THE AVENGERS - Must See TV
The show is described as (on IMDb) 'A quirky spy show of the adventures of an eccentrically suave British agent and his predominately female partners.' and I think this describes it perfectly.
It keeps true to its time and stays up-to-date with all the latest technology at the time and would've blown minds when it aired. It also had amazing at the time, including, Patrick Macnee, Diana Rigg and Honor Blackman.
The first episode was the pilot called 'Hot Snow' which is about the main character's (Dr. David Keel, acted by Ian Hendry) fianncé and Surgery Receptionist is murdered by a drug-dealing gang and so Dr. Keel teams up with John Steed (Patrick Macnee) and with John's help, they attempt to catch the gang leader, Spicer, who gets away but caught in the second episode.
IMDb: 8.4/10
My rating: 8.5/10

BBC1 CRIME DRAMA CUFFS
Cuffs is a crime drama that aired on BBC1 mostly at 8:00 pm unless something was scheduled for then. It was received by the public quite well, and proof of this is when it got canceled, people made petitions to get it back.
It was filmed in Brighton, noted in the title sequence at the end where it has the edge of the Brighton Pier sign. I believe that it is used to show the diversity of Brighton. This belief is backed up by the constant scenery of different ethnicities such as the shopkeeper and family. It has also got some stag nights and student parties.
Ofcom regulates what goes before and after watershed and people had often made the point that it should be in the watershed hours but it can be argued that the violence isn't explicit, the language seems to be at a lower level than thought, there is a small amount of nudity but it shouldn't be sexualized and self-harm isn't glorified but glamourized.
IMDb rated it 7.4/10 (a very deserving rating) and has left some viewers highly satisfied.
