It’s “bouquet” NOT “bucket”! Hyacinth Bucket is a middle class woman who is comically aspirational and gets into all kinds of binds because of it.
Watch Keeping Up Appearances
Hilarious and heartwarming—the women of the village’s W.I. (Women’s Institute) go through life together, supporting each other and their families while also navigating hilarious scenarios.
Jam and Jerusalem
The remake of this show is so beautiful and gentle—it’s the equivalent of a warm hug on a cozy evening while sipping a cup of tea. Beautiful scenery of the Yorkshire dales!
All Creatures Great and Small | Masterpiece | Official Site
A female victor played by the hilarious Dawn French who must live and minister to a village of eccentric personalities. Hilarious and heartwarming, especially the first couple of seasons.
Watch The Vicar of Dibley, Season 1 | Prime Video
If you love dry British humor, you need to watch this show. Two men who do metal detecting are on the search for their big break—a buried Anglo Saxon treasure.
Watch Detectorists
A dark and moody murder mystery series set in the Shetland islands but featuring characters who shine light in such a barren landscape. The scenery is beautiful, the Scottish accents are musical, and the writing is impeccable.
Shetland (TV Series 2013
This comedy is one of the wittiest shows ever written; the dialogue is sharp, the acting and delivery are perfect, and the characters are engaging.
As Time Goes By
David Suchet IS Hercule Poirot! His look, his accent, and especially his understanding of the character make him the best actor ever to have portrayed the famous Belgian detective.
Poirot (TV Series 1989–2013)
The two ladies featured in this photo are my two favorite actresses to portray the famed elderly sleuth (Geraldine McEwan, left, & Julia McKenzie, right), though I do think McEwan gets the feistiness of Miss Marple just right.
Agatha Christie's Marple S1 - Mystery
The earlier seasons of QI, the quiz show hosted by Stephen Fry, featuring comics, actors, and other guests, are my favorites. Entertaining and educational!
QI (TV Series 2003
An early ‘00s gem of a comedy drama that takes place in the highlands of Scotland. A bit cheesy at times but a light, fun watch with beautiful scenery.
Watch Monarch of the Glen
Genuinely heartwarming, this is such a comfort show. Nothing TOO terrible ever happens, and things always get resolved one way or another. Lovely sets and costumes and very sweet storylines.
Lark Rise to Candleford (TV Series 2008–2011)
