Have you recently stumbled upon a programme you haven't seen before but think is awesome? Any hidden gems that noone else you know watches? We'll post them on here and share what you like about them.

I recently thought i'd give Dexter a watch. I heard it was good but have only just got round to watching it. It's about a blood splatter analyst/forensics guy for the Miami metro police depatment that moonlights as a serial killer. I've watched all 4 series in about 3 weeks. Im love it like vodka shots and jelly tots.

Without doubt the biggest hidden gem I've seen on TV has to be Firefly. If you haven't watched it, you haven't lived.

Actually a few of the classic eps are shown on Dave occasionally; that's how I discovered it. (They only tend to loop the same 10 or so episodes though)

Diagnosis Murder anyone?

Dick van Dyke is the shit. I do find it freaky that he's about 412 and he's not dead yet though.

I'm with Rayne and Matty. You definately haven't lived if you haven't seen Red Dwarf or Firefly.

I'd like to add Farscape to the list. Seriously, has anyone here even heard of this amazing sci-fi show?

Your from the US right?

Oh god I remember Farscape!! Used to be shown on the BBC after they stopped showing The Simpsons. Haven't seen it in years though...I remember there was some old turtle and there was a creepy wrinkly guy...

Oh yeah! All I remember from it though is the guy, the pilot alien, the dreadlock alien, the tiny robot and the pale alien girl.
