Stephen Fry article - Spooks / Doctor Who

[JHyde]

To be fair, almost all of the dramas to which I was referring are made on pay TV in the US. But I selected them not for 'gritty realism' but rather for their topicality and ability to consistently touch an audience.

I awaited Spooks and Ashes to Ashes with bated breath and anticipation in much the same way I do these other shows. US TV does have more shows I want to watch at the moment and I think they've been more consistent, that was all I was trying to say.
