Probably showing my age, but nobody has mentioned the 70's "Chronicle"-superb stuff on Sutton Hoo, Swiss lake villages, Chinese waterlogged royal tombs or "Blood of the British" or even the modern Simon Schama series (sorry can't remember name) or "Battlefield Britain", "War Walks", "Civilization" and Jacob Brenovski's "Ascent of Man". For Comedy try "We are History"- the "Boudicca's Chariot" episode is hilarious and filmed on a real site with real archies in on the act and trying to keep a straight face.
For foreign telly I recommend the french "Alexandria project" trilogy and for the Germanic/gothic invasions/migrations I recommend "Sturm ?ber Europe/ Tempete sur Europe".
European TV usually has at least 2 Archaeological or historical programs every night.
