British cinema is a definite mark of quality. TV series made in Great Britain are distinguished by a non-trivial plot, a special atmosphere and inimitable English humor, which is present not only in comedies, but also in detective stories, historical projects and even thrillers. Every detail is paid attention to in these series, and the acting, the director's vision and talented camera work turn British projects into true masterpieces.
Doctor Who, 1963 - 2005
The series is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest running sci-fi series in the world. But the long term is far from the greatest advantage of Doctor Who. He became a whole Universe with many events, characters and worlds. Unfortunately, some series of the classics have not survived even in the original language, but the remaining series are quite enough to appreciate the beauty of Doctor Who from the first episodes to the “new school”.
Monty Python's Flying Circus, 1969 - 1974
The anthology of humorous sketches by the Monty Python group is remarkable not only for its inimitable humor. It was in honor of this project that the Python programming language got its name, and the English word spam, resulting from the abbreviation of the phrase spiced ham (canned sausage mince), acquired a new meaning - extremely intrusive advertising. And mass unsolicited e-mails were later referred to as spam. Monty Python's Flying Circus is the ultimate British humor.
"Fools are lucky", 1981 - 2003
The British sitcom has become the perfect combination of great humor, uncomplicated, in general, plot and amazing acting. All together turns into a truly brilliant creation that will make you smile and give thousands of shades of emotions and feelings.
Poirot, 1989 - 2013
The idea of filming the series based on the cycle of works of the same name by Agatha Christie came from the daughter of the writer Rosalind Hicks. This project has become a cult project in the UK and one of the best and most loved TV series in the world. It is worth noting that the leading actor David Suchet not only re-read the works of Agatha Christie before filming, he played his character with his family in order to feel his character and adopt manners in the smallest detail.
Jeeves and Worcester, 1990-1993
The series is not in vain called one of the best TV series of the twentieth century. It combines a fascinating scenario, a confrontation between two very different characters in temperament and an abundance of English humor. Without exaggeration, it can be called the standard of film adaptation, when not only the plot and characters, but also the general atmosphere of the book are accurately transferred to the screen. It was filmed based on the works of Pelam Woodhouse.
Downton Abbey, 2010 - 2015
The series can be called a masterpiece without any exaggeration. It is not only the combination of music, color, plot, humor and acting that is beautiful in it. It strikes the viewer's imagination episode after episode and touches the most sensitive strings of the soul, making them cry and laugh with the characters, empathize, hate, love and look forward to watching the next episode.
Black's Bookstore, 2000 - 2004
The British sitcom consists of only 18 episodes, divided into three seasons. But, starting to watch it, it will be simply impossible to tear yourself away. The viewer will laugh to tears at inimitable jokes and enjoy the relationship of the trinity of the main characters: the owner of the bookstore Bernard Black, his assistant Manny Bianco and the saleswoman from the neighboring bookstore Fran Katzenjammer. Black's Bookstore is considered one of the most successful sitcoms in the world.
Probably, in the life of every person, sooner or later, there comes a period when you want to change something in your life, look at the world from a different angle, or find your own cure for blues and despondency. Just something and you need to watch a good series and project someone else's experience onto yourself.
