The Joan Hickson Miss Marples

Call the Midwife
Also lots of stuff from the 70s: Rumpole of the Bailey, Upstairs Downstairs, The Likely Lads, Are you being served, You're Only Young Twice.

Doc Martin
Still Game
Gavin and Stacey
Not going out
Death in Paradise
What channel is Virgin River on?

Heartbeat, good stories and fantastic music.

Ever Decreasing Circles, just love it and Peter Egan.....

I’m binge watching Velvet on Netflix. Spanish series set in fashion store in Madrid in 1950s. Fabulous clothes. My goodness, the ladies can wear a pencil skirt! And such handsome men in (and out of 😊) lovely suits. Also love Schitt’s Creek.

1st series of Outlander, filmed in Scotland, I'm less keen on it when they moved to France & America though they are still good, that 1st series is inspired though

Where did you find this please?
Thanks.

Another Virgin River fan here.
Downton Abbey
Not sure why exactly but also love Ice Road Truckers and Supertruckers

WHY is Ice Road Truckers SO compelling??? 🤣 who knows! I loved it Frankie51

Love a bit of comfort TV. Brideshead The Crown, the Kominsky Method, Modern Family, the One in Line and for huge cringe laughs Two Doors Down ...do watch the donut episode just hysterical.

The Darling Buds of May ( the older version)
Downton Abbey
Poirot
North and South
Would I lie to you

On BBC sounds
Old Harry's Game
The Goons
Yes Minister

Call The Midwife. I love that series, it reminds me of my childhood in the 60's

Another dinner ladies fan here along with Upstart Crow and Friends.

Virgin River
Resident Alien
Father Brown
Rizzoli and Isles
Any hospital soap except British!
Mugdock Mysteries
Frankly any alibi program

The Sandbaggers. Excellent spy series; a little stylized for the contemporary audience; recall that it was first broadcast in the late 1970's. Simple presentation, complex plot, great characters and acting.

LizzieDrip yes, the Repair Shop. The skills they have and the painstaking work that goes into restoring some of those items is amazing.

Repair Shop! It’s so calming and often emotional without being overly gushing. The specialists are amazing at what they do. I like the way everything is taken at an appropriate pace rather than against the clock like many ‘similar’ programmes. The recent episode with Prince Charles (as he was then) was excellent - acknowledged the value of apprenticeships and recognised that academia is not for everyone. Watching Repair Shop feels like snuggling up under a cosy blanket!

Does anyone recommend a series like A Place to call Home, Five Bedrooms or Offspring? Many thanks

A Place to Call Home is simply the best series ever made anywhere!
Five Bedrooms is very nice to watch but not in the same league.

Does anyone recommend a series like A Place to call Home, Five Bedrooms or Offspring? Many thanks

We’re currently watching Wisting on iplayer. Norwegian police drama, excellent acting and stunning scenery.

Ever decreasing circles. I loved Richard Briers as the put down Martin , Paul his neighbour (Peter Egan). Always managed to upstage him and do it better. !!

I love dinner ladies too and Oh doctor Beeching. I’m watching On the busses and that series with Leonard Rossiter who plays the skinflint landlord of student flats. I can’t remember the name.

The Leonard Rossiter series about the student flats was "Rising Damp."

The handsome young black medical student, Philip Smith, was played by Don Warrington who went on to play Commissioner Selwyn Patterson in "Death in Paradise."

UKTV PLAY is brilliant! I've watched all episodes of Peak Practice (with the gorgeous Simon Shepherd), quite a bit of Lovejoy (ditto Ian Mcshane) and now working my way through Monarch of the Glen (Alistair McKenzie). Can't think of any modern day actors who match those 3!!🙂
