I well remember the chill I felt when that was broadcast, bringing to light our deepest fears of the time by showing what we could have to live and die through. There's a thread (sorry) right there for those of us over a certain age to think back to the days we all lived in nervous times knowing we could be a mere three minute warning from annihilation.

I was a complete nervous wreck when I was a teenager worrying about a nuclear attack after watching the QED The Guide to Armageddon when I was 12. CHILLING

Servalan for me

I would've expected to see some votes for The Killing. The first series at least is compulsive viewing.

Yes, I forgot to put it down!

Looney Tunes

 

[User169]

Most of the good stuff already mentioned, although a bit of a lack of non-fiction: Life on Earth and Shock of the New are deffo worth a mention.

Some personal faves: The Tripods, Diary of a teenage health freak and This Life (although the reunion was a mis-step).

Of recent stuff, The Thick Of It, for its sensational use of English.

Likewise, and I had never seen it before either. It is such a cliche, but it seems to me that the lucky ones were the people who were killed at the time or soon after.
