Description

The Blue Planet saw killer whales tossing a baby seal 60ft into the air, Planet Earth saw the rare snow leopard but Frozen Planet topped them all. Who can forget the thieving Adelie penguins? 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.

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 jewel in Sky Atlantic's crown, Game of Thrones marginalises the books' more far-fetched elements to make compelling drama. Neela says: "The fantasy show for people who don't like fantasy."The Breakfast Club was a seminal film for anyone in the 1980s. Screw Dawson's Creek, this is what you want to show your kids," says Rosie. Also included are About Last Night and St Elmo's Fire. Ten of the Austrian director's films, including Funny Games and The Piano Teacher. Rosie says: "Hidden is my favourite Haneke film, about the carelessness of the characters' lives."

The series that made vampires fashionable again. Dave says: "Snappy dialogue and a sympathetic ensemble cast make this fantasy series both charming and exciting." 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." There are no classic Western heroes in this claustrophobic and foul-mouthed show that ran for three series from 2004 to 2006. It's not one for those offended by profanity – the 'f' word is aired 2,980 times. When Pixar's Toy Story arrived in 1995, it changed animation forever. The films form arguably the best trilogy of all time. Rosie says: "I was so sad Toy Story 3 didn't win the Best Picture at the Oscars." Follow the alcohol-fuelled misadventures of Bernard (Dylan Moran), who runs a bookshop. For all his kudos as a stand-up, it also remains Bill Bailey's best work.Narrated by Laurence Olivier, this acclaimed documentary series from 1973 began with the birth of the Nazi Germany and ended with the defeat of Japan in 1945. It explores the human consequences of the Second World War. 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. A director who prioritised story over everything else, Lean's Brief Encounter, Great Expectations and Oliver Twist are all among the 10 films collected here.

Nothing can dent the impact of the opening episode, the aftermath of a plane crash, and this remains one of the greatest achievements in US television. Neela says: "Re-live the adventure on the island."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." 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. 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.

The best sci-fi show on TV, it's a crime that this series isn't more popular. Dave says: "It's a gripping tale of parallel universes and hidden identities. A series designed to reward patient watching." Shane Meadows's bleak look at life in Thatcher's Britain. The cinematography is unusually good, and the script has an uncommon ear for authentic conversation. This brilliant satire on the suits organising London 2012 must have made a few people wary that the Olympics would ever come to fruition at all. Hugh Bonneville and Olivia Colman lead a quality cast. This could strike you as being a bit geeky and involved, but dispel your fears. It's a rebooted, darker version of the 1970s series. Dave says: "It's The West Wing in space. The perfect thinking person's sci-fi."

Side guide

The definitive adaptation of JRR Tolkien's epic fantasy series. Rosie says: "There's a lot of extra footage, but it's seamlessly woven in. In terms of extras, it's amazing." They have their critics but these films are beautifully shot and then there's Taylor Lautner's torso. "Mills and Boon for tweens: a love triangle with a supernatural twist," says Neela. 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." If Skins was how teenagers wanted their lives to be, this was the sad – if hilarious – reality. Simon Bird is Will, who is dumped into the state school system when his mother can no longer afford private fees. 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.
