What TV show or movie will you always stop on even if it’s a repeat when channel surfing?

I will always stop on an episode of the UK series Gavin & Stacy. While I’m channel surfing I absolutely love it.

Doctor Who - classic or new

Stardust

Dead Poets Society

Old Casualty or The Bill for a laugh, but soon get bored

Nothing too specific - but if I recognise a current favourite actor in something from their earlier career that I had no idea they were in, especially if it took some time to puzzle over the "I know them from somewhere" thing, I'll usually stop a while.

Breaking Bad.

The finest writing I've ever seen in a TV show.

So much brain rot on Disney and Netflix now in comparison.

Gogglebox. It's probably not the coolest answer, but if I come across an episode, I'll definitely stop and watch it.
