On the way to a costume party:
Brilliant, indeed! 
I find it hard to believe Del Boy (David Jason) was also the eponymous detective in A Touch of Frost.
Are any US channels taking Rosemary and Thyme?Rosemary & Thyme - Wikipedia
Just recently she was in a stage musical Anything Goes, which was shown on TV over here.
One of the most popular moments:
It’s on Vision TV Wednesday evenings, which I believe is a Canadian cable network, but I imagine they can get it in the States too.
I’ve watched a couple of episodes, but it’s just as far-fetched as Murder, She Wrote. There’s nowhere the two women can go without finding a dead body. If I were a cop, I’d be investigating them.
Yes! Rosemary and Thyme played here! We enjoyed it.
Orphan Black was on BBC America with Doctor Who from roughly 2012 - 2018.
Life on Mars was very good. A modern day detective wakes up in the 1970’s. I thought they did a brillant job of recreating the look and feel of that time.
I watched a lot of BBC America until it went bad.
Classic Brit Tv for me was Are You Being Served, The Avengers and Space 1999.
I borrowed the videocassettes of Lucia and Mapp from the public library but I don’t know whether it was actually aired on TV here.
Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends (later renamed Thomas & Friends) found an audience in the U.S. when it was featured on the American children’s series Shining Time Station.
More recently, there’s Peppa Pig…
Orphan Black is Canadian.
When I was a kid, we got Count Duckula, The Famous Five and Super Gran. Not to mention 800 million episodes of Coronation Street. (This was in Canada, not the U.S. though.)
Dangermouse ran on Nickelodeon in the 1980’s, and a revived version lasted two seasons on Netflix.
Dutchess of Duke Street. Upstairs, Downstairs. Poldark (in the 70’s, better than the recent remake). Three of my all-time favorite tv viewing experiences. … I followed EastEnders for YEARS, the PBS station here kept moving it around until they pulled it for ‘costing too much’…I know it was ‘just a soap opera’ but there are scenes and performances that stay in my mind to this very day…‘The Onedin Line’ about a shipping dynasty was on for, what, ten years? and is never mentioned…and I don’t know if it was a one-episode or a series, but ‘Moll Flanders’ - rather grim, starred Alex Kingston as a hooor.
For the win. There’s a whole generation that would agree with you.
There was even a mini-scare among American parents that watching Peppa would make their kids start speaking like her:
Seen that a million times but it is still funny
Really? That’s considered one of their best moments? Wasn’t like Buster Keaton or Charlie Chaplin doing that joke a century ago?
I remember watching 'Allo, 'Allo in college, so it ran in Olympia during the '80s. I loved the gimmick of having the characters use exaggerated accents; all the actors were speaking English, of course, but the two airmen with English accents couldn’t understand anyone speaking with a French accent. I don’t remember which station it was on. I don’t think it was PBS, but might have been.
I’ve seen The Thin Blue Line once or twice, but I don’t remember it making much off a splash.
One that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is Star Cops. It was a police/detective show set in the near future, there are space stations and an early base on the moon. I think there were only a dozen episodes or so. Not popular in the U.S., but interesting.
“You’re not my mother!”
“Yes I am!!”
Pawleen whacking Arthur with the frying pan
Etc., etc.
If these are examples of the best of this show, I will not be seeking it out.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been an American version of New Tricks created yet.
