Father Brown Mysteries on BBC/PBS
« on: January 19, 2014, 04:14:21 PM »
Our Sly brother in the UK, LondonGuy, is responsible for writing several episodes of the Father Brown Mysteries.  To date these have only been aired in the UK, but starting in February they will be on PBS in the USA.  I've seen a few episodes using BBC iPlayer on the internet.  I enjoy period British mysteries.  If they're your cup of tea you might want to check them out when they air on PBS.

That's cool. We watched a British series named "Wild at Heart". It's about a veterinarian that moves his Family to Africa to be the vet on a rundown game park. A great Family show. We watched the entire series on Netflix.

Currently we have "Doc Martin" queued up on Netflix to watch soon.

Thanks for the head's up, Red!

For those interested, season 3 of Sherlock airs tonight on Masterpiece Mystery.

Doc Martin was a great series. Enjoy.

I'm a big Sherlock Holmes fan and really enjoy this modern version.  I watched last night's episode and I'm convinced that the video of St. James' Park Station was not in fact that station at all, but rather a station on a different line than the District Line, perhaps on the Victoria, Bakerloo, Northern, Piccadilly, or Jubilee Lines.  Perhaps one of our UK brethren who's seen the episode (The Red Hearse) can tell whether I'm right.

Me too.

Benedict Cumberbatch was completely wasted in Star Trek: Into Darkness; but as Homes, he's brilliant.

I have the episode on the DVR waiting for a good moment to savor it.

You can stream it from the PBS website as well.  It works fine except for the two annoying commercials that are inserted!

Thanks Red!  I look forward to watching them in a few weeks.
