My wife and I recently subscribed to AcornTV and Britbox via our Amazon Prime streaming service and were pleasantly surprised to find all these incredibly high quality British crime dramas. Over the past couple months we've been binge watching shows like Foyle's War, Midsomer Murders, The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, Silent Witness, etc and absolutely have fallen in love with them. As an American I feel like someone should have told us sooner that the Brits had created all these high quality programs because we would have definitely watched this stuff sooner!
I would go with when Del (from “only fools and horses”) walks home drunk, and decides to sing the song "One Voice", which starts a riot among the neighbours ( a reference to Peckham riots, I believe!)
I watch British TV shows (USA citizen here) and whenever I watch shows, recently watched This Country, but people always go to remote areas to walk with people or just talk or hangout. I feel like most of these shows take place in more remote areas than I am used to here living in the suburbs of New York City, but are these big open scenic areas that accessible or that close to where people live or work or go to school?
Follow up questions, to me these places are gorgeous but the people in these shows seem so used to it like it's not as impressive anymore.
Sincerely,
Just curious
For me it would have to be 'In For A Penny' when they make the contestants eat a steak bake hanging off fishing line 🤢

How many of them actually make it across the pond? Which channels aired them? As streaming in the last decade or so made this question redundant?
Like, how on earth does someone's appearance have any bearing on her sports prowess? It's not a beauty pageant.
It isn't a high-pitched screech, it's like a "caw", seems close to a raven but I'm not sure... I guess it must be a British bird though.

For example: I would consider "The chase" to be a low return high effort show as you have to get through 3 rounds of questions each and the ample winnings rarely go above 20k and that then gets split up so you're lucky to walk away with 10k and potentially had to carry a knob head through with you.
I was hoping y'all could help me figure out what font this is. It's from a British television show from the late 60s. Anyone have any ideas?

I remember a single static shot of something resembling a worm drinking from a well accompanied by slurping sounds. I remember it kind of had the same quality of animation as those old Mr Men shorts from the 1980's. Very cheaply produced. I recall there maybe being something adjacent to giants as well, so possibly a series on English/Scottish/Irish mythology? I know this isn't much to go on but that scene is sticking out so distinctly in my mind.
EDIT: here's an illustration of the shot that i can vaguely remember. there was no animation, just this image of a small medieval kind of town with the worm/snake thing taking up almost all the well. accompanied by drinking sound effects.
I think that the idea was that this village had to keep giving milk to the creature to stop it from eating them instead, kind of like a dragon.
