  1. Love British Antiques Road Show – for exactly the reasons you point out.
    Thanks for the recommendations…. I tend to out shows like this on while sewing.

  2. I am totally with you! I too curled up in a fetal ball and every day I also see/read/hear horrors….thank goodness for your site to keep me away from the horrible things.

  3. I was obsessed with Regency House Party back in 2004. A British reality TV show where they put a bunch of singles (and older chaperones) in a period house. I really wanted a sequel where they showed what the servants were doing!

  4. I love all these suggestions. Another guilty pleasure of mine is any Joanna Lumley travel documentaries.

  5. The Manners of Downton Abbey! Those Secrets of Manor House specials!

  6. What’s kept me sane: Wainwright walks. Walking tours of GB. (do a search for walking tours). Time Team, each episode is a cheerful en masse one weekend archeology show in GB somewhere, new shows on Youtube. The BBC Great British Baking show (after it left BBC it got dour). ALL the Agatha Christie shows. All the Dorothy Sayers and Ngaio Marsh shows. Dalgliesh. Over and over. Oh, Morse. (apparently the theme song includes morse code for Morse, and sometimes the name of the murderer) Totally off topic, but good for the times Korean Revenge Dramas. The Glory, Eve, the Signal and Vincenzo on Netflix. Still hunting for more. (Marry My Husband is on an obscure subscription channel on BBC). I’m old and retired and knit and do art with the tv in the background.

  7. Thanks for putting this list together – love it! How weird is that I was actually listening to Suzannah Lipscomb‘s podcast ‘Not Just the Tudors’ while reading this post??

  8. I hope you know that Lucy Worsley has an audio series on the BBC called Lady Killers and Lady Swindlers, about female criminals through history. There are 42 episodes so far, all really interesting and well done.
