My wife and I just completed watching all 7 seasons of The Murdoch Mysteries. Though not British, it is Canadian and based in Toronto at the end of the 1800s and early 1900s.

Good writing, good characters and quite wholesome. It was a different time with people dressing and showing respect for others. Refreshing.

One note about the series is that they bring in contemporary historical figures such as Arthur Conan Doyle, Churchhill, Tom Edison etc. Adds a lot of historic context to the series.

Watched the first six seasons on Amazon and the most recent one on Watch-Series-Online, a great site for free viewing of just about anything on TV.

There is plenty of tv out there not from the US and not from the UK which is very good. Americans just won't read subtitles, and miss a lot of good stuff.

I highly recommend the Japanese series "Bayside Shakedown," which is a quirky cop show with humor and crime all folded together with a bunch of characters you will never forget. It was hugely successful in Japan, and several spinoff movies were made, also hugely successful. If you can find these with English subtitles, give them a try (there used to be some on You Tube)

China makes incredible gorgeous costume epics with wild scenery and casts of gazillions--as tv series, some of them humorous.
