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.

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

I LOVED "House of Eliot"

And, of course, Mapp and Lucia!

The original series with Prunella Scales and Geraldine McEwan, though, NOT the remake!

Agreed!

Another vote for Ghosts, earlier this year. Just wonderful, gentle and funny.

Loved Lovejoy. When I was on maternity leave watched this back to back with Heartbeat, happy memories.

Read yesterday that another easy watch from the 70s and 80s is being remade - Hart to Hart, with the original cast! (though probably not the dog).

I watched the Durrells thanks to this thread. I loved it but didn't realise that there's only 2 of 4 series on Netflix Sad
