I found a treasure trove of old British dramas on Youtube....

For all who love Masterpiece Theater on PBS, here are shows from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

I am currently watching To Serve Them All My Days. There's the Forsyte Saga, The Citadel, My Cousin Rachel and tons more series.

after that I will watch this by the same author: R. F. Delderfield. A Horseman Riding By. I like these post war stories. THen I'm just going to start digging through them. I love period dramas and war stories.

Forsyte Sage is on my list (it's 27 episodes!!). I loved the adaptation they did about 10 years or so ago.

Sunday night is my favorite night for TV. I like the detective and mystery series' too.... Grantchester, Endeavor, etc.

Poldark's Aidan Turner will be playing Leonardo da Vinci next.

Looks like there are a lot of goodies there. I see The Charmer which was a good one. Nigel Havers is always fun to watch in anything.

Reminded me to go look for The Duchess of Duke Street, which was one of my favorites.
