What’s your boxset picks, you can have

1) A fiction/drama series

2) A comedy series

3) A documentary series

ONE OF EACH

I’ll go

1) The Sopranos (Close call with The Wire, but there’s more of The Sopranos

2) The Simpsons (Many other ‘better’ series, but, again, for combination of quality and quantity I can’t see past The Simpsons)

3) Natural World (again, there’s tonnes of them)

and I demand to have a copy of the finest film known to humanity and I demand it now! (Withnail and I)

As long as it’s the last copy known to man and you never bring the unfathomably overrated heap of $h!te back.

Difficult!

1) Sopranos (cos it’s the only series I’ve ever felt the need to buy on DVD)

2) Friends (not cos it’s the best, but cos I’m on a desert island and well, Jennifer Anniston, lots of. If I had a woman on the island I’d go for the Inbetweeners though cos its funnier)

3) Storyville

Band of Brothers

Frasier

Alan Titchmarsh – British Isles – A Natural History (yes, really 😄)

1) Mad Men

2) Northern Exposure

3) Something about Native Americans

3) Storyville

Ooooh, good shout. Loads of them too.

Frasier

Ditto

Better Call Saul (and ideally Breaking Bad as part of same world)

Father Ted (i have seen them all multiple times and it is the only series that has be laughing in advance of the joke coming)

Time Team – i absolutely love Time Team and i don’t know why…….

(Stealth addition)

Under “Comedy”, I can’t believe I forgot about Archer and Trailer Park Boys as possibilities.

IHN, Balls!

Line of duty

Morecambe and Wise

World at War

Stranger Things

Spaced (box set of all the series)

Not sure about a documentary series.

1: Breaking Bad

2: Flight Of The Conchords

3: The Blue Planet

Californication – hugely underrated imo

Blackadder

Planet earth

Firefly

Red dwarf

Planet earth 2 (this is the most difficult choice for me)

Edge of Darkness.

Porridge.

Civilization.

The Wire

Fawlty Towers

The World at War

Plenty of others I might have gone for but I’ve picked what I thought were not just as good as anything ever made but also consistently good and will or have stood the test of time.

Californication is a great shout. One of the best series ever written, acted, produced etc etc. It is so damn filthy and funny – not much tops it. Duchovny is bloody superb but there are other comic turns in it well worthy of accolade as well.

Band of Brothers (not my no.1 favourite series but I think it has the most replay value)

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (it was between this and Still Game but there is more episodes of these so better replay value)

Natural World (tough choice between this and The World at War, but volume won)

Hmmmnnn…

Drama. Those casting me away can choose between The X-Files, Twin Peaks, Taboo (hopefully I won’t be marooned until all three series are finished and available), Babylon 5, Hinterland, Buffy/Angel, and The Fades.

Comedy. Got to be unoriginal and go for Spaced too.

Documentary. The Complete Alice Roberts Collection.

Edge of darkness is superb!  I bought the dvd out of nostalgia a few years back and it is still great – Bob Peck was just an awesome actor….

Spiral

Father Ted

Blue Planet

Can we have some lectrishity, and the DVD player to play them on as well?

If not, I’d like a really shiny dvd to use as a sun magnifying tool so I can summon help from passing ships, and make fire from the sun.

The DVD player could be used as a draw for storing fish, dried fish.
