Our Friends In The North (bit preachy-lefty, but still..)
Traffic
GBH
The Monocled Mutineer
A Very Peculiar Practice (I agree that it's comedy-drama, but it's brilliant, and makes me wish that Andrew Davies would get back to writing originals rather then adaptations.)
A Very British Coup
Love On A Branch Line - delightful adaptation
A Very British Marriage - Finney, Courtenay & Lumbley - great stuff.
This Life - not including the awful reunion, but was in its own little way quite ground-breaking. Sometimes too bloody pleased with itself, but well-written and quite compelling.
Cold Comfort Farm - another adaptation, of course, but a brilliant cast and an example of the BBC doing a one-off drama so well if they put their minds to it.
Cracker
State Of Play
Red Riding - getting some love (see below. I didn't watch this.)
Oh, and Porterhouse Blue - C4's adaptation the best Tom Sharpe brought to screen as yet.
One of the worst?
The House Of Elliot - dreadful beyond words, though with a tasty lead actress in it.
