[NYcarbineer]

There's a lot of British drama hiding out on youtube.

Jewel in the Crown is rerunning on pbs Sunday nights.

Life on Mars and the sequel Ashes to Ashes are really good. Life is on youtube but it's a really bad recording.

 

[Penelope]

I, Claudius. Danger UXB. Dr. Who with the scarf (Tom Baker), Doc Martin. Top gear, Antiques road show with Fiona Bruce.

I like Doc Martin too.

 

[GiveMeATicketToWork]

The two best shows ever in my book are these two brit-coms:

1. As Time Goes By
2. Coupling

 

[Dekster]

I watch a lot of Brit TV. Vicious is probably my favorite I am still working my way through.

 

[Mindful]

You should watch Dad's Army.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

If its available over there I recommend Tom Jones and Vanity Fair both by the BBC.
Excellent adaptations which are pretty faithful to the novels.

 

[OldLady]

Last Tango in Halifax
Doc Martin
Downton Abby (all done, alas)
That baking competition is good, too

 

[MaryL]

Fawlty Towers, Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. And the "Accent of man" series with Dr. Bronowski.

 

[GHook93]

Downton Abbey
Luther
Hinterland
George Gently
Jack Taylor
Call The Midwife
Foyles War

Humans. It was only one season, but it was a heck of a good first season and the concept is amazing.

 

[Mindful]

Interesting that you get Call the Midwife, and Foyle's War.

Hope you get The Night Manager, and Happy Valley soon. Also, Grantchester. Great stuff coming out of British television just lately.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Downton Abbey
Luther
Hinterland
George Gently
Jack Taylor
Call The Midwife
Foyles War

How are you getting these programmes? Do you have something like a BBC Channel in America or are you watching on Netflix?

Do you get "Silent Witness"? We don't watch much BBC1 or BBC2, we do watch stuff on BBC4, depending, usually the historical and crime documentaries:

"Murder By Gaslight", notorious crime cases from 19th Century, and very good series on Abstract Art they had, and also good ones on Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt.

They have BBC Collections here to watch on BBC iPlayer, not sure if you can use BBC iPlayer in America, but have a go if you're interested it might work:

This is the 6 episodes of "Murder By Gaslight":

BBC iPlayer - Murder By Gaslight

This is the full BBC Collections:

BBC iPlayer - BBC Four Collections

Punch and Judy

Never heard of it. Thanks.

oh----you ain't no anglophile. Did you read "The Mayor of Casterbridge"???
how about the novel "FANNY HILL"?? Punch and Judy is a very traditional
puppet show-------street carnival type thing. Do you drink tea?

I do not claim to be an anglophile. I didn't read the Mayor of Casterbridge or Fanny Hill. I drink tea--PG Tips or Barry's. I know Punch and Judy were a carnival act I just never watched.

You don't claim to be Anglophile and you drink PG Tips....

"The Murdoch Mysteries" I've seen some of these, they're not on BBC but on one of the satellite channels that I can't remember name of, but yes, very atmospheric stuff.
