What have you heard about Selfridges, is there a second season? Also Inspector Lewis, is he coming back from retirement and Endeavour - we got three Endeavours and grew to enjoy them and then they were gone!

Default downton etc

Mr Selfridge season 2 will debut in US in 2014

Lewis may still return to television in 2014, either as another series or as a one-off.

Endeavour is coming back for a second series. Did not watch, as did not fancy it!

I was absolutely hooked on DA. My great grandparents were servants in a grand house. Great grandmother was a cook, and her husband my (great grandpa) was chauffeur beginning with horses and carriage, then learned to drive cars. Their daughter, my grandmother, was a scullery maid, much like the long suffering girl reporting to DA's Daisy. My parents believed in the benefits of a good education, which broke the trend. Additionally I am thankful I grew up in America

Great news about Doc Martin. Is it going to be a continuation of the one we are still running, or a new series with a new story line?

By the way, once I got through the first episode of Endeavour (which was awful) the rest were really good, he is a good little actor and adopted some of the same mannerisms as John Thaw making it plausible that he was a young Morse.

By the way, PBS ran an episode of Masterpiece "The Lady Vanishes" Tuppance Middleton this past Sunday, the cast was superb with many of the old time British Stars, I even recognized the woman from the ancient Doris Day/James Stewart move "The Man Who Knew too Much" or Que Sera, Sera, but it was very difficult to follow. We had absolutely no idea what it was about and actually turned it off about half way through. Is this a series and hopefully it gets better?

We had a really weird Doc Martin last night - it was the movie where he is a gyno in London and married, and the wife has been sleeping with all his friends and he leaves and goes off to Port Isaac. He looked about 21 years old. It was the oddest thing to watch, but better than no Doc Martin!

By the way, what do you think of Silk, we are having a hard time getting into it!

Darling Son-in law sent me a BlueRay player with WiFi for my birthday, and we're over the moon happy watching streaming Netflix! ALL the wonderful British shows we love are on it, and we've been working our way through all 77 episodes of Midsomer Murders. We're up to season 10!
I'm ready to cancel HBO and just watch Netflix.

Of course we have to turn on the captions to understand what they're saying, because those Brits don't speak English.
