Mad Men is a tightly scripted, brilliantly acted drama about a New York ad agency in the 1960s. Jon Hamm's suave Don Draper is possibly the best alpha male to grace the television since Tony Soprano. An ambitious project that ran between 1978 and 1985, BBC Shakespeare attempted to bring the classic plays to a new audience. Ideal fodder for Sunday afternoons. Standouts include Bob Hoskins's Iago.Superior inner-city drama written by David Simon, a former crime reporter. Neela says: "Everyone has a different favourite series: mine is season four, which focuses on Baltimore's school system." It's a marvel how these films have managed to sustain their quality. "The Goblet of Fire is the best one, but you have to admire the later David Yates films. It's fun to see how much the actors improved," Rosie says. Ignore the movies, the series is still incredible. Never had a mainstream show talked so openly about, well… sex. Neela says: "Use this box set to find out which of the girls you are." The recent Christmas specials have been dire, but Caroline Aherne's first three series revolutionised the British sitcom. Not bad for a show that rarely left the living room. The Python films are comedy gold. Rosie says: "Holy Grail is great, but The Life of Brian is a classic. It's an intelligent comedy that's so different from some of today's rubbish."

Tati's work was forgotten when Truffaut and Goddard came along. It's time to reassess his contribution. These five films include the Oscar-winning Mon Oncle. This Japanese manga-based series from the late 1980s with its team of preening super-heroes is for boys aged between 11 and 13. It's an ideal bridge between children's TV and more adult material. Snubbed at the Baftas, it's unlikely that Charlie Brooker will ever produce anything quite like this again. Rosie says: "It's rare to find British TV so challenging. Parts of the first episode, involving a Prime Minister and a pig, are quite difficult to watch. But the second has a sweet heart to it."
