There was a running gag a The Works about a girl who was socially ostracised for saying that The Wire was just a cop show. I am a big fan of CSI but The Wire is something else entirely. I came into it late, determined not to be taken in by the hype, but was gripped from the outset.

It is charming yet saucy, beautifully written, acted and shot. (I hope you've got the uncensored/unedited version - originally the series was broadcast by the BBC post-watershed. They repeated the series in a Sunday afternoon slot. Not much is cut - mainly some polite nudity, but they also shortened the episodes a little bit. It looked like they broadcast the version that would be suitable for American broadcast.)

I love The Lakes and found the cuckolding storyline quite a turn on. 
What does cuckolding mean...? :/

To be a cuckold. To be cheated on by one's spouse, more specifically one's wife. Usually whilst ignorant of the fact, but occasionally with full knowledge (and sometimes acceptance).
As in 'He is a cuckold', 'She cuckolded him', etc.
Ohhhhh.
Like adultery or summink. But a more fun word.

Yeah, sort of, but as I say the term traditionally is applied to men rather than women. And also being cuckolded sometimes implies that everyone knows about the adultery (and may be laughing behind the cuckold's back), except the poor chap concerned.

Hah.
I'm about fiftieth in line for that moniker.
(I know the word moniker!)

Aaaah, okay.
Interesting, this word lark, innit.
Moniker was good in Friends. (Even I can't believe I did that joke).
The problem with using the word moniker is that if you misspell it, it comes out Monkier.

Fiddle-faddle! Marc P and you are like the prom king and queen of BCG Writers!
Back on topic, I think RTD's Cassanova is worth mentioning. Great little show.

It's an old English word. Probably from when Chip was young.

I remember how evil the Chef was. And then he turns up in Corrie and Casualty as quite a gentle soul.

I liked his Jesus show too.
