British TV Shows...

I can't believe I have to catch up on 10 seasons of QI that I never knew existed.

The worst thing about British TV is BBC America when I really want to watch BBC.

I don't want "the best of" or "a selection of" or "highlights from" or "here is what we think you foreigners want to see." I just want unadulterated, live, as-it-is-released, British TV.
 
I liked watching the TV series Lewis, as in Inspector Lewis, a spinoff from Inspector Morse.

I feel Inspector Lewis's sidekick, Hataway (played by Laurence Fox) stole the show.

I can vouch for Call The Midwife, but I suppose it depends on your tastes. Have you read up on it? I haven't heard of Bomb Girls before so I can't offer an opinion.

I loved Morse and loved Lewis too. Bad news though, they've recently stopped making Lewis :( And yeah, I agree about Hathaway :D
 
I just finished watching Call The Midwife. It was pretty good. A little slow, but I laughed, I teared up,... so I would not be opposed to seeing the second series. Redfox, I read a little about it. I like that it was based on the woman's life.

Ive seen a bit of Bomb Girls. The lesbian character interests me, but Im still not sure if Im going to watch it yet.
 
I really enjoy British programming. Shows like Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse/Lewis, A Touch Of Frost, and Doc Martin are a few that I enjoy watching.
 
We miss you, thatgirl :(

Anyway, just wanted to comment on a couple of shows, including the one thatgirl spoke about in her last post in this thread, Broadchurch, although there's probably not much I can add really to what she already said. However, the ending was perhaps a little...I don't know, disappointing I suppose is how best to describe it. Or rather the whole of the episode was disappointing, I think due largely to the fact that the murderer is revealed fairly early on in the episode so there isn't the suspense that usually occurs in these sort of dramas. Overall the series was very good though and I do recommend watching it :D

A more recent show that I recommend is The Fall. It's a 5-part series from the BBC and is set in Belfast and stars Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan. This show has the unusual but not unheard of premise of showing the viewers who the murderer is from very early on, but that doesn't in any way detract from the suspense we are put through right until the very last episode. I hope those of you who are able to watch it enjoy it :D

Only residents of the UK have unlimited access to BBC programmes, assuming of course that they have paid the annual TV licence fee (£140...dunno what that would be in dollars) which funds the BBC. I`m surprised at how popular the Beeb seems to be in the States, because here in Britain, the public standing and reputation of the BBC has never been lower, and deservedly so.
 
I'm really big into cooking so Nigella Lawson? It's truly sad about what recently just happened though...
 
^ Where are you up to with it? There have been two series of it and a Christmas special but apparently there won't be any more made. However, there are plans for a US remake.

yhtang, good call on Endeavour ..|

I have seen the two series of it. Didn't know about the Christmas special or remake. Thanks for the info.

I just watched this in marathon form and I was riveted the first seven episodes until, I'm afraid, the series torpedoed itself with its selection (as opposed to reveal) of the killer. What? What? I was staring at the screen in such disbelief. It would have made more sense if the murderer was a total stranger! This choice was so incongruous as to how the character was presented the previous seven episodes. It's a shame because I liked the story, the acting, and definitely the setting.
