I loved Bugs that was on BBC one, half way through one of the series they pulled the plug which wasn't fair. Also Tomorrows World was an interesting program I'd like to see back! Lisa x

oooooo when?

I really enjoyed a Channel 4 comedy last year about an Indian restaurant - it was called Meet the Magoons and had Hardeep Singh Koli (not sure about the spelling on that one). I tried to see if it was available as a DVD but no joy - so I'm guessing it got axed.

Anyone know?

It would be wrong (and actually impossible) but Yes Prime Minister was brilliantly written, I just wish something of that same quality could be written now and not have to be imported.

Probe. They only made 7 episodes back in the 80's, but those seven were fantastic.

I don't know whether I should make the gratuitous Friends comment here...

Invasion should never have been stopped after the first series. I miss my dose of Eddie Cibrian!

All Quiet on the Preston Front - about a group of Territorial Army members. It was sailing along on its 3rd (or so) series and it just stopped dead mid-series and never came back.

That annoys me as surely they could finish the series for the people who were into it! Lisa x

Futurama

The two that come to mind straight away are...

American - Firefly,: never given the chance to get going although it is just brilliant.

British - Crime Traveller: I really enjoyed this series and it was a real shame that BBC droped it cos the new person in charge didnt like it. Going by the stuff on the DVD they had some great ideas for the second series.

I could probably think of loads of others though..

oh and Wendy if you want more of Eddie Cibrian look you should see Third Watch, plays a frieman in that and we all know what effect rhat uniform seems to have on every woman lol!

Simon I presume you meant he plays a Fireman and not a Frieman? Some how I don't think a Friemans uniform would be quite so fetching. Lisa x

Futurama was axed in 2003 as the American audiences were too stoopid to appreciate the sheer brilliance of it.

A superb Channel 4 drama called "Psychos" starring the wonderful Dougie Henshall. It was the mental health equivalent of "Teachers" and it was my fave show of the last ten years. I seem to remember hearing that it was between that and "Queer as Folk" as to which got the money for a new series

Also "Teachers"....

Does anyone remember a comedy about a Scottish airline called Air Scotia? I think the show was called the HIgh Life. It was outstanding.

I loved that - it starred the fabulous Alan Cummings who has since taken the US by storm
