Your most underrated TV shows
Five classics that never got the kudos they deserved, according to our readers. Includes Money Dust, Nathan Barley, Early Doors and Families at War.
James Welsh, The Guardian, 3rd August 2016Seriously dark. Subversive. Unsettling. Taboo-breaking. BBC Three's Monkey Dust was a hidden comedy gem that aired for 18 episodes, before it was sadly called to a halt following the death of co-creator Harry Thompson. If fellow writer Shaun Pye could get a team together for one more episode, we'd love to see it.
Alex Fletcher, Digital Spy, 8th February 2013Your next box set: Monkey Dust
A dark and depraved comic look at broken Britain first aired on BBC3 in 2003.
