Saw season 1 of Blechely, quite enjoyed it. Haven watched season 2 yet.

The wife liked “Call the Midwife”, I wasn’t interested in it.

Some very good Brit TV I have seen:

The Good Cop (4 part mini series VG)
New Tricks (10 seasons all top rate - start at the beginning! Amanda Redman is outstanding)
State of Play (2003 mini series EXCELLENT, the Russell Crowe movie was a remake of this)
Page Eight (2011 Super espionage piece - Bill Nighy is top rate) available on Netflix
Turks and Caicos (sequel to Page 8, Again Bill Nighy is good)
The Ice Cream Girls (2013 mini series - VG character study about wrongly imprisoned girl)
House of Cards (1990, basis for Netflix series) available on Netflix
Injustice (2011- 5 part miniseries, VG)
Yes, Minister (from the 70s. Wonderful political satire)

Most of this probably won’t be easy to get (unless you know how to use newsgroups), but worth watching if you can get them.

Both are excellent series.
