Have I Got News To You... Love This show from last week
TV shows you love

I think it's worked as well as it can in its lockdown version. But can't this go in the existing TV thread?
-
Look at the title thread, I thought about it!

I'm sure but as you listed some recent HIGNFYs it just felt like what TV shows you've watched recently.
If it's meant to be the shows you've loved most I'd say The Wire, Broadchurch, The Singing Detective, Seinfeld, The Thick Of It.

I don't watch those shows you listed, but prefer comedy.. However, I do love Seinfeld

I meant to add in to all-time most loved, the one-off BBC drama series State Of Play, from the early 2000s. A really intelligent well-written media and politics drama.
No-one so far apparently has any love for factual shows. At its peak in the 70s to early 90s the BBC science documentary series Horizon was a great factual show that examined a wide range of topics. One episode in about 1978 was a huge influence on me. It meticulously looked at the absurd work of Erich von Dainiken and his preposterous claims that human civilisation has been helped along by visiting aliens. They interviewed him, allowed him to waffle on about his nonsense, then systematically took him apart, disproving one claim after another until he was red-faced and angry. I was 13 and already interested in science (I then studied it and worked in it) and it really taught me about analysing things and the use of evidence.
