PBS ran the complete series Downton Abbey four times over ten days with only occasional pledge drive breaks. PBS' and Amazon's air rights end tonight.
HBO MAX is currently airing the Downton Abbey movie.

Grantchester season finale is tonight already?! Seriously? Seems like the season just started. They only do 6 episodes a season? That's ridiculous. I love this show and will miss it.

OMG! I watched Grantchester this morning! So lovely was the moment of Leonard and Mrs. C in the chapel... teared up. Loved that Mrs. C invited Daniel to Will's party.

I watched Grantchester but I miss the other priest, he was the reason I started watching this series.
The same night was the season finale of Beecham House and I remember Babyjaxmom saying it will end on a cliffhanger and I was waiting for this because everything seemed to close up nicely but then a major cliffhanger the last minute of the finale. I can't believe they won't continue the series, if they were sure not to continue they could have had a nice ending, not this major cliffhanger.

I thought the same about Beecham House... I read Babyjaxmom's msg regarding no Season 2... I figured the producers thought they were a shoe-in to be renewed for a Season 2...
I realize this is a TV show... but I was mystified at the utter cluelessness of John Beecham to not think a couple steps ahead regarding how desperate the bad guy is and what he knows about his son... I was stunned that he didn't think his son would be in danger.

Oh I loved that movie as a kid. Watched it on our B&W TV with my parents years ago!

I read that Jennifer Kirby who plays Valerie on Call the Midwife is leaving the show.
I did see a trailer for a new All Creatures Great & Small that looks good. I believe it is due on PBS in January.

I don't know about All Creatures Great and Small. I read the books years ago, and they always made me cry. I can't watch shows with animals in them, cause I can't take it when anything happens to them.

I posted this in the Brit thread but perhaps I should have posted here...
Starting tonight on PBS:
9pm Flesh & Blood (UK version with Imelda Staunton)
10 pm Cobra (with Robert Carlyle)
Both look like they're worth checking out.

Watched one of the best ever interview shows which will air Monday evenings on PBS -- Tell Me More With Kelly Corrigan. Monday evening was only second show. She interviewed James Corden. Wish I could know them personally and call them friends. Hope the show will eventually be available on DVD. I want to have it permanently. Next Monday she will interview Jennifer Garner.

I stopped watching Cobra, but I'm hooked on Roadkill on Masterpiece (Hugh Laurie, so different from Dr. House).

We're waiting till all the episodes have dropped, so we can binge. We've gotten spoiled by Netflix. Waiting a week between episodes seems so "old school" these days. Besides, DH and I can't remember what happened in the last episode by a week later!

I too am part of the binge brigade Babyjaxmom. My tombstone would definitely not say, Here lies Sugar, a woman of infinite patience.

In the Chicago area you can watch all of Roadkill and other PBS programs now. Is it Chicago WTTW or PBS nationally that offers streaming platform Passport for annual $60 donation. If you love everything on PBS it is well worth it. Tax deductible.

Color, I bought the PBS Passport specifically for that reason. Last time I looked, all the episodes were not yet available. I'll check again.
ETA: Nope. Only 2 episodes available, even though I have passport. Bummer!

Don't miss the "Call the Midwife" Christmas special. It's streaming on the PBS app now.

I watched it the other night Babyjaxmom and as usual enjoyed it. I hope Call the Midwife will be back with a new season soon. It was odd that they didn't have any behind the scenes of the Christmas special or a nod to when it will return. Stupid Covid continues to wreck havoc with my shows.

On Sunday PBS is starting the new All Creatures Great and Small series. I hope it is as good as the books, or the original series.
