In need of comforting TV recommendations

[SingingSands]

Had some horrible shock news this morning and feeling very sad. What are your go to TV shows/films for a bit of comfort viewing? I am actually logged on working (doing the bare minimum it must be said), but wanted something on in the background to keep my mind calm.

Thanks all.

So sorry to hear you have had a difficult morning and a shock, do you have people you can talk to? My go to shows are Downton Abbey and the Good Place. Mrs Harris goes to Paris is also great fluff/comfort viewing

The detectorists, Mortimer and whitehouse go fishing, call the midwife (I don't know why I find that comforting as it always makes me cry)

Sorry about your sad news 💐
I like the gilmore girls & friends too.

Grace and Frankie

All creatures great and small (channel 5 version) is the ultimate low peril tv. Sorry you are having a difficult day.

Midsummer Murders. 23 seasons so will keep you going for a while!

Definitely second Detectorists, also The Durrells.

Sorry you've had bad news OP 💐
Gavin & Stacey would be my choice.

Doc Martin

Yet another vote for the Detectorists. And the fishing programme with Bob Mortimer.

Another vote for Mrs Harris.
Similar one is Ladies in Black
Fantastic Mr Fox
Rushmore
Groundhog Day

Second that

You are all so kind, thank you

These are all wonderful suggestions and I am switching on All Creatures - had completely forgotten how much I loved this, it is the perfect comfort TV.

Schitt's Creek and Poirot for me. I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough time, OP.

@SingingSands the new season actually starts tonight on channel 5 if you need a bit more

Is Early Doors still on iplayer? OP if you have a northern bone in your body you will love it. A piece of better largely unknown situation comedy packed full of pathos you will not find.

I’m so sorry OP.

Schitt’s Creek and Grace and Frankie are really gentle and funny x
