A fair bit - numerous decent specials (the most recent being Sunshine on the beeb), whatever the Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes team are up to, loads of people love Spooks, Top Gear, Nevermind the Buzzcocks, Peep Show... I could be here all day if I really thought about it.

Honey I Shagged The Sheep

Sheepwatch

Sheep Erotica

Top Sheep

Sheependers

Little Sheepie

Match of the Sheep

Sheepadder



NZ TV shows feature sheep far to heavily for my liking. Anyway, there are plenty of decent British TV shows (including some classics like Jeeves and Wooster, Yes Minister ..).

Flight of the Concords is amazing.

Most of the British stuff I watch are crime programmes like Silent Witness or Inspector Lynley ^.^

Antiques Roadshow is awesome too.

Edit: oh and Time Team.

Flight of the mother strawberry floating conchords... the best thing exported from NZ EVER!

our shows are hit and miss, a lot of people like doctor who and spooks, but i personally think they are gooseberry fool, I use to like shameless then it got gooseberry fool when james mcavoy left.

The only UK show i will watch every week without fail if it is on - PEEP SHOW.

Ive never even watched Flight of the Concords, ive never been bothered

You british do have quite good gameshows and reality shows (TopGear), but it sounds like no good other shows, whats spooks?

As for NZ tv

We have Flight of the Concords, Shortland street, errr, and lots of gameshows copied from you British, but with really boring hosts.

We have Moon TV as well, which was quite good, although this season finished now.

and thats all that really come to mind. we are like you British (not fat or smelly though) we dont have much good dramas

But aussie has a few good one
