For "long lasting UK series" I tend to think of The Bill.

I'm sorry; for "long lasting UK series" it's really hard to beat Doctor Who...

The Bill may have more episodes, but Doctor Who has been running for 20 years longer.

The prototypical "long lasting UK series" is actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronation_Street (nearly 60 years, >10000 episodes)

God I hate that program(me). And I was born on the same day, 9 December 1960, and as it gradually becomes known more and more for just being old I am more and more reminded of my own mortality.

OK, yes. Coronation Street does win that particular trophy.

Also a great example of the "endlessly rehashed story lines" type of series mentioned elsewhere in this thread :-)
