oopsadaisy1 where did you find the box sets online to stream? Hope they are not on the dreaded Brit Box.

What do you find offensive about BritBox ?

Well, I love BritBox. Some of the new series on ITV show on BritBox minus the ads. Currently I’m busy comparing the Darling Buds of May with The Larkins. They have a number of musicals such as Phantom and Cats.

I do thing Wire in the Blood is horrendously violent and couldn’t watch it anymore.

They have Shetland on BritBox and many more full series such as The Accused, Hunted, River, Scott and Bailey and Unforgotten plus many more. IMO, BritBox is getting better as time goes by.

Have recorded Blue Murder on ITV2 from 2008 (with Caroline Quentin) recently, and am enjoying them. And several of the Michael Gambon Maigret series are sitting there, awaiting my viewing pleasure too.
I am very fond of Law & Order too (both US and UK)

We enjoyed watching "Prime Suspect", but don't know if this is available now. "Happy Valley" was so gripping on I-Player, even though we weren't able to access sub-titles so some of the broad Yorkshire was a bit hard to understand. Yes, I remember George Dixon - "evening all" - we watched Saturday evenings over tea. We would think we had entered another universe if we saw it now, but the crook was always caught, nobody seemed stressed and the bobby still walked his beat!

ayse and merylstreep I don’t like britbox because the things I used to watch for free that were produced by the BBC or ITV are on Britbox and as I already have Prime (free delivery was very useful during the lockdowns) and Netflix I can’t justify paying for another streaming site.

Yes to Bergerac, Dalziel & Pascoe and New Tricks (all on DVD). What about Adam Adamant? I used to love that.

The Last Detective with Peter Davison in the lead. And a couple of American series, Hill Street Blues and Homicide: A Life on the Street.
