I 've bingewatched Little House On the Prairie ( Netflix).

Miss Scarlet. The Diplomat. Night Manager.

We watch very little TV.

I love The Railway Children, I downloaded it onto my Sky box, but I’ve not managed to get up to the weepy bit with the “Daddy, my Daddy!”
I’ve loved The Brokenwood Mysteries, which are cosy crime, there are 12 series and some laugh out loud parts. The Russian female coroner, with her unrequited love with the detective, is so funny. They are like Midsomer Murders, which is another series I enjoy watching quite often.
The Admirable Crichton is a favourite film, along with The Smallest Show on Earth, both on regularly on Talking Pictures.

"Would I Lie to You" - it's on every evening on Channel 19. I've seen most episodes numerous times but it still makes me laugh. Love the chemistry between David/Lee/Rob, I'm sure they're good friends.

Right now I spotted The 70s and 80s Kitchen and I’m really enjoying the nostalgia!

I think you might love the film I watched on Channel 4 this afternoon whilst keeping cool. It was 'Billy and Molly: an Otter Love Story' It was quite moving but lovely.

Gardeners World.
Art Documentaries.

Old stuff from BBC iPlayer about Art and Culture. Comedy and old broadcasts of Steptoe and Parkinson.

All Creatures Great and Small, both the original and the new ones. It has gentle stories with animals and lovely scenery.

Canal boats diaries
The repair shop
Last of the summer wine
Hetty Wainthrop
And Gardener world I find totally relax me and calm my mind

I'm rewatching "Very Ralph' on YouTube about the life and career of Ralph Lauren.

It's a fascinating story of rags to riches. Features his three very different homes, his children and Ricky his wife of over 60-years. Plus many famous guests.

My third time of watching and I notice more each viewing.

As I said, it's on YouTube, and is (c)
1hr 45mins long.

Repeats of the Walton’s I’ve been watching it ever since it started in the 70s and I have watched the repeats so often I could tell you what’s going to be said next.
But I find it so relaxing and such a cosy feel good series with such great actors

For anyone that liked Mortimer and Whitehouse’s fishing programme, there was a very enjoyable programme on channel five along the same lines called Sam and Ade go Birding. Even if you’re not remotely interested in bird watching this wonderful, empathetic, at times very funny pairing of Sam West and Adrian Edmondson is worth every minute. Sadly there are only three episodes.

As some people mentioned, old British films! And just when I thought I'd seen everything, Dial M for Murder (Hitchcock) was on last weekend and I'd never seen it. I was thoroughly gripped! I too love the variations of Death in Paradise and especially liked the Australian one.

Been watching New Amsterdam since it started quite a while ago. Whilst usually involving some emergency or other I enjoy the characters and story lines.

I’m watching it on 27 U & Yesterday just now , but it pops up on different channels

Canal boat diaries
Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing
There was also the series that the late lamented Timothy West and Prunella Scales did about canal journeys.

In fact, anything involving canals or rivers.

I like to watch any crime or detective series ( true or fictional) and also A Place in the Sun and Sex and the City and the newer version of that which is "Girls" that is most entertaining.

Gilmore girls, canal boat diaries,Mortimer and white house fishing, anything gardening.

Roman Empire by train with Alice Roberts, it was brilliant.
