The difference between Brits and everyone else

[tirediron]

I don't know anything about the Spice Girls. My exposure to British culture leans more toward Agatha Christie.

That's Dame Agatha Christie. She was a wonderful author. It's funny though, her most prominent sleuth is from Belgium.

Er-kewl Pwa-roe - never miss one when PBS is playing them.

Are you CRAZY??? Do you not have NETFLIX???? They have all the Poirot episodes made in England with David Suchet. They are marvelous. I believe they did every Poirot story written.

Homey don't Netflix, but PBS runs the whole series a couple of times a year.

Have you seen Bergerac set on the Island of Jersey

No, but I sure do wish our Jersey were an island and could just float away

I don't know for sure, is that the one with the Hotel that is cut off from the island during hight tide? I am just starting season 9 and will watch the Five Little Pigs tonight.

Sorry I had to get the Banana Bread out of the oven and flip the bird in the smoker.

Man, it's worth it just for the Poirot series and the wonderful documentaries.

Call Vito and Rocky and have them sink it in the east river.

They say there are beautiful places in our Jersey as well, and I'm sure there are. All I know is northern Jersey still smells like AquaNet And driving through on the turnpike is never the highlight of any road trip.

Of course Wanker Idaho runs third to Newfoundland, Canada with the town of Dildo. The winner has to be Fuc#ing Australia. Wouldn't you like to work the Tourist Desk there?


And how appropriate, Canada and Australia, part of the British Commonwealth. My, my, my you naughty Brits you.

Morse
Frost
Poirot - of course the David Suchet ones
House (he's British darn it)
Sherlock Holmes - the older ITV version!
Midsummer Murders (the John Nettles era)
Silent Witness

The UK does crime dramas right!

The USA do nice action flicks but whilst I do like a few they are more silly at times - eg NCIS
That said some of the older like Quincy and Murder She Wrote are entertaining if not as dramatic

 

[tirediron]

Frost is the best of all! 'Though pretty much anything with David Jason it is on my 'must watch' list. Leave us also not forget possibly the greatest comedy series in recent times, "Jeeves & Wooster".

Quite. Let's not forget:
Cadfael
Inspector Alleyn
Dalziel and Pascoe
Maigret (although I just can't see Rowan Atkinson as the lead)
Vera

NCIS? Silly? Absolutely not. Remember that whole plotline about them inexplicably going after a french arms dealer named The Frog? That's quality drama right there. I especially loved how they managed to setup a sting at an airport in Canada in like 15 minutes flat. Like that wouldn't require 4,000 tons of paperwork and 16 years to do in real life.
