Title: What's Your Favourite TV Channel.
Post by: Raven on August 30, 2022, 10:27:52 PM
Mine WAS Alibi, but since we went to Freeview I lost it.  :cry: I love Detective Things especially the other worldly ones. Even after 2 years I still miss it, there was programmes I watched every day. I can get very few of them on Freeview. I loved.

Grimm.
Murdoch Mysteries.
Miss Fisher Mysteries.
Rizzoli & Isles.
Sleepy Hollow.
The Dresden Files....to name a few.

I don't watch live telly now, but I used to like BBC 3 on a Saturday night with foreign dramas like The Bridge.  These Scandinavian countries do great crime dramas, Wallender was another and The Killing, Trapped from Iceland - too many to list.
Netflix do have a few and I'm watching one about a fire department set in Ostend.

Got to be Talking Pictures, the old films are great and all white people.  ITV3 to watch old Morse, Endevour, Lewis, Vera,  Midsommer Murders etc. I do like some of BBC4 programmes I only watch GB new channel now.  The only BBC1 programme I have watched for ages is Shetland.

Jacq I watch GB News but now at 10am there are two black women on, Mercy and another woman I forget her name but they're not very good.  It was better when Patrick Christy was co presenting with Mercy.  At 10am I switch to Talk Radio TV with that Julia whats her name ? double barrel name, also forgotten !!! :yay:

Yes Mark Stein is good and Nigel of course.   I'm not struck on Neil Oliver his voice drones on a bit  :cool:

I like Neil Oliver, but I think he's better on his proper subject, history, archaeology, and all things past. I would have loved him as my History Weapons Grade at school.
He's just not the same on that News Channel.
