Lets see now...
I am just doing my annual rounds of classics ...
By the time I am done them...it usually takes a few years ...
Then I start all over again...
Because I have usually forgotten the first ones by then.
Lets see...a starting point...
Last summer I started watching...(because I can't recall what I watched before last summer off hand)

Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell series...(Damn it is a good series)
Then the entirety of the Doctor Who Series ..
Starting from the very first episodes...in anticipation of the new Doctor ..in the new season coming...(Great disappointment ..terrible acting, plots, pretty much everything...doctor is on life support now I think...)
Finished up around Christmas .
Then it is a break for the round of critical Christmas films.
A Christmas Carol (Alistar Sims of course)
Its a Wonderful Life
A Christmas Story
And sundry animated films such as the original grinch who stole christmas etc...

After Christmas ..
Then it was the Space 1999 series..(always loved the chic 1970-esque ambience of it...and the plots and science and practicality of the science made me chuckle too...)
Then it was Star Trek the original series.
(I tend to stay away from the follow up series ...)
Then Andromeda series (meh...it had a few good premises ...but slouched somewhere along the way I think...)
Then it was Black Adder series (Always a good choice)
Then Black Books series. (Fabulous series)
Then it was Children of the Stones series...(another Kneale extraordinaire)
Then it was Ace of Wands series...
Then Monty Pythons Flying Circus series ..
Followed by Fawlty Towers series...(naturally)
West Country Tales (very good) series..
And there are a few more Brit series that are quite fabulous (I need to rewatch "Shadows" got to remember)

Of course I balance out series with a few Film series as well ...and the odd one off film...
Or I may watch a genre of films for a while....

Right now I am about half way through the entirety of the Quatermass films (Best super hero out of Britain..Professor Quatermass ) love the films. (yet another Kneale extraordinaire)
I am just about to start watching the Quatermass "Ringstone Round" episodes...
Then an about face from Britain for a bit ..
And it will be time to dive into the Kolchak the Night Stalker series...
Well done that one ...(the lead played by the father from Christmas Story...)
And that should bring me up to Easter...
And so it is time for classic films again..
Spartacus, Ten Commandments, etc.
Finishing with Robet Graves series Claudius (hardly Easter material...but once on the Classical film train ...concerning the old world ...it is hard to get off...)
Then it should be time for James Bond...
After that...
I am not sure yet.

I will keep it open for a while until I decide..
