    Lost- thought every episode was a belter ..even though not a lot of it made any sense!

    It pretty much all made sense. Happy to field any questions you may have.
    What product did Hurley use in his hair and where can I buy some ? ;-)

    Breaking Bad - am only 6 episodes in to it

    Sopranos - never watched

    Game of Thrones - see what the fuss is


    This Life - the series of the 90's for me.

    The complete works of Alan Partridge

    Ray Mears Extreme Survival - obvious reasons.

    you need to get out less!

  • To be honest I could make up my 5 out of political stuff alone:
    The West Wing - lots of lovely dialogue and a US President that isn't a total nutter
    Yes (Prime) Minister - nostalgia mainly, but so much of it is still so so appropriate
    The New Statesman - Rik Mayall at his sneering best
    The Thick of It - for inspiration when I need to swear at the frustrations of being stuck on a desert island by myself
    House of Cards (US) - not seen it yet, but everyone I know who has raves about it.

  • Breaking Bad - Simply the best!
    Poldark - The original and infinitely better 70's adaptation.
    Life on Mars
    Shogun
    Fistfull of Dollars/Few Dollars More/TGTBTU - Clint's spaghetti western trilogy - my daughter as a precocious 8 years old begged me to let her watch one with her one night when Mum had gone to bed.
    It was such a sweet and precious time and we ended up watching them all over a few days.
    She still talks about it now. Nice memories.

    That trilogy would be worth it for Good Bad Ugly on it's own without the other two. Cinematic story telling at it's very best.
