Any great non-American TV shows?

Non American but in English still (so UK, Canadian, Aussie or the like)

I love shows like Dr. Who, Torchwood, Misfits, orphan black, Luther, Sherlock, continuum, spooks to name just a few.

Utopia was good, though not very many episodes per season, and only two seasons

Outlander is good too.

a reply to: CthulhuMythos

I do need to watch Outlander, although that is basically an American show, it's on TV here, but that's exactly the kind of show I was looking for!

Have you seen Humans?

The Kettering Incident was good.

ETA:
The OA. American, but off the grid

I like this show.

Intelligence.

Wish they had more than two seasons.

Liked.

This one too.

Both are Canadian if I'm not mistaken.

Red Dwarf if you can find it and need a laugh.
Period.

Humans was good.

Also an older one I enjoyed was Life on Mars if you want a non sci-fi show.

For comedy, little Britain is hilarious, and not just for British comedy in general.

If the only criterion you've got is "great", you're going to be spoilt for choice.
Sketch-shows, for example.
Here is an example from the Fast Show (this recurring character has psychological problems with the word "black").

Letter Kenny.

Ok here goes!

Monty Pythons Flying Circus

The Red Green Show

Father Ted

Last of the Summer Wine

Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes

Fry and Laurie's Jeeves and Wooster

and of course

Star Trek, all versions

Doctor Who, through David Tennent

Twilight Zone

Alfred Hitchcock Presents

Perry Mason

Just a few favorites there are many more especially British sitcoms which i find more funny then home grown stuff

Harry Enfield

The Goodies

Butterflies

Fawlty Towers

Wasn't Perry Mason American? At least I remember it from childhood as an import.

The Young Ones!

a reply to: DISRAELI

yeah it is! i know i was sopposed to stick to non American stuff! sorry to off topic

And if you're willing to extend yourself to great radio shows, you could look out old episodes of "I'm sorry, I'll read that again", which included John Cleese and the future "Goodies";
