospectively made the film shite)

The Film With Me In It

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/a_film_with_me_in_it/

It's got absolutely nothing to do with Saving Private Ryan....
The only thing they share is that its set in WWII.

the wire is actually well done, at least the first season. I've been involved in many wire investigations and it was largely very accurate and is the first realistic cop show I've seen (at least for the most part). I was impressed that they even included the notion of live monitoring on public phones and resort to clauses - very important details that would be otherwise discounted and only noticed by coppers.

I also liked the bitter member who was only interested in where to send his over time claim - now that is realistic.

This thread got me thinking about what would be my favorite British film?....

....Now, after many sleepless nights and after much deliberation and soul searching, I think we have a winner....

....ladies and gentlemen, members of BE, I give you - my best British film of all time....

....drum roll....

great pick
