If I really love the 90’s Pride and Prejudice series, what else might I like?

I need something to binge. I’ve got Netflix, Amazon Prime and some Sky channels and On Demand stuff through Virgin Media.

Any suggestions?

It’s v old now (1970s IIRC) and a bit slow to get going, but for a real binge-watch (24 episodes!) I’ve always loved The Pallisers - all 6 Victorian era novels by Anthony Trollope.
It’s got everything from an heiress pressured into marriage, to someone wrongly accused of murder, to the disappearance of a £10k (in those days!) diamond necklace, with a political thread through it all.
One of the main characters (Glencora Palliser) was brilliantly portrayed by Susan Hampshire.

Talking of very old programmes, in spite of the sets that occasionally look like they might wobble, the original Upstairs Downstairs has stood the test of time and I'm really enjoying it :)

Can you get Much Ado anywhere? I've been looking but I can't find it. I have even put out a request to my local charity shop! [/quote]
Not streaming I'm afraid, you can get the DVD's for a few quid second hand though!
