Poldark, historical drama
The Musketeers
Peeky Blinders
Heartbeat, vintage crime set in 60's
Only Fools and Horses, comedy, but you probably know that one.

I'll have another think...

Why not go the whole hog and get a bittorrent program and download the TV programs as they become available from a web site like UK's TV Chaos (usually within an hour of going to air)?

http://tvchaosuk.com/

There are plenty of bittorrent programs out there personally I use one called µTorrent 2.2.1 - it is an old version but later ones are a bit bloated.

If you stick to small TV sites like UK Chaos then you probably don't need a VPN service but if you get more adventurous then it might be a good idea.

Blue Murder. It's being repeated at the moment but doesn't end until 12:40 am but it's so good we normally sit up. Stars Caroline Quentin.

The Coroner, starring Claire Goose and filmed in the Dartmouth area of Devon. Great acting.

Waking the Dead?-I just mention that as Claire Goose was in it as younger actress. But lust aside it`s great
