Does anyone else think that terrestrial TV channels are not serving us well in these troubled times. This would be a great opportunity for them to get together on one channel to impress us and earn license fee.
A suggestion..... From 9:00am to midnight on BBC2, in conjunction with the other terrestrial channels they could show, in their entirety, those blockbuster serials from years gone by.
For example,, 10:00 am Downton Abbey, every episode of every series one after the other.
11:00 am The Jewel in the Crown
I'm sure everyone could think of things which would help us get through the days.
What other magical programmes can you think of?

@chewbacca - I love 'Northern Exposure' as well, fortunately have all four series on DVD so have watched it a few times. Did get a bit weirder than normal at times but the scenery makes up for that smile

I would love to see Rumpole of the Bailey repeated. I wouldn’t imagine it would be too dated.

How many of you are referred to as ‘she who must be obeyed ‘ by your husbands?!!

At some point I would love to see Mr Selfridge again. A really feel good series, great characters and such beautiful sets and costumes. It will cheer us up no end. Mind you, I can remember it so well I'm not quite ready to watch it again just yet!

Rumpole has been on Talking TV recently. Easy telly.

. Did watch Vera Lynn in a dated propaganda film made in the war. She sang We'll Meet Again at the end. A singer not an actress but all very positive.
