I live in northern Virginia near Washington DC. My absolute favorite TV shows are mostly British in origin. If they aren't being shown on public television, I find most of them on Netflix. Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse, Sherlock Holmes, Monarch of the Glen, Antiques Roadshow (the British version, not the American one), Cash in the Attic (ditto), As Time Goes By, Keeping Up Appearances, Last of the Summer Wine, Poirot, Miss Marple, Hetty Wainwright, Fawlty Towers, and the list goes on and on. As to American shows, I enjoy House (love Hugh Laurie), Big Bang Theory, Psych, and movies from the 1940s. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

It seems to have skipped a bit...started in the middle...not sure!! Do you have Netflix? I'll have to check to see if it's there! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Hi Barbra, Nice to meet you, I loved Sherlock Holmes when it was on I believe Jeremy Bret was the actor that used to portray him when he was alive, (so sad he passed on so suddenly,) I have forgotten about Miss Marple, and my mother loves Jane Austin's movies or when they turn her books into movies. Murder on the Orient Express is another one (gotta love Angela Lansbury) in that one. I do watch House on occasion Hugh Laurie tells it like it is. Yep the list goes on and on.

Lets just put it this way, if someone told me tomorrow that I had to move there where would I want to live. i wouldn't know where I would want to live, England has so many wonderful places.
