      It’s not on very much these days but I quite like One Foot in The Grave. (see my answer to a previous question about being optimistic with a sense of realism – okay, Victor mybe has less optimism and more cynicism but he does have a bit of a sciency way of thinking).
      I also quite like things like Springwatch.

      My favourite show is Community, it’s an American sit-com set in a Community College (a sort of university, but more of a preparatory college for university.)
      On a science related note – any of Jim Al-Khalili’s (A physics professor from Surrey) documentaries on chemistry or physics are very good – and very accurate. You can check out some of his clips here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Jim+Al-Khalili&aq=f.
      Avoid anything by the man of long hair, Brian Cox. I saw the ‘wonders of the solar system’ recently. It may inspire a sense of wonder in science, if you didn’t have it already, but it probably won’t teach you anything. A humourous parody, for those who’ve seen it by BBC3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30ruBtLIvJM

      At the moment, my favourite TV shows would probably be Game of Thrones, Doctor Who and Being Human. I also really like How I met your mother, The 4400 and Battlestar Galactica. Guilty pleasures are Glee and One tree hill!

      I tend to avoid science TV programmes because I spend so much of my life doing science!

      At the moment it has to be glee, glee, glee. It’s so cheesy and cringe worthy that it’s actually quite good.
