Sorry for being pedantic. Phoebe Waller-Bridge didn't really write Killing Eve but did ( 4 episodes). I think Luke Jennings should get some credit for his 3 Novellas that inspired it. Great video as always.
Really enjoy Endeavour. It has the pacing of more traditional British crime dramas, like it’s source show Inspector Morse. The 1960s-70s setting also works well for it. Poirot is one of the all time best British crime shows. Agatha Christie had a well known gift for writing murder mysteries, and David Suchet truly made Poirot into a fully realised character. A Touch of Frost, because who doesn’t love David Jason?
@Garry Jeffery - Happy Valley is one of the best TV programmes in the last decade and Sally Wainwright is writing genius. The only silver lining of her not getting round to the next series (if it happens) is that she had written Gentleman Jack which is also superb, but not a crime drama obviously.
Endeavor.. George Gently.. Vera.. Peaky Blinders.. Ripper Street.. Straight off the top of my head.. I'm sure there are many more.. British drama is all about telling a good story and building characters..
I most certainly recommend you check out the 2 series of Happy Valley again only 6 episodes per series. Another great one i s Unforgotten. the 4th series is currently running but each only has 3-4 episodes so easy to binge watch you wont be disapointed.
Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes is by far the best. Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes is also well worth a watch. The Professionals is a classic from my childhood. Very Good.
Highly recc "Life on Mars" and "Line Of Duty" both of which heavily feature Keeley Hawes, funnily enough. Oh, and "The Fall" starring Gillian Anderson.
You have excellent TV taste, first with comedies and then these. Have you ever seen ‘No Offence’ on Channel 4? Sooo good, a (dark) drama but funny in a realistic and equally dark workplace style. And only 3 shortish seasons. There should have been 4 though.
Great choices, particularly with 'The Night Manager' and 'Luther' both deserve more recognition. A series which I loved many years ago and can recommend was 'Wire In The Blood' with Robson Green playing Dr. Tony Hill from 2002 - 2008, well worth checking out.
Try "Unforgottten". Deep, complex, slow-burn. thoughtful. It makes a particular point of focussing on the people affected by the crime, and the investigations. Some of the endings are "thoughful", "complex" and some might even say "controversial". There are four series of six programs to look at. You can probably watch them in any order, except I'd say watch series 4 last. Series two is the deepest, the most disturbing and probably the best. It is not always easy to watch - it covers extremely emotive subjects and doens't pull its punches.
Mine are Taggart ,The Bill, Inspector Morse, Touch Of Frost, Rebus, and Killing Eve. I would recommend those shows excluding Killing Eve because you seen it.
Target the original and Morse where my favourite in the 80s/90s, my mom and I watched them every week. Also the American shows Candy and Lacey and Colombo
Great vid. I enjoyed the 'Morse' series and the spin-offs Lewis and Endeavor. Vera and Shetland Crime dramas are good. You five are exceptional could not disagree but there are so many to choose from. Best Wishes and thank you for your efforts and enjoy watching them.
I've never been a big fan of crime series, but I watched the 3 seasons of No Offence and I absolutely loved them. The first season had me on the adge of my seat and second guessing myself right til the end of the last episode.
The Night Manager is one hell of a good book too (RIP John le Carré) - definitely read the book if you liked the tv adaptation as it’s incredible. English language and literature at its best. Whilst the story and characters are basically the same there are some surprising differences to keep it interesting once you’ve seen the tv show. I love your channel btw!
I watched the night manager and I thought it was brilliant, very James Bond-esque, I could totally see Tom Hiddleston being the next Bond now! thanks for the recommendation! 👍🏻 Tomorrow I will start the bodyguard 😁
There are so many great crime dramas & I would thoroughly recommend the highly acclaimed ‘Broadchurch’, featuring David Tennant & Olivia Coleman & ‘’No Offence’, the latter being a gritty, no nonsense northern drama set in Manchester with a cast focused mainly on the females.
Going back into the mists of time - well, the mid 80s - one of my all time favourite political crime espionage thrillers was "Edge Of Darkness" starring Bob Peck and Joanne Whalley.
Nice choices...but I'd have to put The Fall (with Gillian Andersen) and Line Of Duty at the top and maybe Unforgotten too, which has cold cases as its raison d'etre. Killing Eve was great fun too!
@@vanessatalks1 Ah, I thought I had some memory of you talking about those two. Have you seen Life on Mars and the follow-on series Ashes to Ashes? Both ex cellent and very different crime dramas. Also hope the HP sauce your man introduced you to has been tested in bacon and sausage sarnies and with a Full English!
Glad you enjoyed The night manager One of my favourites too. quiet a few hunky guys on your list, which wouldn't have made any bearing on your judgement......would it ? 😉
My favorite British Crime TV Series are: o Death in Paradise (the one's with Ben Miller as Richard Poole are my favorites) o Sherlock Holmes Mysteries with Jeremy Brett
Hi Vanessa you should watch boys from the black stuff, it's not a crime drama and was made in the early 1980's. It's, for me, probably the best British drama ever made and it's only 6 episodes.
Great list - with 3 that I haven’t seen. Will have to give The Night Manager a go. Is your list ranked in the order of preference for you or are they all 1st equal?
No matter the subject i come away from your channel feeling good, you have such a wonderful personality and a smile that melts me everytime,.im a promotions photographer where smiles dont come easy lol tc x
You look even more stunning now that those spooky circles of light have gone from your eyes. Two catchlights is fine , can’t be avoided as you need to have at least two lights.
When you live in a country which for the large part of year gives us overcast and gloomy weather you need something to escape from it all, for me Death Paradise fits the bill
I love your prononciation, you have that je-ne-sais-quoi of throat roughness whispering at the end of your sentences. There’s a certain sensuality to it, and you’re funny. 😉
Two series i love from a few years ago are........BETWEEN THE LINES with neil pearson........and VINCENT with ray winstone. Between the lines is about a police unit that investigates corruption within the police force and ran for three series Vincent is about a private investigator and his team who investigate various cases,within a background of vincent's broken down marriage,this ran for two series.
Great Choices, tho' I've not yet seen The Night Porter or The Bodyguard...I know why not!!? 😱 Never even heard of Giri Haji 🤔 so definitely got those to catch up with, Thanks. 👍 I can't think of any British ones that come to mind at the moment but going off piste here, I have just finished watching 'The Alienist-Angel of Darkness' on Netflix. I know not a U.K series but it does have a darn fine new British actor'ess in it 👏Rosy McEwan👏....just wow! 👌 ooh checking out others comments reminds me 'Rebus' (Ken Stott great actor, Where did he go? he's also on Netflix in The Dig) was good as was 'Cracker' (Robbie Coltrane 80's comic gone serious.) ...oh and enjoyed 'Wallander' (Kenneth Branagh)
LOL this is random but because we can: next up go to Llandudno in Wales it’s a so beautiful but it is a long drive for London if you live there, it’s 3 hours for me in Sohth Yorkshire!
I think you would like the cop series " Life on Mars " which not only makes you think but gives a look back into the the 1980s before political correctness .All i would say is that the main character goes back in time......or does he ?
Pleased the much under rated Giri Haji is mentioned. As for Keeley Hawes in The Bodyguard. Has she ever been in anything not great? British series tend to be short and can be an advantage over US series that can go on for 24 episodes and multiple seasons.
Have you seen Game of Thrones ? I think you would love that show. Hope you will watch season 1 and let us know what you think. For the record I am also a huge Olivia Colman fan.... she is amazing.
Maybe next check out Bad Girls it's a drama set in an all women's prison. Then of course midsummer murders, Lewis, line of duty, broadchurch, Scott and Bailey x
In my opinion, 'Vera' is about the best crime drama on British tv right now - with another series to come soon. Can't wait! Every episode story a gem, the filming is magnificent in the Northumberland and Newcastle areas, superb acting from Brenda Blethyn and the rest of the cast. A gritty, realistic and honest police procedural. I highly recommend it to you, Vanessa, not least because it gives a very good impression about life for ordinary people in modern Britain away from London.
Not a bad list. Killing Eve, brilliant. Bodyguard, i just thought ok. Started very strong, then though only 6 episodes had a lot of extraneous stuff in it. If they'd paired back they could have made a great show with 5, maybe even 4 episodes. Giri Haji, and Luther I've never seen, but will check out now. The Night Manager (love Hugh Laurie) had great production values. I couldn't get over a major plot point though i thought spoiled it. You've a very intelligent, savvy, secretive, high level, paranoid, shady business man. Then, just cos someone saved his son from having his lunch money robbed lets a complete stranger into the very heart of his organisation, Naarrrrr. Maybe plausible some 30yrs ago when the book it's based on came out, but not now, surely. Re my likes. Anything Agatha Christie, Partic Poirot. Lewis, Morse, Chance. But best of all, Sherlock Holmes. The ITV drama series. Ran mid 80's to mid 90's, starring Jeremy Brett. My fave Holmes of them all :)
Going back to comedy from the other day, there's a show that parodies all these crime dramas so perfectly, all the dumb cliches, that I can't take things like Midsomer Murders or Luther seriously anymore. It's called A Touch Of Cloth, it's written by Charlie Brooker, stars Suranne Jones, John Hannah, Julian Rhind-Tutt
What about Line of Duty; these story lines are based on real events; throughout the several series to date there's a common thread of corruption/story-line, which though you might be watching series 5 for example, stretches back to say series 2. It has a very real feel about it. Spooks is another one (M I5) - at the time of first airing a few years back certain episodes felt quite topical.
For another Super Secret Spy Series take a look at Spooks. The early series were excellent although they probably dragged it out a little longer than necessary.
"River" is a crime drama with fragile psychological undertones starring Nicola Walker (Unforgotten, Last Tango in Halifax) and Stellan Skarsgard (Chernobyl, Mama Mia, Nymphomania). River will have you wondering what's going on and fill you with sympathy for Skarsgard's very troubled detective. Only one season of 6 episodes. First shown on BBC, then on Netflix, only available on Britbox at the moment.
Uk crime drama look no further than bbc news oh wait that’s fictional to 😂😂 great choices thou 👍🏻💫👍🏻💫thou think it would be good to ask who is ur favourite You Tube channel not many people watch old fashioned TV 📺 anymore, my top5 Mr Beast , Carlisle 195, Biking Buddies , Post10, What The Hales and of course Vanessa Talks the VIP list 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☕️
I'd be interested in your opinion of good Austrian music. Every time I go to an Austrian apres ski bar, they play a tune about Niki Lauda to the sheer delight of the Austrians!
If you're being sarcastic, fair enough. If you aren't - of course not, it's lowest common denominator pap. It's everything that's been done before, with the only difference being it's set in sunnier climes - but during the winter months, so that doesn't even work.
Killing Eve is just brilliant. Jodie Comer is such a talented actress. The way she can switch between accents and personalities is amazing
Sorry for being pedantic. Phoebe Waller-Bridge didn't really write Killing Eve but did ( 4 episodes). I think Luke Jennings should get some credit for his 3 Novellas that inspired it. Great video as always.
Silent witness...been incredible for over twenty years
Really enjoy Endeavour. It has the pacing of more traditional British crime dramas, like it’s source show Inspector Morse. The 1960s-70s setting also works well for it.
Poirot is one of the all time best British crime shows. Agatha Christie had a well known gift for writing murder mysteries, and David Suchet truly made Poirot into a fully realised character.
A Touch of Frost, because who doesn’t love David Jason?
+1 for Endeavour
Villanelle is one of my favorite tv characters of all time... the writing, the casting and a true unsung hero... the wardrobe!
Try to search for Happy Valley starring Sarah Lancashire. Absolutely brilliant. The first episode aired in 2014. James Norton was outstanding.
@Garry Jeffery - Happy Valley is one of the best TV programmes in the last decade and Sally Wainwright is writing genius. The only silver lining of her not getting round to the next series (if it happens) is that she had written Gentleman Jack which is also superb, but not a crime drama obviously.
One of the best shows
A touch of frost. The best of British crime drama
Endeavor.. George Gently.. Vera.. Peaky Blinders.. Ripper Street.. Straight off the top of my head.. I'm sure there are many more.. British drama is all about telling a good story and building characters..
I most certainly recommend you check out the 2 series of Happy Valley again only 6 episodes per series. Another great one i s Unforgotten. the 4th series is currently running but each only has 3-4 episodes so easy to binge watch you wont be disapointed.
Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes is by far the best.
Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes is also well worth a watch.
The Professionals is a classic from my childhood. Very Good.
I preferred Basil Rathhbone.
Highly recc "Life on Mars" and "Line Of Duty" both of which heavily feature Keeley Hawes, funnily enough. Oh, and "The Fall" starring Gillian Anderson.
Oops! Sorry just realised the Keely Hawes sequel to "Life on Mars" is called "Ashes to Ashes".
Broadchurch and Happy Valley - both score 8.4/10 on IMDB. Both epic.
The first series of Broadchurch was brilliant but the others were just rushed follow-ups written to cash in on the success of series one, IMHO!
Unforgotten (ITV)
My best UK crime drama from the last 10 years - way better than anything the BBC has been producing recently.
You have excellent TV taste, first with comedies and then these.
Have you ever seen ‘No Offence’ on Channel 4? Sooo good, a (dark) drama but funny in a realistic and equally dark workplace style. And only 3 shortish seasons. There should have been 4 though.
Killing Eve was stupendous, Luther was almost as good and Giri Haji was hypnotic. i haven't seen the other 2. i'm loving the Line Of Duty, atm
Great choices, particularly with 'The Night Manager' and 'Luther' both deserve more recognition. A series which I loved many years ago and can recommend was 'Wire In The Blood' with Robson Green playing Dr. Tony Hill from 2002 - 2008, well worth checking out.

Fantastic series ...
Prime Suspect, Endeavour, Vera, Foyle's War also excellent.
My recent favourite is The Fall. Jamie Dornan, Gillian Anderson probably finest hours. Its absolutely compelling start to finish :)
Same, absolutely brilliant
Mine are Taggart ,The Bill, Inspector Morse, Touch Of Frost, Rebus, and Killing Eve. I would recommend those shows excluding Killing Eve because you seen it.
Target the original and Morse where my favourite in the 80s/90s, my mom and I watched them every week. Also the American shows Candy and Lacey and Colombo
@@BRIDINC1972 my mum loves Colombo. I loved Farther Dowling Mysteries because of Sister Stephanie
Agree with Killing Eve being in your list, its so addictive. The whole world is waiting impatiently for series 4. You have a good list :)
Great vid. I enjoyed the 'Morse' series and the spin-offs Lewis and Endeavor. Vera and Shetland Crime dramas are good. You five are exceptional could not disagree but there are so many to choose from. Best Wishes and thank you for your efforts and enjoy watching them.

Really enjoyed this series. A really well written TV with very likeable characters, except the bad ones of course.
Some of my absolute favorites include The Fall, Happy Valley, Line of Duty, Dr.Foster and Bodyguard.
Killing Eve is just the best. Jodie Comer has literally gone from Tesco check-out girl to one hell of an incredible actress.
The Night Manager is one hell of a good book too (RIP John le Carré) - definitely read the book if you liked the tv adaptation as it’s incredible. English language and literature at its best. Whilst the story and characters are basically the same there are some surprising differences to keep it interesting once you’ve seen the tv show. I love your channel btw!

Going back into the mists of time - well, the mid 80s - one of my all time favourite political crime espionage thrillers was "Edge Of Darkness" starring Bob Peck and Joanne Whalley.

You are so bright and intelligent and you have hypnotic eyes and a lovely smile What else did you say?

Some others: Unforgotten, Hinterland, Broadchurch, The Five, The Stranger, Safe
i was waiting for Luther and wasn't disappointed :)
Two suggestions: Line of Duty and Broadchurch.
You are officially my favourite now 🤗
Really nice table in the background.
Criminal: UK (there’s France Spain and Germany too) is on Netflix and is really good
When you live in a country which for the large part of year gives us overcast and gloomy weather you need something to escape from it all, for me Death Paradise fits the bill
I love your prononciation, you have that je-ne-sais-quoi of throat roughness whispering at the end of your sentences. There’s a certain sensuality to it, and you’re funny. 😉
One of my favourites is Ripper Street. It's set in Whitechapel after the ripper murders have died down but people are still on edge.
I knew you last pick was Luther!!
But..........No Offence, the best show we've seen in the last few years.
Two series i love from a few years ago are........BETWEEN THE LINES with neil pearson........and VINCENT with ray winstone.
