Programmes that make you feel warm

[LeaveTheClocksAlone]

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)

Nigel Slater

It used to be 'To The Manor Born' or 'The Good Life'. The music especially!

Also 'The Golden Girls' and 'Cagney and Lacey' and 'Sex and the City'.

There was a series in the early 90s called Tales of the City which I Loved and was so going to move to that street!

Forgot the Detectorists! Such lovely warm telly.

Bluey, with my 11 yr old DS 🥰

Fraiser. It is still comforting TV after all these years. They're all slightly annoying, but endearingly so. Even Eddie.

Yes thank you @AutumnalLeaves38 , he dodged the sepsis by the skin of his teeth and lived, he's here with me now. 😊💕

@SeatonCarew That's wonderful to hear 😊

Michael Portillo’s railway journeys with his trusty Bradshaw’s guide…

Unsure if it's been mentioned yet, but on BBC "Have I got news for you" with Paul Merton and Ian Hislop as captains with a different host each week plus a guest on each of the captains' teams. I love it when someone from one of the political parties are guests as they get the pee right totally taken and they're usually equally laughing at themselves too.

Ian and Paul are SO rapier witted and make me laugh - they're like naughty, knowledgeable schoolboys with the audience as co-conspirators. Ian in particular reminds me of mischievous "Just William" from the Richmal Cromptan books.

Bill Bailey was the host on the episode I saw last night - talented man and more than held his own. Funny man. 🌹

I feel exactly the same. Hate fishing but love this and love their friendship.

Oh, and Derry Girls!

And Teachers....I'm realising that most of the shows I watch, are ones that give me a feeling of warn comfort.

I watch the last 2 episodes of Derry girls regularly because i think it was an amazing piece of television Orla dancing 😍

Mrsjayy, it really is great. I watched a segment on a programme once, it was a lady that worked in the wardrobe department for Derry Girls. Honestly, her love for the programme really shone through. It was lovely.

Me and my adult dd bonded over it, it was something we watched together or spoke about it once she moved into her own house, I forgot how much I love it.

The good life, I’ve rewatched it so much over the years

Binge watching this at the moment. It's so relaxing. RIP Ted.

What??? Ted isn’t dead? Is he? I just checked his Instagram page.

Early Doors and Goodwin Sweetheart are two of my comfort shows.

I’ve started watching the Seaside Hotel and I love it! Thanks a million x
