I thought I’d make a list of Britcoms and other British series I like, with a short description. Here you go!
Absolutely Fabulous – silly fun, two women who never grew past the 1960s
After You’ve Gone – is good, but not as good as My Family for dysfunctional family
‘Allo ‘Allo – a bit odd, set during WWII
Are you Being Served – the epitome of Britcom for me
As Time Goes By – My parents story, or pretty close. Judi Dench is awesome.
Ballykissangel – Irish town meets English priest. Hilarity ensues.
A Bit of Fry and Laurie – Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. Nuff said.
Black Adder – Rowan Atkinson at his sarcastic best
Black Books – a horrible Irish man runs a book store, but hates EVERYONE. Think Basil Fawlty in a London bookstore.
Brother Cadfael – lovely historical mysteries with Derek Jacobi
The Celts – Documentary that made Enya’s music famous
Chef! – you thought Gordon Ramsay was bad?
Coupling – Like Friends, but funny and with more sex.
Doctor Who – No description needed
Doc Martin – a country doctor afraid of blood, and no social skill whatsoever
Father Ted – bumbling Irish priests on a small island.
Fawlty Towers – John Cleese. Nothing more needed.
French & Saunders – Vicar of Dibley meets AbFab
Good Neighbors – a young(ish) couple decide to live off the land – while living in the suburbs.
Hamish MacBeth – Dr. Rush from SGU is a cop in the highlands of Scotland. With an attitude.
Hotel Babylon – 5 Star hotel in London – the inside view
Horatio Horn blower – History on the High Seas
I, Claudius – Derek Jacobi again, fantastic series of ancient Rome.
Jeeves and Wooster – More Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry
Keeping up Appearances – Mrs. Bucket (pronounced boo-KAY!) wants to be seen as posh.
Little Britain – Silly, toilet humor for the very British. Narrated by Tom Baker
Lovejoy – Antique dealer/rogue
Last of the Summer Wine – A group of old men try to have fun in their autumn days
Michael Palin’s travel vids – He brings travel to life
Monarch of the Glen – My favorite series ever. Highlands of Scotland.
Monty Python’s Flying Circus – true silliness as only the Brits can do it.
Mr. Bean – Sort of a BritMime
My Family – Dysfunctional family – hilarious
One Foot in the Grave – Old man complains about forced retirement to anyone who will listen
Outlander – not a Britcom, but a show definitely worth watching! British WWII nurse goes back in time 200 years in Scotland
Outnumbered – a family with three children, too smart for their parents!
Red Dwarf – Space Britcom with human cats
Rosemary and Thyme – Two gardeners find lots of murderers.
Roar! – Celtic historical – sort of (Heath Ledger)
Rome – great rendition of Julius Caesar’s time (not British, but had to be included)
Sharpe’s series – fantastic series of Napoleonic wars (Sean Bean)
Shaun the Sheep – claymation, very funny
Sherlock Holmes – any version will do.
Slings and Arrows – OK, it’s Canadian, not British. But great show about a Shakespearean group!
The I.T. Crowd – IT geeks vs. the world.
Thin Blue Line – More Rowan Atkinson – as a cop, this time.
Torchwood. – Chasing aliens in Cardiff
The Tudors. – Another great historical series (mostly)
Vicar of Dibley – hilarity from Dawn French as a female vicar in a very small town
Waiting for God – Fantastic! Sarcastic wit and silliness
Yes, Minister – amusing, not required, Britcom about the Prime Minister
The Young Ones – early Britcom silliness
There are others I have come across, others I haven’t seen, etc.
Don’t miss information on Celtic myth and history, as well as practical travel planning tips, and hidden places, in my travel books. And watch out for my upcoming historical fantasy novel, Legacy of Hunger!

Celtic Fairies, Fables, and Folklore! Bestselling author (top #100 Amazon Canada, #1 in Paranormal Fantasy, Amazon Canada) Christy Nicholas, also known as Green Dragon, is an author, artist and accountant. After she failed to become an airline pilot, she quit her ceaseless pursuit of careers that begin with 'A', and decided to concentrate on her writing. Since she has Project Completion Disorder, she is one of the few authors with NO unfinished novels. Christy has her hands in many crafts, including digital art, beaded jewelry, writing, and photography. In real life, she's a CPA, but having grown up with art all around her (her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are/were all artists), it sort of infected her, as it were. She wants to expose the incredible beauty in this world, hidden beneath the everyday grime of familiarity and habit, and share it with others. She uses characters out of time and places infused with magic and myth. Combine this love of beauty with a bit of financial sense and you get an art business. She does local art and craft shows, as well as sending her art to various science fiction conventions throughout the country and abroad.
