Why no D&Z, why not THE BILL or THE SWEENEY? Who knows? And it looks as if Amazon has the exclusive window on Morse and Lewis, both, probably because of copyright, e.g., PBS/Masterpiece owns U.S. broadcast licensing. LOVEJOY, as I noted, is a budget-buster.

Pam Ferris was a huge star in Britain before this, thanks to her role in "The Darling Buds of May", where she co-starred with David Jason, whom I love from "Only Fools and Horses", another impenetrable slang and accent British sit-com that has never made it here, but we buy all the DVDs because it is one of the funniest damn shows I've ever seen. Period. Especially the Christmas specials. (Rent them on Netflix.) Felicity Kendal has always had a nice touch of acerbic, and has been Tom Stoppard's muse for decades. The two do have great chemistry, which is half of what makes a mystery show work for me. <br /><br />Eve Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015761600962360110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-45532252717289673142013-01-23T10:16:44.867-05:002013-01-23T10:16:44.867-05:00Thanks for the recommendation, David.

I've just been catching up on Brit shows via Netflix and Hulu Plus on my new iPad: Inspector Lewis, Sherlock, Midsomer Murders, and yes, Downton Abbey. I'm dismayed to find that not everything I want to see is available, including series 4 and 5 of Inspector Lewis and the later Inspector Morses (I have the earlier ones on VHS, for what it's worth). Nor does Dalziel & Pascoe, which I've never seen, appear anywhere online that I can tell. Any suggestions on how to see any of these without getting DVDs (which I can't use on my iPad and aren't worth seeing on my ancient TV) and without paying money to Amazon? Oh, and last night I abandoned the Brits and went back to West Wing--still one of the best American shows ever.Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.com
