I'm a big fan of Joad Cressbeckler. I find that his hard-hitting, straight-talking journalism really resonates with my inner grizzled prospector.

In all seriousness, I would totally watch Fox News if they gave the JC his own show.

I love PG Wodehouse. I've got five or six of his books on my bedside table alone.

Difficult one for me as I don't watch TV that much anymore.

But in no particular order:

Numb3rs
NCIS: Los Angeles
The Wire
Red Dwarf
There was a programme back in the eighties on the Beeb, can't remeber the name - The premises was a group of people escaping from a hunter team solving various intellectual and physical puzzles to do so.
Blackadder

Honourable mentions to NCIS, Burn Notice (what I'm currently watching), South Park, The Young Ones, Band of Brothers (the books relating to Easy Co. are better though).

Whch means I have not watched much TV lately.

I only turned on the TV twice in the last week. For Two hours on Monday, and Two hours on Friday.

A few years ago it would have been: (in no order)

X-Files

1. X-Files
2. Twin Peaks
3. South Park (although the series has lost a bit of its originallity the last couple of years I think they are heading in a good direction now)
4. Modern Family (thank you for a comedie series with no "studio audience")
5. Ultimate Survival/Man vs. Wild

1. South Park - No other show has made me laugh this much, they speak their minds and really don't care about all the red tape present in society today. I'm actually surprised they got away with quite a of the episodes. I don't believe it's gone downhill at all, just adapted over the years to not be the same thing over and over.

2. Game of Thrones - Not only was my favourite actor ever in this (Sean Bean), but the plot, acting, directing and the environments are just spectacular. I truly can not wait for the second season to arrive, I have never been more excited about a programs return. After a few good seasons, this could easily take my no.1 spot.

3. The Walking Dead - A very good post-apocalyptic series. It's not quite as good as Game of Thrones in the acting/directing/etc. department, but their is a lot more character development which is nice. Also theor have been some proper cringy, and adrenaline inducing moments throughout both seasons.

4. Doctor Who - I don't know what it is about this show, but I love it. I think the eccentric Doctors make it what it is, their companions have also always fitted perfectly with them. Very easy to watch, and good to chill out to... it's also British.

5. I'm not sure what to put here: Sherlock Holmes, Supernatural, Burn Notice and Psych are all pretty good... NCIS to for that matter.
