re.Eddington: Yes, (Prime) Minister is up there with M*A*S*H as one of the two best comedies of all time.

Both were superb.

Paul Eddington was excellent as the vicar in "Murder at the Vicarage", supporting Joan Hickson's Miss Marple.

Paul Eddington was excellent as the vicar in "Murder at the Vicarage", supporting Joan Hickson's Miss Marple.

Hickson the definitive Marple for me. Peerless. That BBC series had one of the iconic title sequences/themes for me as well.

The Fall A crime drama set in Northern Ireland. Giving it a binge watch, saw it originally on BBC2 a few years ago..3 series(17 episodes)

One of the more better & interesting home produced(with RTE) crime dramas.
John Lynch who plays a PSNI Chief looks a dead ringer for Eric Cantona.
