Not sure of the channel but Servant is currently on our play list and we're watching Changeling and Yellow Jackets. It is baby based but I think you'll be fine.

Vikings / Last Kingdom?

If you like the old fashioned vibe of Call the Midwife try the 'new' version of All Creatures Great and Small, all 4 series are on My5. I also really enjoyed Five Bedrooms on iPlayer, both are fairly gentle, undemanding and have lots of episodes to get through.

I'd give the Real Housewives franchise a go. I got into it earlier this year. If you enjoy them are so many series they will see you through pregnancy, breastfeeding, weaning and on into the school years!

@SleepingStandingUp oh iv never given Vikings/last kingdom a go - and will check out the servant! The changeling is quite heavy I'm taking it slowly!

@Cecilisacaterpillar they sound like some good ones to throw in the mix - I loved call the midwife a lot!

@Middleagedmeangirls Oh iv not watched ANY - which one would you start with?

I'd go for Beverly Hills. The clothes and the houses are AMAZING.
