Top 10 British "genre" mini-series

Looking for something other than Football, Golf or Tennis to watch? Nothing over 6 eps and all from our fair isle.

10. Gulliver's Travels - stretching it a bit as it's a joint UK/US effort but it does feature all four voyages.
9. Jekyll RLS's novel as reworked by Stephen Moffat was surprisingly good.

8. Count Dracula from 1977 is one of the more faithful adaptations of Stoker's novel.

7. The Nightmare Man a great story shines through despite it's piddling budget.

6. The Last Train an interesting PA tale from ITV with enough moxie to have a grim ending

5. I Am Not An Animal animated comedy bout some experimental animals escaping to live "normal" lives in the burbs



4. Dead Set Charlie Brooker's zomcom can be watched on youtube here.

3. The Day of The Triffids the original version of Wyndham's novel had more tension than the recent remake and can be watched here.

2. Edge of Darkness the Gibson remake sheds the originals strange mystical & scifi elements.



1. Hitchhiker's Guide.. of course
