Recommend me a gentle tv drama

[Treaclebee]

I am currently making my way through All Creatures Great and Small and absolutely love it.

Have recently also done Lovejoy, Monarch of the Glen, The Good Life and Butterflies.

Can you think of anything else I could watch that is just a gentle pleasant story, without crime, murder, violence, negativity and angst? I'm particularly struggling to think of anything made more recently and frequently end up turning to older series.

I used to love Goodnight Sweetheart with Nicholas Lyndhurst. That was good gentle "Sunday night" telly from what I remember.

Heartbeat

Detectorists.

Kingdom
Where the heart is
Downton Abbey
Upstairs Downstairs
The waltons!

Not sure if you can find this anywhere but used to love 'The House of Eliot'

Dinnerladies? Although I suppose not really a drama, it is very warm and no crime or violence.

Parks and Rec
Dad's Army

The durrels?

We need someone to re make all creatures great and small!

Ballykissangel?
Downtown Abbey?

Oh yes @CaptainMyCaptain Detectorists is brilliant. I'd happily watch them sit under that tree with their flasks talking about last night's University Challenge for hours! So sweet and lovely.

It's hard enough to find things without violence. You might need to put up with a bit of negativity and angst. DH doesn't watch much drama anymore for precisely this reason.

Possible comedies: Ghosts, Mum, Dinnerladies.

The Darling Buds of May

Just watching the durrells it’s brilliant

The Darling buds of May was my absolute fave as a kid - I used to feel really upset when it ended and I knew it was time for bed and school the next day! I have been watching it again recently. I also love miss marple, the older ones with Joan hickson are the best imo. And keeping up appearances for a giggle.

Another vote for the Detectorists, it's just lovely.

Sanditon, currently on ITV on Sunday evenings.

Chesapeake Shores! (Netflix)

It is modern but set in a gorgeous location (Maryland coast but shot in Canada) and very gentle, family oriented viewing. It's my respite from the real world at the moment. Slightly cheesy but still v calming.

Gilmore Girls

Another vote for Ghosts (bbc)

Ooh and the Detectorists (when i could stop myself from going "those women are both far too hot for those men!") You have to suspend your disbelief a bit.

If the BBC decide to put Mum back on iPlayer, that's well worth a watch.

Another vote for The Durrels. I'm really enjoying it

@Helenluvsrob this is apparently happening!

Lark Rise to Candleford...
