    Yes Minister is a fine call. It's less comedy than documentary given where we've ended up.

    Some cracking series already mentioned, and so, so many more out there!

    Just a reminder though, sitcoms already had their own rankdown a while back, so the likes of Dad's Army, Yes Minister, Still Game etc aren't going to feature this time. Sorry.

    I somehow missed out Prison Break in my first post, but I see it's in the list so that's all good!

    ;)

    If you like Sons of Anarchy (which I very much do) then Mayans MC was exactly the same show but with additional harsh language.

    And another one for the older contributors which I don't think has been mentioned:

    Callan ("...with Russell Hunter as Lonely.")
