I'd go for "zounds" or "gadzooks" myself although I have a soft spot for "hell's bells" too.

I used to say "WHAT A FRIGHT TOP CAT"
when I was a kid because I must've saw Top Cat and assumed that was an actual phrase :'D
Crikey!
^ this
I can remember one of my mum's friend's husbands used to say this all the time.
I've started using "OH OLD GLORY!"
I'm not sure where I heard it but I like it.
cripes!
well galacticstar3ruption me!
holy moly!
:D
GREAT SCOTT!
said dr brown style :P
"Oh! Crikey!"
purely because of this...
me and 2 friends were travelling from leeds to manchester on the ever-crammed tubeofshit so we were sat on the folding chairs by the toilets to avoid the usual congestion.
a young woman walks down the train and enters the toilet, nothing wrong there.
a while later, a middle-aged man walks down and presses the button to open the toilet door. it's one of those automatic doors that takes about 5 minutes to go from shut to fully open.
cue a shriek from inside the toilet.
the girl has clearly been in there for the amount of time that means she's either shitting or wiping her ass.
the guy just stutters and then shouts in a yelp 'Ooooh! Crikey!' AND JUST STANDS THERE. doesn't press the button or move. just stands there looking at her.
me and my friends are at this point crying with laughter, one of us has fallen to the floor as she clearly fumbles for the 'shut door' button and has to endure the door closing again at the rate of 1cm per hour and some creepy guy stood staring at her.
great, great days indeed.
:D
