British & Australian TV Shows on PBS in America.

The third season of Happy Valley isn’t available here yet. It was tough on the nerves to watch. Siobhan Finnerman who was also in it was a lead in the Stranger. I recognize lots of actors from one show to the next now.

I have watched many of those, and did like them. Recently watched and like the Australian show Rake.

I have heard it called Law and Disorder.

He sure was a naughty charmer. It probably should have been wrapped on season sooner. Subtitles were definitely needed.

I love most of the old Brit comedies, but got tired of the many, many murder mysteries.

I also liked Gavin and Stacy, The Royles, Black Books, as well as the aforementioned and more older ones like Fawlty Towers.

All time Fav: Absolutely Fabulous.

If you ever get the chance, one of the best British drama series is 'Last Tango in Halifax', super storylines, brilliant cast.

I have watched that one more than once, very good!!

I have always prefered the British TV to the American. The American films have way too much swearing, too many boring car chases, too many boring sex scenes and perhaps too fast for me. The British have more interesting dialogue. This is generally speaking; there are exceptions to the rule; of course.

I’m a big fan of the older British television programs and most of the PBS Masterpiece programs.

Some of the newer programs have too many story lines interwoven for my poor old mind to handle.

DaVinci’s Inquest an old television program from our friends to the north is another late night favorite of mine.

Started Monarch of the Glen this week.

He sure was a naughty charmer. It probably should have been wrapped one season sooner.

Agreed, I liked the early seasons but the writers seem to have run out of steam by the end. Guess that's true of a lot of TV shows.

I suppose if you;re getting these shows currently outside of the UK it won't seem old to you .. but of course to us they're very old shows..

Yes, I saw a photo many years ago of Wendy Richard who played on "Are You Being Served" and was amazed at how old she looked. I believe she died over a decade ago but I still see her as young Miss Brahms.
