  1. Actually on reflection I'd like to swap LA Law for the X Files! Honourable mentions to: Person of Interest 24 Ripper Street Sleepy Hollow LA Law (see above) Cagney and Lacey True Detective (the first series) CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Law and Order: Special Victims Unit Will and Grace Star Trek (original series) Various 1970s/1980s shows eg Happy Days, Miami Vice etc, although I think some of them will look very dated now.
  2. My top 10 in no particular order: Brideshead Revisited NYPD Blue Hill Street Blues The Bridge Game of Thrones Frasier ER Upstairs Downstairs (original 1970s series) Only Fools and Horses LA Law
  3. I wasn't sure about bringing it back at first (one of my all-time favourite series) but now I'm looking forward to it.
  4. Gutted that this is only shown on Amazon Prime in the UK. I hate it when they have that mid-series split - why do they do it? It's so annoying!
  5. I'm really pleased to find a thread for this author. There is another Marshal book, a sort of prequel about John, who was William's dad and is also fascinating, in fact this is my favourite of her books so far, it's called "A Place Beyond Courage". I've read "The Greatest Knight" and "The Scarlet Lion", and also "The Time of Singing", all of which I enjoyed although I think TSL is my favourite of these books. I read "Shadows and Strongholds" earlier this year and that was another good read, I have all of her books and am gradually getting through them! This is my favourite period of history.
  6. It's nice to see the author getting more recognition. I discovered her through another forum and have a few of her books, so far I've only read Cauldstane and The Glass Guardian, both of which I enjoyed, and I loved the settings too.
  7. I'm a huge fan of BE and have read most of her work. I did enjoy Darkest Hour but I don't think it's her best book, I think her characterisation was better than it usually yes (they tend to be a bit two-dimensional) and as usual, the atmosphere was very evocative, but my favourites so far are House of Echoes (my first BE book), Midnight is a Lonely Place, and Hiding from the Light, and I also liked River of Destiny and Whispers In the Sand, and the short story collections are worth a read too. I wasn't keen of Daughters of Fire, which is probably why I still haven't read Warrior's Princess, and I've still got Time's Legacy on the tbr pile too - I'm now worried about those dogs though! I do like the sound of it, as well as the setting.

    Hello

    Hi everyone, I joined yesterday and am currently finding my way around. I like crime, thrillers, historical fiction and family sagas, with a bit of fantasy thrown in - the usual: LOTR, Game of Thrones, Dark Materials, Harry Potter. I'm on a couple of other forums but they've been a bit quiet lately so I've been looking for another one and found this. Madeleine
