Not familiar with Martin Clunes in anything else. At least not yet. Jeeves and
Wooster sounds like a winner. Will look for it. Loved Hugh Laurie in House,
until it jumped the shark with the pursuit by the cops for drug abuse. By then,
House's nonsense just got annoying. One thing I enjoy about Brit TV is they
seems to have a better notion of when to stop than their American cousins.

One we found that blew us away was The Fall, with Gillian Anderson. Season One
over, Season Two currently in production. She's a rather interesting Chief
Superintendent trying to track down a serial killer in Belfast. (Not the
Belfast in Maine.) It's pretty raw, but very well done.
