definately a good watch and just as I am off to holiday in Tenerife. I KEEP LISTENING FOR THE GUNFIRE TO START AND HAVE CHECKED FOR GOOD HIDING PLACES.

I too have been watching the fourth series of Ghosts. I am glad they have continued. After that, I will watch Professor T. There is a new season of Father Brown to premiere in January 2023, so will watch that. I like to view historical documentaries, wildlife programmes, gentle comedies, mild detective shows (limited goriness and no excessive gun use). I also re-watch many times a lot of completed series from the past, my favourite being One Foot in the Grave. I like some childrenās programs like Catweazle, Worzel Gummidge (old and new), and I quite enjoy the Horrible Histories episodes.

Loved Catweazle and Wurzel Gummidge with Jon Pertwee (my favourite Dr Who).
I also canāt resist the repeats of the original Upstairs Downstairs, another one from when I was a kid. Apparently I cried when the original series ended š„²
I recently watched the White Queen and The White Princess. Not sure how historically accurate there are but a good watch.

Aye, Pertwee was my favourite too. I asked my partner for an Inverness cape for Christmas but, unfortunately, she looked at the price tags and replied, āYou must be jokingā.

Just finished watching Guilt and The Dry, both quite good. I rather enjoyed Guilt, second series was challenging in so far as it gets involved with characters having multiple motivations, and the subplots need a fair amount of dot joining to keep up, but it was well written and well acted.
I use Britbox for my viewing, itās one of the cheapest streaming services and has the advantage of being able to watch new episodes of programmes that havenāt been released on BBC iPlayer, plus it has all the classic television that I have enjoyed over the years. I just finished watching, a few months ago, all The Goodies episodes again.
Jon Pertwee was my favourite Doctor too - I loved the stories with the Brigadeer and apparently many of them were filmed in the chalk quarries near where I used to live.
Thank you @DDMH for reminding me about New Tricks. My fatigue has got much better and I no longer need a day time rest, but I do still appreciate going to bed much earlier than before and an episode of New Tricks in a warm bed before sleep is just the ticket

Hi @FionaB1
Iād forgotten about the Brigadier! I sneaked a look at the latest episode at the weekend in which a few of the old Doctors made guest appearances, hoping Jonās son Sean Pertwee might take a turn in the part but sadly he didnāt

Iām not really one for goth and gore, but I do like Tim Burton, and I recently finished watching Wednesday on Netflix which was well written and had a superb cast, not to mention, the cinematography which can be so lacking in television at times. I guess because Tim Burton directed the first four episodes, he brought his signature cinematic style to the small screen, and used stop-motion as opposed to CGI.
I shall pitch in again also with Click and Collect (2018) Christmas film with Stephen Merchant, not the most original of stories but a well written, gentle comedy with a festive theme. Itās free on Amazon.

Have you come across this name ? ? - you need to.
Look on BBC iPlayer
Search her name or Cunk, a number of episodes available only for another three weeks. Grab her before she goes, you wonāt regret it. Even worth a repeat view.
Philomena Cunk, her name will stay with you.
Also Mandy
. . . and Christmas special.
a serious recommendation
donāt miss - she is free
Look at Cunk on Earth

Wot no Happy Valley?
Gosh no, far too dramatic for me. Iām a wimp, my partner watches Casualty, but I struggle with the realism. I tend to exist in a silly, make-believe world

Iāve never been able to watch sports on telly, but am pleased that Robot Wars is back. Itās the only sports programme I enjoy. Have just watched the first episode of the recent event, UK versus the Rest of the World. Some amusing battles, and the UK are doing very well.

I agree about sport in general and Robot Wars in particular.
I reckon the Red Bull soap box races are also an amusing watch every now and again.
Inventive folly rules!!

I havenāt seen this whacky race, will have to keep my eye out for it. 
Have nearly finished the whole run of New Tricks - sad eh. What shall I try next. Will be watching Casualty with my daughter and also have done Downton and Call the Midwife. Need a new run of a gentleish, not too complicated, formulaic series. Any suggestions?

New tricks was excellent, and I too have watched it from beginning to end. I really enjoyed Professor T, not sure if there is a new series, it features Ben Miller as a professor of criminology. Itās an ITV programme, also available on Amazon and Britbox.
