   If (for some unknown reason — possibly a worldwide video shortage) I were forced to choose just one, I think I’d go with Inspector Morse. John Thaw was so spectacular with Kevin Whately, and it was hard to beat all the filming in Oxford.

   But I really can’t choose. So here are some more that are also my top number one favorite.

   Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (with Alec Guinness … I’m so nervous about the new one coming up because I’m afraid they’re going to mess it up … Alec Guinness is George Smiley to me!)

   All Creatures Great and Small (with Christopher Timothy and Robert Hardy and Peter Davison)

   North and South (with Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ashe)

   Inspector Lewis has been holding its own as a spinoff series! Absolutely love Kevin Whately and Laurence Fox in this.

   Little Dorrit (with Matthew Macfadyen and Claire Foy)

   I’ll stop there. Such a fun question. Thank you.

   All Creatures Great and Small should have made the list!
