Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Has anyone seen the British series the Duchess of Duke Street?! Most excellent!!!!!
An old series I think filmed in 1977!!! I just finished the last DVD yesterday and am so sorry that there is not any more!!!!
I don't think so. I love British shows!!
I don't remember seeing it, but love the Doc Martin show, a BBC show, we get it on PBS on Sunday pms.
I watch all the BBC shows from Netflix and Amazon Prime on Roku. Some I never knew about. I just finished watching the series The Fall. It's great. Also The Murdoch Mysteries is excellent, turn of the century setting. The Forsyte Saga, Foley's War, Rosemary and Thyme, so many great series from BBC. I seldom watch network shows now.
I believe giving what I can will never cause me to be in need.
Being cheap is not a badge of honor.
My heroes are working people, paying their own way, taking care of their children and being decent human beings.
yes. I can still hear her voice ;-)

That one I haven't seen. I'm just finishing the 4th DVD of Downton Abbey -- will watch that one again!!
Onebyone, I am going to check out your suggestions. Right now I am watching Monarch of the Glen on Netflix. It is a British series that takes place in Scotland, modern times. they are trying to raise money to save the estate.
Jean in MI
I loved Monarch of the Glen! The characters are wonderful. For a really great show, not what you think, watch MI-5. I got involved in that show after one episode.

I only watched the first DVD. But also filmed in 2002, you all might want to watch The Forsyte Saga. There are two seasons on that series. This was my first introduction to BBC programming thru Masterpiece theatre. I am going to enjoy the next installment of Mr. Selfridge. I am old enough to remember Woolworth stores !!!
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
Sounds good!
NO NO NO Go back to the original Forsythe Saga...a bit slow but oh so much more detailed and moving. I hated the update. Ever see the original "Upstairs Downstairs"? Downton to the max. Vintage is so much better than the updates. If you enjoyed Mr S try "The Paradise" same premise but livelier, more real romance.Originally Posted by ManiacQuilter2

Love all the British dramas.
I have not see it but will put it on my list. I discovered "Larkrise to Candleford" last year and it is a hidden gem. How does BBC keep doing such good work and we "Yanks" .... not so much.
I found that, too, and I've enjoyed it. I like the way Netflix suggests shows for you, so I've enjoyed Hotel Babylon, and The Grand.
Yes, watched it and loved it. Also Larkrise to Candleford.
I loved Duchess on VHS! Here's a link to all the Masterpiece Mystery Productions:

I have enjoyed many of them including Poldark and, a sleeper, Reckless!

Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, For I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.
I do too and I love Inspector Lewis!
DH was watching MI-5, but there was too much torture in it for me. I had to stop watching Scandal, too, although I was trying to ignore the torture, I finally found I really didn't care what happened to the characters, so not worth my time.
Thanks for all the suggestions, as I'm running out of things to watch in the evenings while I'm stitching.
I haven't seen that one - will have to look for it.
Love Rosemary and Thyme and my current favorite, Death in Paradise.
i, too, love Death in Paradise. I was wondering how the new inspector would be. I like him. I like the whole cast.
I remember that series with great pleasure,wish they would repeat some of these old ones.Glad you enjoyed them.Letty x
Absolutely loved Monarch of the Glen and hated to see it end.
