The British Village

Sort by: Showing 7 items
There seem to be a whole lot of murders in the village of St. Mary Mead, where Miss Marple resides and also in every other village she happens to visit.
Abhi's rating:

2. Cranford (2007)
The village of Cranford has a largely female population, doesn't like the idea of a railway very much and everyone seems to be in everyone's business. A really great cast of actors stars here and bring the village and it's characters vividly to life. No hint of any murders though.
Abhi's rating:

People who added this item 90  Average listal rating (62 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.4 
3. Midsomer Murders (1997)
The (fictional) rural county of Midsomer seems to be having a spree of murders. It's been 14 years, and the spree continues unabated.

People who added this item 31  Average listal rating (19 ratings) 7.8  IMDB Rating 7.7 
4. Lark Rise to Candleford (2008)
Candleford village (again, it's fictional) is filled entirely with interesting characters.

People who added this item 20  Average listal rating (9 ratings) 6.8  IMDB Rating 7.6 
5. Kingdom (2007)
Peter Kingdom has a law practice in the small town of Market Shipborough. Going by the amount of eccentrics living here, if I walked into an English village or small town today, I should probably be kept thoroughly entertained every day.

6. Doc Martin (2004)
As an alternative, I could walk into a village with an eccentric doctor and be entertained every day. The rest of the villagers seem to be pretty normal, as TV villages go, despite the regular occurrence of rare diseases to keep the Doc occupied.

7. The Indian Doctor (2010)



Fictional British villagers come in two varieties - eccentric or murderous, going by this list of TV shows.

Royston Vasey, made famous by The League of Gentlemen, its a local town for local people, you'll have no trouble here - both fictional and murderous.
