Modern family & Still game, worlds apart and yet both brilliant

I absolutely love The walking Dead🙂

My Dd got me into the Walking Dead a few weeks ago. It’s amazing. After you get over the Zombies and get into everyone’s back story and everything that’s going on it’s a fantastic show. We love it. We’re on series 5 and can’t wait to binge watch of an evening.

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

Absolutely love outlander. I found they got better after every series. Characters really come to life.

Birds of a Feather, Fools and Horses and Rising Damp, Keeping Up Appearances. I can't stand Doc Martin. Glad it's over.

Endeavour
A place to call home
Lewis ( I watched a lot of episodes during the Pandemic hoping one day we would all be released again)
Cracker
To the Manor Born

I wouldn't say I watch it for comfort, but simply because I think it's one of the best crime dramas of the past few years, The Unforgotten, I recently watched all of them all over again. Oh to have something of that standard more often, the pairing of Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar's characters and the slow evolving but utterly compelling plot made it compulsive viewing for me.

A few years ago I quite enjoyed watching Delia Smith's Christmas food preparation around the end of the year.

I've also re watched the first Brideshead Revisited I was completely captivated by it back in the '80s.

Original Maigret on Talking Pictures
Foyles War
Emily in Paris

The Watches - Springwatch, etc.
James Bond films
Postman Pat
Tim & Pru on the canals
Canal boat diaries
Country house Gent (canals)
Julia Bradbury walks, especially in the Lakes.
Any programme about the Lakes!
The BBC2 progs which were filmed in real time - canal boat, train journey, bus journey in the Dales.

A place to call home was my favourite my sister had watched it in Australia and told me about it. I was hooked!

Love bewitched mini moon😀was my go to favourite as a child. My binge watch is dinnerladies and last of the summer wine. So love a good father brown though!

The original BBC All Creatures Great and Small. It was far more faithful to the books than the latest channel 5 series, which l find mawkish and anachronistic as they try to promote 21st century ideals into the 1930s.

Afternoons during Lockdown and other days, we watched a series about canals,Country house gent, loved it so calming and peaceful.Alzo loved an Auxsie series called My Greek Odyssey. One was on YouTube and the other on Netflix.

Oh and A Place to Call Home - simply great 😊

Virgin River and Chesapeake Shores - trouble is I’ve seen them all now 🤣

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.

I ended up binge watching 'The Crown'. My daughter was watching it once when I visited her, I was so gobsmacked at how the writers had guessed what was said behind closed doors, that I started watching it. I kept saying to my daughter, there is no way we would know what was said and what really happened. The writers certainly took some big guesses. Its a shame they didn't change all the names and make it more fantasy. We would still know who it was based on, but it would be slightly less misleading for history buffs.

Binge watching with DH:
The Mentalist
Ghosts
After Life

Binge watching alone:
Virgin River
Anything to do with interior design (U.K. based)

Comfort viewing:
Persuasion (Ciaran Hinds)
Pride and Predjudice (Colin Firth version)

I’m binge watching Nighty Night on i player today. It’s hilarious!

The original All Creatures Great and Small, Doc Martin, Morse, Dinner Ladies, all Victoria Wood , Heartbeat, Gogglebox, used to like HIGNFY but it's getting a bit tired I feel, House of Games, Repair Shop, Escape to the Country.

Oh yes, Dinner Ladies are always worth another watch. Victoria Woods was so great (am now humming the ballad of Barry and ? !) , Last Tango in Halifax, Downton Abbey particularly for the wonderful Maggie Smith put downs, and recently they have had the original Upstairs Downstairs on and have watched a few of those , but I enjoy University challenge, Mastermind and Only Connect. I dont have Netflix or any of that but watch out round about Christmas for old favourites that my husband and I used to enjoy. Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca and African Queen , Railway children the old version with Bernard Cribbs as Perks and Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard and of course good versions of Pride and Prejudice with the appalling Lady Catherine de Bourg but actually I much prefer the radio to listen to Bach , Chopin, Mozart Goretsky, Piazzolla etc etc and any decent plays where you can still do jobs but be able to listen. Ah well looks like rain so had better rescue my washing

I go to the original Poldark, the scenery may be a bit stagey but the acting is great.

The wonderfully witty Frasier never fails to cheer me up and I've been gradually working my way through all the 264 episodes on More4. It takes me back to a time when I was a similar age to the characters and the scriptwriting is just superb.

Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones (along with House of the Dragon now too). If I'm in need of some light relief, I do enjoy Motherland and Derry Girls.
