TV MFM (Television Made for Me)

If I could create a fabulous television series just for me, I'd include the following elements:
  • characters with accents (especially those from the UK)
  • science fiction / fantasy
  • humor--and lots of it
  • action and more action (a la Bourne trilogy)
  • great acting by the cast
  • well-crafted episodes that reference to previous episodes and foreshadow future events (basically, great storytelling!)
  • and something so unbelievable that I could suspend reality and actually believe it.
Surprisingly, all of that is found in the he BBC television series Doctor Who. I've only watched the post-2005 regenerated (pun intended) series, so I don't know everything there is to know about the whole of Doctor Who-dom and am not quite ready to go to ComicCon dressed as a Dalek and I won't go around brandishing a sonic screwdriver. Notwithstanding, what I've watched so far, I've loved.

Doctor #10 David Tennant is by far my favorite Doctor primarily because he has some of the best lines, like this one!


And this schtick! ROTFL!


If you could create a television series just for YOU, what elements would you include? Who might star in it? What would the plot be? Special features?
