For PurplePixie, (& others) check the Talking Pictures channel, lots of older films and TV, also some back-in-time little films called 'Look at Life' - which remind us of the informative little films you used to get at the pictures?
We love the original Maigret series on there (Sat evenings) and they also show the French series with Bruno Cremer (90s), slower pace, and subtitles, but they're done very well. They've also got Worzel Gummidge, Out of Town, Public Eye, Gideon's Way, Roger Moore in The Saint, Rumpole of the Bailey, and this week a Doctor film, and The Card, with Alec Guinness, Glynis Johns and Valerie Hobson.
You can watch Talking Pictures TV on Virgin 445, Freesat 306, Freeview or Youview 82 or on the Sky digital satellite platform, channel 328.
Death in Paradise has just restarted (BBC), and old episodes are (like Father Brown) almost endlessly on Drama channel. Alibi channel has some good detective series, if you like that sort of thing.
On C5 now on Tuesday evenings is Dogs Behaving Very Badly, just so funny as the host tries to find the key to problem dogs while gently educating the many daft owners on the show?! And past series would be on the 'iplayer' My5?
