凭借独特的幽默感、精妙的故事情节和丰富的文化内涵，英国电视剧正吸引着越来越多的中国观众，尤其是年轻观众。如他们所言，看英剧的瞧不起看美剧的；看美剧的瞧不起看日剧的；看日剧的瞧不起看韩剧的。今天，我们就来看看在中国最受欢迎的一些英剧吧。
Merlin
《梅林传奇》
Merlin, the British fantasy-adventure television program, plays a large role in many young Chinese audiences' spare time, especially among colleague students. From the first season to the fifth, the TV series received around 40,000 comments, with the average rating point reaching above 8/10. The derivative videos, such as Merlin: Secrets & Magic (2009) and The Real Merlin and Arthur (2009) also enjoy high popularity due to people's love of the original TV episodes.
英国魔幻冒险电视剧《梅林传奇》在很多年轻中国观众的闲暇时间陪伴着他们，其中大学生尤其多。从第一季到第五季，这部英剧的评论已经有4万左右条，评分也在8以上（满分10）。不少衍生剧如《梅林传奇之魔法秘境》（2009）和《梅林和亚瑟的前世今生》（2009）因为原剧的原因而在中国观众中也享有很高的人气。
Meanwhile, British actors Colin Morgan and Bradley James are becoming increasingly known in China for playing the protagonists Merlin and Arthur in the drama. The close ties and brother-like relationship between the two roles became a hot gossip among young audiences. Some of the classic dialogue in the episodes has even been used in as a teaching tool on English education websites, such as hujiang.com.
与此同时，英国演员科林•摩根（ColinMorgan）和布莱德利•詹姆斯（BradleyJames）也因在剧中出演梅林和亚瑟而在中国人气渐长。两个角色之间如兄弟般亲密的关系成了很多年轻观众的热门八卦。剧中很多经典的对白甚至被沪江等英语学习网站用于教学。
The show is loosely based on the Arthurian legends of the young wizard Merlin and his relationship with King Arthur but differs from traditional versions.
这部英剧取材自亚瑟王的传说，可和原作联系并不紧密，讲述了年轻巫师梅林和亚瑟王的故事，但又与老版本有所不同。
Doctor Who
《神秘博士》
Doctor Who, another classic British TV series, enjoys great popularity in China. The science-fiction television program has been reviewed with high rating for years, with an average 9/10 mark on Douban.com, one of the most popular websites for film fans and critics.
同样经典的英剧还有《神秘博士》，它在中国同样广受欢迎。这部科幻电视剧评分多年来一直居高不下，在豆瓣网上平均打分为9（满分为10）。豆瓣是最受影迷和影评人喜爱的网站之一。

《南方和北方》是另一部中国英剧迷必看的作品。这部2013年出品的的电视剧，仅凭借四集节目，就在中国人气视频网站腾讯视频得到了超过1400万的点击量。
The story is described as Pride and Prejudice in the Industrial Age. It follows the story of Margaret Hale (Daniela Denby-Ashe), a young woman from southern England who has to move to the north after her father decides to leave the clergy. The family struggles to adjust to the industrial town's customs, especially after meeting the Thorntons, a proud family of cotton mill owners who seem to despise their social inferiors. The story explores issues of class and gender, as Margaret's sympathy for the town mill workers clashes with her growing attraction to John Thornton (Richard Armitage).
这个故事被誉为工业时代的《傲慢与偏见》。出生在英格兰南部的玛格丽特•海尔（Margaret Hale）（丹妮拉•丹拜-阿什 Daniela Denby-Ashe饰）因为作为牧师的父亲辞了工作，而搬去英国北方生活。整个家庭都在努力适应着北方工业小镇的习俗，尤其是在碰见桑顿一家之后。盛气凌人的桑顿一家是棉纺厂的厂主，看似瞧不起社会地位比他们低的人们。玛格丽特对小镇棉纺厂里的工人的同情与她对约翰•桑顿（理查德•阿米蒂奇）日渐增长的情愫相冲突，这个故事借此探索了阶级和性别的话题。
Silk
《皇家律师》
Barristers, the laws, the ethical dilemmas, "the overlap between the personal and the professional", "principles fought for and principles sacrificed"… Silk is another popular British TV drama.

The chambers' senior clerk, Billy Lamb (Neil Stuke), also features heavily in the series.
