Only Fools and Horses (the cluttered but very cozy looking flat), all the lovely friendships and Grandad's dinners ♥️

Downton Abbey (something about it makes me want to get into bed on a dark night with the lamp on)

The Crown. The music just mesmerizes me

Gavin and Stacey. So much love and affection in both families

Derek with Ricky G. Again, so much love in that care home

(Side note - I absolutely love Friends but wouldn't say it relaxes me or that I'd want to be in their shoes. Too much dating / job struggling! More of a Saturday afternoon thing than Sunday night viewing... oh never mind I know what I mean)

Benidorm. Not at all what I expected, it's very funny and comforting all at the same time.

Absolutely. 😍

The Last Tango in Halifax is lovely. I loved it.

Been watching Clocking Off on iplayer recently. I love the nostalgia of it. It was set in the very early noughties, but my goodness it looks so dated.

I second Benidorm. It’s laugh out loud funny.

We love it so much, I walked down the "aisle" (it was a wedding in the woods) to the theme tune.

"Twin Peaks" and "Tales Of The Unexpected" ?! 😮 😮

Crikey, PPs have far more robust constitutions than mine, if they consider THOSE warm and gentle viewing.

Both brilliant, but certainly not what I'd turn to for an easy, 'comfort watch'.

For me, that's always Northern Exposure: quirky characters, community spirit, clever humour...a real gem.
