No Angels, no one I know has ever heard of it never mind watched it.

[Fayecorgasm]

I liked Making out to with margie clarke and keith allen

[TheBilly]

Northern Exposure. No one I knew watched it.

[OGB]

Arrested Development! Cannot wait til it comes back on Netflix next year.

[feckit]

Manchild (2002–2003)

Outlaws (2004)

[DratVanity]

X-Fire (pronounced cross fire)

Okay, so it was a silly paint-balling show on Channel 4 weekdays at 6:00pm. But I swear, if it was put on BBC 1 Saturday nights, it'd be a goer. It'd be on its tenth celebrity series. You get involved, you want the team to succeed in the challenge...but watching the players get hit and "act" their death is never not funny.

Except I seem to be the only person on the planet who remembers this programme.

This is the best comedy made by the Yanks ever. I still can't quite believe they managed to make something so fantastically funny and clever. It is on Netflix now. I watched some the other day. I really hope they make the oft touted film.

I also agree with those who have mentioned The Riff Raff Element, Making Out, Beautiful People (brilliant show!) and Northern Exposure - although I'm not sure that one could be called under rated as lots of people I know watched and loved it.

I used to love a program (can't remember what it was called) about teams of 2 that had to kind of go on the run for a week with a tracker tailing them. They had to do certain tasks during the week and then on the Sunday spend the hour duration of a live show hiding in a phone box hoping not to be found in order to make it through to the next week. I always wanted to go on it.

I also loved The Palace. A fictional version of our royal family. It was panned but I thought it was great!

[2-Pot Screamer]

Early Doors, and Pulling.

So different, but both brilliant...

Scottish comedy at its best. Cut down in its prime by BBC schedulers putting it on at a different time each episode and eventually consigning it to the grave yard slot, post 11.30 on a Sunday night.
A Scotish friend of mine tells me that they think it was because the writers refused to anglicise the dialogue.

Compounded by the fact that when it started it wasn't fully networked.The idea was actually offered to the BBC before Granada but the BBC never replied to Tony Warren.If they had history might have been different

true,ITV would have come up with a rival soap set in an East End square

Good call.

No Angels was a fantastic show that deserves to be seen by a lot more people than orginally watched it.

A good series!

Jo Joyner (now better known as Tanya in 'Enders) was good in this, too.

Good calls from previous posters re Making Out, and Bodies

[essexpete]

just remembered Alan Davies com-drama A Many Splintered Thing hope it gets a DVD release I missed the last episode

[ilovewallander]

Totally agree about Making Out. Why hasn't it been released on dvd??? Also agree that Absolutely, Dear John and Colin's Sandwich were underrated.

I want to add:
All Quiet on the Preston Front
Watching
Shine on Harvey Moon
Between the Lines
A show from the late 90's on BBC2 called The Cops.

[vidalia]

Taking Over The Asylum was an incredibly good black comedy drama, a six part series from 1994 starring Ken Stott and a very young David Tennant in his first TV role. It was about a hospital radio station in a psychiatric hospital. It's available on DVD from Amazon for a fiver - I'd highly recommend it.

Arrested Development is one of the most critically acclaimed and praised shows of the last 10 years.

[the gold room]

Fantasy Football League (BBC2 mid 90's). Not many people seem to have heard of this despite it being mainly about the premier league and featured various celebreties.

Sons and Daughters. (Aussie soap 80's) Much better than Eastenders and Corrie

[far2cool]

Lead Balloon was a very underrated sitcom

I used to love Fantasy Football League! Frank Skinner and David Baddiel with Statto in his dressing gown

Do you remember Standing Room Only presented by Simon O'Brien? I seem to remember Shelley Webb was a reporter on it too. That show was underrated. BBC2 had a couple of really good football shows there.
