We're trying out AP's Brit Box channel because Stacy wanted to watch Zen. There's quite a bit here, more than the PBS Masterpiece channel, which we've nearly exhausted so we might switch over. We're on the 7-day free trial.
Zen - 3 hour-and-a-half eps. A 70s period police procedural based in Rome. Quite good. It went a lot of places that I didn't expect and it's got a cool style. I did not see the feral cave girl twist coming. We'll watch the next two.
Ripping Yarns - Michael Palin & Terry Jones pre-Python series about school days. A lot of the same BTS crew and the pacing is the same with the laugh track and style of humor, only it's not sketch. It's episodic. I've seen clips of this before but not entire episodes. e1 & e2 star Palin (but both Palin and Jones play multiple roles). e1 is about a bullied kid in boarding school. e2 is about a 'boring tit' who's family runs away from him. It's very NPC today. VERY NPC.
