Hi! I was wondering if someone could recommend some quirky, tongue-in-cheek type tv shows from the UK. Not too long ago I watched Being Human, and I loved it. At the moment I discovered a show called Secret Diary of a Call Girl, which is hilarious and also rather interesting.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I really enjoyed My Mad Fat Diary (It's a little on the dramatic side and demographic is towards teenagers but it sends a good message overall) Love it!
