Problem with Gently is that I'm having trouble finding Seasons 5 and 6. They are currently filming 7 now in Durham, England. Netflix only has the first four. Does anyone know how to get BBC broadcasts or of some other site like Netflix that might have these programs. Also, any other recs for really good shows like these? Thanks FREEPERS! MM

Don’t forget Doc Martin and the new series Selfridge. They’re shooting the latest Downton Abbey. Pity they killed off the heir ... something is brewing I think .... I have the first three series of Downton Abbey on DVD. Check Amazon. R/Janey

I loved "Vanity Fair" (NOT the one with Reese Witherspoon. The one filmed in '98 starring Natasha Little).
It's a little older than the ones you've been watching but I thought it was great.

Thanks SkyDancer. I’m watching Selfridge. Doc Martin has been recommended but I’m looking for something a little darker, no comedy. Well Lee Ingleby is funny but he doesn’t try to be.
Yes, I ordered Season 5 of Gently from Amazon but it’s expensive.

I like Midsomer Murders - the first 13 seasons are available on Netflix streaming. Foley’s War was a great watch. Will have to check out Gently. Happy viewing!

might be hard to find but The Sweeney from the 70's was a good crime series...

Go right now! Can’t imagine why you haven’t! The new-school Holmes and Watson are PERFECT in the modern-day! It’s a brilliant series!

My personal favourite was a cop show from about a decade ago called Life on Mars. It’s about a Manchester detective who gets hit by a car and wakes up in 1971.

We like Foyle’s War; Detective Morse; Inspector Lewis (spin off Morse) we also watched Frost detective series but it was more Cockney than others and made dialogue sometimes hard to follow and shows a bit of downers.

If you liked Foyle, you’ll love Gently AFB.

Another recommendation for Midsomer Murders. Such funny characters.

Forgot the P.D. James Commander Daglish but background sound is annoying!

Great suggestions. I knew I could count on my fellow Freeps. Has anyone heard of Montalbano or Wire for Blood?
