Have you watched Wal...I have not seen Murder City. Have you watched Wallander? Not sure if that is spelled right. There is one that is not English...I have only watched one or two of it, but have watched the others. You are the first person I have heard, other than Roger and I, that did not like Selfridges.<br /><br />Oh, did you watch Land Girls? And I love Inspector Lewis. I don't know if you have read enough in either blog to realize my husband had a brain bleed last August, he was in the hospital from Aug 2 to Aug 19 and then in acute rehab till Sept 9(?) Anyway, the last shows came on then and we had always watched them...and I did watch them when I came home at night, but just cried. They were like old friends...and that is really how I feel about New Tricks. I have not watched very many with so many of the original cast gone...<br /><br />Oh and have you watched Scott & Bailey?

Never watched it after that!<br />I loved Foyle's War! Some of the episodes were filmed in Eastbourne! (That is where my in-laws live!)<br />I couldn't watch Selfridges either, just didn't care for it.<br />I also loved Endeavour! Bletchley Circle, I think that was the one where I thought the girls were a bit stuck up, so I didn't watch it! Ballykissangel? I don't think I saw that one.<br />NEW TRICKS! I love that show! One of the big reasons, it shows a lot of London in the background...it has made me do research on a lot of things that I notice behind the characters as they are on the streets there!<br />Also, my friend Nan, at Letters From A Hill Farm, is a big fan of all things British, you should look at her blog! :-)<br />The Last Detective, George Gently, ...I have so many shows that I have enjoyed recently! (Richard got some DVDS from the library for me!) Murder City was another British show I liked!Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-4946711615066383262017-05-24T12:39:16.931-04:002017-05-24T12:39:16.931-04:00I did love Downton Abbey, but I loved Foyle's ...I did love Downton Abbey, but I loved Foyle's War more, and others just as much. The one I could not stand to watch was the other one...can't for the life of me think of it...Selfridges! Everyone loved it but hubby and I could not get into it. I keep thinking I will try it again someday.<br /><br />I loved Endeavour, and did you watch Bletchley Circle? Oh, and did you watch Ballykissangel back when it was on? It is one of my all time favorites.<br /><br />And New Tricks...not masterpiece either, but I avoided it for two or three years, same as I did Foyle's War....the title did not appeal to me. And on both I accidentally started watching without realizing what I was watching and had to get Netflix dvd's to watch what I had missed. I need to sit and make a list of all I have watched.

It sounds like it would have informative and entertaining.
