Hunted is very good - I get most of my UK programmes through TheBox.biz (via Vuze).

I enjoyed the first 2 series of Strike Back, but series 3 (Vengeance) is getting a bit too silly.

There's a new series called Secret State with the excellent Gabriel Byrne that looks promising.

Dan Snow's 'The History of Railways' is a superbly produced series showing the socio-economic impact in the days of early railways. It's brilliantly produced and hugely informative. Definitely worth downloading.

Another series that we've just started to watch is ITV's Mr. Selfridge. Hooked already, as he's getting into a spot of bother... I'm getting serious withdrawal symptoms waiting for the next series of Downton Abbey.

Agree with the Railway history thing, but how you can mention Selfridge in the same post as Downton Abbey is beyond me, VS! :shock: :tsk: The American who plays the title role is a deplorable actor. :(
And although it's based on a true story, it's a pretty obvious rip-off of "The Paradise", which was much better.
:cheers: :D

Jeremy Piven is the actor who plays Selfridge,not his best work but he's great in the HBO series Entourage as agent Ari Gold. :cheers:

It's a bit old now, but just got around to watching series 3 of Homeland, IMO it got better as each episode went on and the last few we're really good. By the look of it, there will be a 4th series to follow.
