Tv shows

Top 10 Tv shows in UK:


1. Glee
No-one can doubt how successful this global phenomenon has been over the past year. With the sing-along factor cranked up to the maximum, all the show's cast have become overnight stars, with several of their songs making top ten’s around the world. And let’s not forget coach Sue Sylvester, who will go down in history as one of the most memorable and hilarious TV characters ever.
2. Sherlock
Who would've thought such a classic story would be so successful in the modern era? It was a risk, but the writers succeeded in making an internet and GPS-savy Sherlock Holmes highly watchable and wholly believable.
3. The good wife
Great script-writing makes this legal drama stand out from the rest. It is strengthened by unconventional and unusual twists and interesting characters like Kalinda Sharma, who earned Archie Panjabi an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress this year.
4. This is England ´86
Shane Meadows' TV adaptation of his hit film had us crying whilst simultaneously shouting at the small screen earlier this year. A second series is apparently in the works for 2011, set during the rave scene of the 1990s.
5. Wonders of the solar system
Physicist Brian Cox did the seemingly unthinkable when he made the Solar System sexy, with a series that focused on the 'wonder' of our universe and how it operates. This programme was one of our highest-rating shows of the year, as voted for by TVGuide.co.uk users.
6.  Pineapple dance studios
The cult reality TV show made stars out of flamboyant Artistic Director Louie Spence and deluded wannabe popstar Andrew Stone. All those pirouettes and high kicks brought the camp back into prime-time.
7. The pacific
Once again, HBO came good, with a sister series to the highly-acclaimed Band of Brothers. The spin-off focuses on the US Marine Corps during the Pacific War. With stars like Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks behind the camera, this series was destined to win a mountain of Emmy awards, much like its predecessor.
8. An idiot abroad
Ricky Gervais' hapless mate Karl Pilkington brought us his unique take on the Seven Wonders of the World. From comparing the Great Wall of China to the M6 to observing floating dirty nappies outside The Pyramids, this really was a travel show with a difference.
9. Misfits
Another one of the highest-rating shows on TVGuide.co.uk, the comedy has proved that it's just as good the second time around. With razor-sharp wit and edge-of-your-seat action, this show is unlike anything else on TV right now. It makes our Top Ten for the second year running.
10. The pacific
Once again, HBO came good, with a sister series to the highly-acclaimed Band of Brothers. The spin-off focuses on the US Marine Corps during the Pacific War. With stars like Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks behind the camera, this series was destined to win a mountain of Emmy awards, much like its predecessor.

Comics (Gustavo)

Teens in Britain, just like in Brazil, like comics that they read in the newspapers and in books. In England, there are some old ones, like Hogan's Alley. Nowadays, Marvel's comics like Superman and Batman are very popular. Here's a description of them ( all the heroes have lots of different stories, but I'm goig to tell the most famous versions of those) :
Superman- Superman is an alien from another planet, Kripton, which exploded. His parents sent him Earth because the planet was going to explode and they didn't want Superman to die. In Earth, he was discouvered by a couple: John and Mary Kent and they took care of him. As he grew up, he noticed that he was different. That he was stronger than the other boys and that he could shoot lasers. Then, he decided to use his powers for good and he became the famous Superman!
Batman- Batman is a normal guy, he's just millionare or billionare depending on the time. After his parents die, he decided to combat crime and revenge his parent's death. He studied a lot of things, became very intelligent and strong. Some time later, he adopted a child, who he trained and it became Robin.
In Brazil, we like more anime and mangas, because the immigrants popullation is very big, and Asia has give us loads of culture. Some like Naruto and Dragonball are popular:
Naruto- Naruto is a boy that lives in a village, the leaf village. But Naruto's father, the village's Hokage, apprisionated a nine tails fox in his body when he was baby. Now, he is seen as a monster by everyone. So he is solitarie and no one seem to understand him. So he wants to become the village Hokage and get some respect. Then, he enters the ninja school, 'cause a  Hokage is a very powerful ninja. Then, he forms a team, with Sasuke and Sakura.
Interesting facts: the world’s largest comic book collection does not belong to any real comic dealer. Instead it belongs to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
