UK folks, a question

[donutsweeper]

This is for the bbc Sherlock fandom, but it's a general British telly inquiry:

I need a show you would consider mindless telly- something airing now that John Watson could plunk down on the sofa and watch without having to commit a lot of brainpower to. If it is something that Sherlock might mock it would be all the better. Any thoughts?

This one is a little more specific, but in your opinion, how likely is it someone like John would have watched Doctor Who growing up? What about Sherlock? Is Classic!Who shown in repeats during the day or late at night ever?

Thanks! *showers you all with donuts*

Not just that, but clearly Sherlock is destined to take the piss out of the IBM computer that recently played on Jeopardy, the one named Watson.

Ooh, and then the computer Watson will get all depressed and I KNOW WHERE MARVIN THE PARANOID ANDROID CAME FROM NOW.

Sorry, um. *rubs my grimy fingerprints off your plot bunny and hands it back*

I think it just bred. Can we see two parallel versions of this? 0.0
