Guest Soeziegoezie Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 So what happened to Spooks then Suzie It was a difficult choice to make: EastEnders or Spooks But if it would've been a Top 6, Spooks would've definitely made it!

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 1. Johnny Jarvis 2. Cracker 3. One Summer 4. Made in Britain 5. The Prisoner Some of the old Play For Today stuff was good. There was one called The Flipside of Dominic Hyde about a guy who goes back in time to meet his grandfather, meets a girl instead, shags her and becomes his OWN grandfather. Caroline Langrishe is the damsel in question and ye get tae see her in a small bikini. Exceelent stuff! Oh aye, and I thought This Life was an unmitigated pile of arty-farty w**k. Just didn't like it at all and they all needed a good boot up the arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Assassin Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Ye cannae beat Band Of Brothers. I know it features mostly Americans but the BBC had a hand in producing it. Top quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
