- The Jewel in the Crown. When it first aired in 1984, "The Jewel in the Crown" was must-see TV in the U.S. The sprawling story of the final days of British rule in India blended history, spectacle and fascinating characters brought to life by a splendid cast that included Art Malik (pictured) and Charles Dance (long before he played Tywin Lannister in "Game of Thrones.")
- Downton Abbey. For all its success, both in the U.K. and in the U.S., there's plenty to quibble about when it comes to "Downton Abbey." Creator/writer Julian Fellowes had a weakness for ridiculously convenient plot twists (pretty much everything having to do with Matthew Crawley.)
- I, Claudius. In the early 1970s, "Masterpiece Theater" aired impressive British-made historical dramas such as "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" and "Elizabeth R."
- Prime Suspect. Though many critics have noted that later seasons of "Prime Suspect" weren't as gripping a the early ones (the episodes premiered on "Masterpiece Mystery" in 1991), the series was a gane-changer for Helen Mirren, who played London police detective Jane Tennison.
Drama. / 1 Season. The acclaimed historical drama follows Thomas Cromwell, an enigmatic Tudor advisor as he deftly picks his way through King Henry VIII's court, where "man is wolf to man." Watch S1 E6.
