More British Murder Mysteries

Boy, British TV is fantastic. With a satellite dish, we get a few more channels than those without one, and two of our channels carry some very cool shows. It all got started with Midsomer Murders, of which we've now seen all the episodes. When we ran out of those, we tried out Rosemary & Thyme, which is terrific because it's light and easy and fun, though the story lines and the acting aren't always of the highest quality. While we make our way through those (there are two or three new ones each week on TVO -- TV Ontario), we have now started on two more: one is called 55 Degrees North. This is both Mr. Pirate and my favourite. Such high quality Hollywood couldn't touch with a long-barrrel shotgun. Also, one called The Last Detective. Also excellent. Last night we recorded (hopefully, we were in the middle of a big thunderstorm) another one called Inspector Lynley. It gets some pretty good ratings on IMDB, so we'll have to see about that one, too. Why can't America even touch these shows?

PS: Does anyone out there like Dwight Yoakam?
