Brit Box anyone?

[tanteva]

As of yesterday Brit Box is available in Sweden. The anglophile in me WANTS IT!

Anyone having it, and have any input?

 

[AnaSantos]

Sorry, I don´t have it, Eva!!

 

[Madi]

no I don't have it.
we do have BBC first in our regular tv subscription and I love that!

Now I'm jealous. We cannot get any British channels, unless we sign up for some super expensive subscription that gives us like 85% channels we have zero interest in (sport and kid channels).

We have it and like it. It has some of our favorite shows.

 

[nightshadow]

I have it too and enjoy it.

 

[Betty Jo]

I have it and like many of the shows. I also have Acorn and like many of the shows on there too.

@scribler @nightshadow @Betty Jo Tell me, what shows do you watch?

 

[Betty Jo]

Here are few I like - newer ones and old. I’m a real mystery buff:

Agatha Raisin
McDonald and Dodds
Death in Paradise
Vera
Midsomer Murders
Inspector Morse
The Brokenwood Mysteries
Line of Duty

I have seen lots of promos for it and the shows all look like interesting. Might be worth a shot.

I'm so with you here! But I do pay for Netflix already & I can't quit, too many shows I'm following there.

Oh! Morse. Might just be worth the money just to see that. I saw a few episodes when it was on Swedish TV, but thought it was a bit boring. I'm older now & I've seen all of Endevour & all of Inspector Lewis, I really should fill in the gap. LOL

We've had it here for awhile, but don't subscribe. We LOVE shows about Brits, though and can get pretty much all of them on all the streaming devices we have.

and bbc1 and bbc2 are also included!! but i don't watch that often.
all the detectives are on bbc first.

 

[scribler]

@tanteva Most of the ones we enjoy are older shows. We should try some new ones. lol
Are You Being Served?
Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister
Thin Blue Line
Vicar of Dibley
Good Neighbors
As Time Goes By
Red Dwarf
Doctor Who (of course)

 

[nightshadow]

I really loved all of the Catherine Cookson Dramas. Also Inspector Morse, Father Brown, Cadfael, and anything by Charles Dickens. I used Britbox to re-watch the entire Downton Abbey series in sequence.

 

[felis]

I'm not sure what is included at Brit Box, but I'm massive fan of the british art. Unfortunately, everything here comes late, because have to be dubbing. So some of these shows are old, but here is my favorites list:
Strike
Midsomer Murders
Foyle’s War
The Fall
Temple
Deep State
Humans
The End of the F...ing World
Brassic

 

[ClaireG]

I'm English and I am saying watch ALL bejillion seasons of Line of Duty, it is amazing.

 

[tanteva]

Oh, I loved Foyle's war!

2 other great British shows set during WW2 is Bletchley Circle & Land Girls.
