Do you get the Inspector Montalbano series ?

I don't have a TV but sometimes at night especially in the winter I watch 'catch up's on line. I love the foreign detectives especially the Italian and French ones .................. This one in particular is so funny, as well as being a proper detective. Subtitled of course. Do you get him ? If so watch :)

I love the old British Inspectors. That is what we get on PBS. And Daniel O'Donnell. Also Doc Martin, William and Mary. Keeping Up Appearances, A Time For Us. I love Judy Dench in anything.

Many of the British shows are more realistic than what we have. I would almost say primative, but that is why I like them. There was also an old one about Vets.

And, of course Norton on BBC and GordonRamsey ,my favorite. I see he is also getting shows here now. I hope it does not spoil him the way Daniel went. He is almost plastic now .Was so refreshing.

:) We still make a few good things but not like the good old days before a terrible terrible woman called Mary Whitehouse made so much fuss that censorship and 'morality' entered through the door of 'Art' now there is the good old PC and the Race Relations Act and all sorts of things interfereing with freedom of speach and thought and so expression, we are very mild now I find but there are a few honest voices that still get through .................... and we do have youtube for a dip into what we used to have. ;) I am glad you enjoy MA xxxx

Look up 'Til Death Us Do Part' (Alf Garnett) on youtube, The Sweeny and Z Cars were more honest in their day and now we have a Detecive series based in the sixties ...mmm forgot his name, shall tell you next time it's on. The Wednesday Play was a 'the pubs were empty' night, no videos then. There was real freedom then, Whitehouse put a stop to it all, our honest exploring under the heading of morality ....stupid woman spent th rest of her life watching porn !!!! Telling us how wicked it was and why we can't see it too ................... The Wednesday Plays were nothing like Porn ! Nor 'The Magic Roundabout' she had that banned because the animals seemed stoned ! Children and Adults alike loved it.
There are some good things from Channel 4 too :)
