British series, mini-series and dramas .....

Something to look forward to but it's going to be a while:

It's on my list already - classy stuff and a good tribute to Morse.

Finished Merlin recently. It's a slow series but enjoyable.
Watching My Family.

Anyone watched Southcliffe?

Following a raft of shootings in an English market town, the crimes are retold through the eyes of a journalist and the tragedies' victims.

Not too bad, though IMHO not brilliant

Not nearly as good as Morse though ...

My main problem is that I can't see Endeavour "becoming" Morse.

I also find that - when comparing the two - "Endeavour" is less sophisticated in the elegance of the plots.

That said, "Lewis" (currently showing) is a worthy successor to "Morse".

Also worth watching: "Shetland"

Roger Allam as Endeavour's DI Fred Thursday steals the show IMO.

You need to watch inspector George Gently if you like Morse...

Very good, You should try the Welsh Police Thriller "Y Gwyll / Hinterland" http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2013/jul/30/hinterland-tv-noir-wales

Excellent.

I have watched most - if not all - of Gently.

I also enjoy "Vera" & "DCI Banks". And "Chasing Shadows" wasn't too bad.
