Brookside
The Sweeney
Bad Girls
UFO
Space 1999 (Series 1)
Knowing Me Knowing You (Alan Partridge). Also "I'm Alan Partridge", Series 1.
A Kind of Loving (mini series, 1982)

And an honourable mention must be made of Blake's Seven, a series so mind-bendingly dreadful that it was actually quite entertaining!
