    Soccer AM had the "banter with the lads" vibe when I last watched it.

    I see where you're coming from OP and why you think the shows you've listed are more likely to appeal to women. I don't see why Gogglebox would appeal to one gender more than the other though.

    Family Guy is on BBC3, and Archer is on Channel 5 (usually at some
    ungodly hour). Also, in Ireland Vikings is shown on the main channel RTE.

    Since when has the Graham Norton show just been aimed at women or gay people?

    Get Netflix if you are struggling for ideas.

    I would recommend Breaking Bad..but then I'm a gay guy so maybe it wouldn't appeal to you. ;)

    There isn't much point for commercial TV to target men. Women control household spending and are therefore the valuable demographic.

    Surprisingly, Gay Netflix and Gay Sky have an alarmingly high number of straight men shows.

    Seems like you have three options:

    1) Get Sky
    2) Get out more
    3) Get a sex change.

    Truly amazing at how having a penis (supposedly) prohibits you from watching Downton Abbey!
