There are so many I haven’t watched yet. Thanks to The Guardian’s great list from two years ago I can see I have many hours of TV still ahead of me. Shows from that list (and my own head) which I haven’t watched yet are:

Sons of Anarchy
Brideshead Revisited (I’m particularly annoyed with myself at this one – I’ve watched all of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which I hated, and yet I haven’t watch something I know I’ll love? Sort yourself out, me)
A Very Peculiar Practice
Talking Heads
Boys from the Black Stuff
How Do You Want Me?
Smiley’s People
House of Cards
Bodies
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (another one I’ll probably love, I’m sure)
Pennies From Heaven
The Monocled Mutineer
Jewel in the Crown
Band of Brothers
Hill Street Blues (this is all currently on 4oD, which I’m excited about)
The Prisoner
St Elsewhere
The Big C
American Horror Story
The L Word
The Shield
The Bleak House
