Dr. Who
Torchwood
Copper
Ripper Street

Atantis - not the best but passible

They are going to have shows on Flemming and The Musketeers soon.

I don't take BBCA on my cable but somehow I can get BBCA on demand. If I am patient, I can still watch their shows, just delayed.

I'm waiting for the next series, as they've done their countdown which is usually leading up to the next new season/series.

Copper has been canceled, and while I did like it, I liked Ripper Street far more. Copper seemed to embrace the violence more than Ripper Street, though both don't hold back.

There are other series I'd like to watch, but are either already started, or I forget that they're on, and so, will just have to Netflix them later.

I agree that Ramsey is on too much, as in, he on at all! Can't stand that guy. Show more Dr Who instead!

Frankly, the cliché of Brit cultural and verbal superiority vs American-not is often striking. Some of us come across as dunderheads: Robert DOWNEY, Jr; the late whassisname from Easy Rider (will Edit when Google updates my brain) Dennis HOPPER. Otoh, the Brits do come across as craving American wealth and success, and also as Old World backward a bit: Once NORTON did a bit, walking in the street, and some people in the crowd actually panhandled him as his being famous and presumably rich.
