Thankyou all for the updated information on new programs to watch. I didnt realise that having a log in for ITV Player also enables me to watch BBC Programs. A couple of days ago I thought I would give it a try and bingo I was able to enjoy some BBC programs....Problem is there just isnt enough time in the day for them all. Between BBC Antiques, The Garden Shows and all the other great programs like Endeavor which I really enjoy Undeniable I liked but I found like many of you it was rushed at the end similar to lots of books which seem to put most of the action in the last couple of chapters. Now a new Vera I just cant wait.

I now have a pad at the side of my computer just for progams that are mentioned otherwise I might forget them the list is getting longer and longer. I figure if I stayed up till 2am I might get them all in.

thanks for posting all these tv programs. I really only watch tv on my computer and not paying for anything tv related - cable etc. I am enjoying Endeavour and not sure if last week's episode was end of season or what. I like the actor who plays Thursday. I also saw a German drama advertised called "Generation War". Also I am heavily involved in US in animal rescue and there is series on ITV called "Auf Wiedersehen Pet". Folks who have to give up pets and then interview 3 families. Show does follow up. It's better than all stuff I read on facebook of dogs being killed in their thousands every day. Anyway I've bored you all enough..

I watched Generation War on BBC2 last night, it was good. I think BBC is recognising the popularity of foreign programs becaause they seem to have moved the Saturday evening "subtitled" slot from BBC4 to BBC2.

According to Wikipedia Endeavour was just 4 episodes so sadly that's over.

Vera was good though and Generation War, which completely surprised me in its perspective.

The last time I saw Shaun Evans being interviewed, he left me with the impression that more episodes will be made. I just hope we don't have to wait too long.

Been watching The Allotment and just started Crimson Fields. Thought Hinterland was rather good. Have Prey and Happy Valley next on the list.

I couldn't get into Hinterland. I've watched Prey and enjoyed it but I think John Simm is a wonderful actor. Watching Happy Valley after dinner

I am really enjoying these new dramas. I do sometimes wish there was some good light entertainment - sort of a modern version of Jane Austen.

So many dark murder stories on telly!

I love British dramas/mini series...something we don't get this side of the pond.

Shetland...I think this is becoming the Scottish equivalent of Midsommer Murders.

I assume you mean Shetland.

Broadchurch was set in Dorset.

I see the American remake (also with David Tennant) and called Gracepoint is to be filmed in BC.
