Programmes of the 1970s and 80s broke moulds and scarred minds. Better that than endless reality shows and Downton-esque drama, says Rob Young, author of The Magic Box
Funny, as a non-Brit I find current TV better than the older stuff I know. Neither Dr Who nor Little Britain were ever my cup of tea and as much as I like Monty Python, I can’t imagine to ever binge that because after a while it’s too weird for me.
OTOH I like Taskmaster, Cats Does Countdown, The Lazarus Project, and Slow Horses a lot. Does Ted Lasso count? That’s great, too.
