I didn't watch the Vicar of Dibley except for the finale: The Vicar of Dibley - A Holy Wholly Happy Ending. I laughed so hard, and I adore Richard Armitage :) I assume you watched Downton Abbey?

I have considered watching Loch Ness, and imagine I will sign up for Britbox eventually. I am watching 19-2 now, which I think is on Acorn TV, it is a character driven cop show and is set in Canada. 19-2 is the number of the two main guys' police car.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274393531253464864.post-11694745983124356372017-07-01T08:14:23.840-07:002017-07-01T08:14:23.840-07:00Thank you for the mention of Britbox!!

My favorite Brit sitcoms were To The Manner Born and As Time Goes By. I have heard of the shows you mentioned, but haven't seen them yet.

I have seen some the series mentioned in other comments above (Father Brown, The Vicar of Dibley, Lark Rise to Candleford, Foyle's War).
