I'm Confused, I looked up Dr Foster on IMDB and it describes it as "An embittered Doctor travels to South West England and his simple day trip becomes an emotional roller coaster ride that will shape him and his world view for the rest of his life." ????

Now to Vera: Have you seen her in Kate and Koji. Very funny, very politically incorrect - they seem to have made one episode and then disappeared. Pity, it was a good show if you are not easily offended. |

When I did that, it showed up as Dr. Foster: A Woman Scorned. I don't know if it ever had that expanded title. I had seen it before only as Dr. Foster. That title is based on a nursery rhyme, so my guess is it has been used quite a few times. Maybe IMDB either knew more about the title or changed it to avoid confusion. (I think they would have needed permission to do that, but who knows.) That thing about titles not being copyrighted can cause confusion. A woman in my book club read the wrong book one time. In the discussion, nobody knew what she was talking about, until we figured out the titles were the same. (Actually, the book she read sounded a lot better than the one the rest of us had. Now, we always make sure to include the author’s name when picking the next book.) Boomer

Another British channel is Acorn and they have some great shows like ‘Line of Duty’ and ‘Happy Valley’.
Another channel is Netflix and they have ‘The Great British Baking Show’ and ‘The Crown’ which I’ve watched numerous times. Interesting factoid is you can watch ‘The Great Canadian, American, New Zealand, and Australian Baking Show’ but only on YouTube and the quality isn’t very good and you can’t watch them in order.

Northumberland/Newcastle area. The local accent is very hard to understand, and the Vera series is as near English as it gets. Northumberland is a very scenic area, but the local accent is hard for many to understand. We use sub-titles for most shows now, as 'Kings English' has long disappeared from public broadcasting. Another series worth watching is Luther if you can get it. Idris Elba stars. It's brilliant. There is a Christmas Special of Vera. My wife and I are watching it tonight. Haven't seen Midsommer Murders mentioned. Worth a watch. Why anyone would want to live in or near that village, I fail to understand, half the population get murdered weekly! |

PS. A documentary series from BBC, Blue Planet is spectacular, and well worth a viewing.
You do not have to agree, or disagree with the underlying 'Climate Change' message, the photography and shear scale of it, is a wonder to behold. The presenter, David Attenborough, is 97 years old. Almost a object of amazement on his own. |

I wish it were not canceled. I read that it did not have good ratings. Maybe the audience was driven away because of that obnoxious laugh track. I have never understood the reason for laugh tracks, at all, and this one was beyond the usual awful because it was startlingly LOUD…….. But we liked the show so much that we decided to continue in spite of the stupid laugh track. Seriously. It was so annoying that we had a conversation about whether we wanted to give up watching because of it. The laugh track seemed to calm down, a little, a few episodes in. . .Either that or we became immune to it because the show is funny and well worth watching. Kate’s phone calls from Spencer are classic. Her insults for everyone are so good, and her obsession with the bench is a clever piece of writing. Anyway, thanks. Like you, I am sorry to see Kate and Koji canceled. “Vera” was perfect as Kate. She is quite an actress. Boomer

He had a hard job following John Nettles. If you fancy a good laugh, Yes Prime Minister takes some beating. Very British! |

Can't explain why it creeps me out so to hear "Dr. House" speak in his native accent. :-) |
