What about Dr Who? I've just got the first episode with the Daleks as well as the very first episode ever, An Unearthly Child. For those who aren't familiar with Dr Who, the first episode is about a 15-year-old girl who lives in a Police phone box in a junkyard and is accidentally taken back to caveman times when the phone box is stormed by two of her teachers. That sort of thing used to happen all the time in Britain in the 1960s. ;-)
Despite the ham acting, overt sexism, BBC English spoken not only by cavemen from 10,000 years ago but also by alien creatures who have never visited Earth, and notoriously bad special effects, it's really enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the one where Dr Who goes exploring with Marco Polo and saves Kubli Khan, and the one where he gets trapped in Mexico in Aztec times and has to re-invent the wheel.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
