The Line of Duty thread got me thinking about this. Any programmes which are, or were, quite big and had a lot of exposure, but you just never watched at all, and you don't know anything about. Here's a few of mine
Line of Duty Game of Thrones The Wire Breaking Bad Seinfield Casualty
There's probably more

Here's a few of mine Funnily enough, my list is identical to yours with the exception of Casualty which the wife watches, usually when we are sitting down to eat (or some gory forensic drama series like Waking The Dead or Silent Witness). There are also a few which nearly slipped under my radar until someone told me to watch the repeat as it was up my street. LOM is one example together with Our Friends In The North and The League of Gentleman.

I think with me, it was The Inbetweeners, which I know a few reading this have definitely watched, but it slipped under the radar for me.

Discovering or re-watching old shows & films is what interests me. I have tried to get into some of the US stuff of recent years, '24', 'The Wire', 'Breaking Bad' ( none of which are recent! ) but I'm just not into it.
Even 'Inside No.9', something I should like as I liked 'The League Of Gentlemen', I'm not enthusiastic about.
I think the only current programme I make a point of watching is 'This Time With Alan Partridge'. Another comedy I thought was good is 'This Country'.
Never watched 'Seinfeld' but I did like 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' starring the co-creator of Seinfeld, Larry David. One of the very few American comedies I've enjoyed.

Another one is Ackley Bridge Steed

I'm glad I've missed out on many films and tv series over the years. I listen to recommendations on this fine site as well as trying bits here and there. It's great when you discover something you like no matter how old it is and it fills the void left by todays rather bland offerings.
I tried the odd episode of Budgie years ago and it didn't really draw me in, the same with Citizen Smith but having watched them in order throughout I must say I really enjoyed watching them.
