We don't have to worry the OP will boot our arses off the thread.

Yes BR was so good.

I cannot tell you how many times I have read all of Jane Austen's books.
And seen all the TV and movies adaptations many times over.

About once a year I subscribe to Acorn and Britbox and binge watch for several months.
Usually during the winter or heat of summer when I am not outside as much.

The Brits are superb actors and entertainers.
Once you get hooked on British books, TV, movies, it is hard to go back to American stuff.
