A TV edition this time, so here are a few television show favorites. Some of these are BBC originals while others are Masterpiece Theatre. Rest assured they are all superb!<\/p>\n

1. Downton Abbey<\/strong> : The most gloriously addictive drama of all, I saw Season 1 (all 7 hours of it) in 2 (week)days flat, every waking moment I got! And I specify weekdays because I went to work, did all my usual household chores, chauffeured the kids around etc. , AND watched this. Basically I slept very little – but it was so worth it \ud83d\ude42 ! This is a period piece about the fate of Lord Grantham and his family in 1900s England. Netflix has Season 1, and Huluplus has Season 2. Season 3 airs on PBS in January 2013 – you have till then to catch up!<\/p>\n

2. Agatha Christie’s Poirot <\/strong>: David Suchet is the rotund Belgian detective, and Netflix has 6 series (each series has a number of episodes) of these – a real treat!<\/p>\n

3. Pride and Prejudice<\/strong> : Gather around all you Austen fans! Here’s the book accurate version via the BBC. I really like the actress playing Elizabeth, Elizabeth Garvie – all sparkling eyes and impetuous temper; quite Lizzie-like!<\/p>\n

4. Sherlock Holmes<\/strong> : I am not a big fan of Robert Downey Jr. , and I haven’t liked either of his Holmes movies. But I quite like Jeremy Brett. He is the Holmes I picture when I re-read any of Arthur Conan Doyle’s books, Downey but a hyped up (and branded up, if you will) version of the original. This is available to stream as individual episodes, each about 1.5 hours long.<\/p>\n

5. Wives and Daughters<\/strong> : From the BBC\/PBS stable comes this Masterpiece Theater series about a country doctor and his clear-hearted daughter Molly. In 4 tempestuous episodes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
