"i need a good story line to follow rather than drama"
then surely drama is exactly what you are after.
if you have access to older shows, download cracker, maybe a touch of frost (mainly because of your name), morse, looking after JJ.

yes!u cant go wrong with shameless - but ull get it better if u watch it from the first season...
i never watched Skins but ive heard ok things..
There are all really weird black comedy drama things... not reality stuff
dragon,s den is ACE!, i used to love Coupling -its like friends but instead of cheesy innuendos and gd looking ppl its all a bit more obvious.
Black Books is gd (bill bailey is hilarious + dylan moran even more so)
Silent Witness is dead oldskool but it was CSI 10 years before it was even invented.
Even more oldskool is Jonathan Creek! that was sweet... mystery and plot twists n shit.. pretty fun stuff...
but i havent actually watched any tv for years. so im a bit out of touch

The League Of Gentlemen

which series of spooks? the first few were pretty hardcore. apparently there was a slump in employing female agents at the MI5 after this series.
the mighty boosh (surreal comedy about 2 blokes who work in a zoo, if you've ever been in a band or if you're slightly weird or have a teenage mentality you'll love it)
never mind the buzzcocks (witty-and-slightly-mean-but not-in-a-cheap-Pop-Idol-way quiz show about popular music culture)
japanorama (jonathon woss's show about weird japanese stuff).
what should we be watching from your end and why?
