I agree! Rumpole forever!

Rumpole was so much better than your typical American lawyer show. Leo McKern, with his hound dog looks and razor wit was perfect for the part.

Was always a big fan of Inspector Morse. So much so that I read some of the books. Certain different than Rumpole but just as wonderful.

I also loved the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes. For me, he was Holmes. I had thought no one could better Basil Rathbone but Brett did. And he was far better than anyone else who portrayed him on tv, especially the woefully miscast Matt Frewer. (Max Headroom in a deerstalker)

Then there was Blackadder
And Monty Python
And Benny Hill (Yes, I know, but I still loved it)
And Kenny Everett (see above)
And Miss Marple
And As Time Goes By
And A Fine Romance (basically anything with Judi Dench, who is soooo absolutely wonderful)
And Upstairs, Downstairs
And O Claudius (and anything else with Derek Jacobi)
And The Duchess of Duke Street
And more...

And the greatest of all: PRIME SUSPECT with the splendid Helen Mirren

What's not to love?
