Spaced looks good, also need to look into Mighty Boosh some more. Any others that really stick out?
Mighty Boosh is great. Other ones you could look out for Ideal (Johnny Vegas), Peep Show and older stuff like League of Gentlemen, Pheonix Nights etc. Also see if you can watch Have I got News For You and QI on BBC Iplayer, they're both good.

I'm currently rewatching old episodes of Shooting Stars!

I really liked Extras as well, good british comedy with hollywood actors that guest star in every episode and sort of make fun of themselves, it's great.

My wife and I have found ourselves watching this the past few Sunday nights :D Not very deep but the visual quality is wonderful and the story is kinda fun.

Yeah...it's not bad. The source material (The novel 'Wizard's First Rule' and the following books) is WAY WAY better and far more badass.
Those books are just shockingly awful, haha.

I rather really enjoyed the first five of em. Book 1 is one of my favorite books ever. After Book 5 they did go downhill pretty fast though.

Now that I think about it, the first one wasn't so bad. Best of the bunch by far.

Update: Got the Wire 5 Series boxset, seen the first 4, about to start the fifth. I saw our local boy Louis Theroux go to Philly's corners. Seems like a carbon copy of Baltimore's corners. Its nice to see the US Govt looking after its inner cities :D
EDIT:- Finished watching all series of The Wire. Some good acting from Royo (Bubbles), Bunk and Omar. Other than that, the director's insistence that 'everyone in the game has to die' went a bit too far and they lost sight of the fact that its still a TV show not a Documentary - killing off the anti-hero was the nail in the coffin for me :? .

Update: Did manage to get hold of The Fantastic Journey Series 1977 and Logan's Run Series 1977. Both are excellent.
