This is a list of British television programmes. It does not include foreign-made imports. The BBC has stated that in order for a series in the United Kingdom to be classed as a 'series', it must conform to the following requirements: it must have at least 14 episodes per year; it must have been produced in the United Kingdom; and it must be aired on British television.
If a programme contains fewer episodes than this, it is considered to be a mini-series. Examples of such programmes include Sherlock, a British mini-series about the detective Sherlock Holmes.

“In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
