Bridgerton
Regency London. Beautiful debutante Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and the devilishly handsome but rakish Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page) are faking a romance – an arrangement that suits them both.
A cast that seems to consist of at least half of the actors in Britain (including Ben Miller, Bessie Carter, Polly Walker and Golda Rosheuvel (above))
But what if they develop real feelings for each other? And what if Lady Whistledown (Julie Andrews), the anonymous author of a gossip sheet, gets wind of their wheeze? Meanwhile, with a cast that seems to consist of at least half of the actors in Britain (including Ben Miller, Bessie Carter, Polly Walker and Golda Rosheuvel), there are duels, brawls, bareknuckle boxing matches, unwanted pregnancies, glimpses of mad King George III, wonderful, extravagant candlelit balls and amorous assignations in pleasure gardens.

Sometimes people seem to have the most idyllic life, but their friends, families and colleagues may not always know about their underlying challenges. That’s certainly the case for the doctors of the General Practice (GP) that specializes in surgery on the successful British drama series, ‘Peak Practice.’
The show was set in Cardale, a small fictional town in the Derbyshire Peak District. While running for 12 series on ITV from the early 1990s to the early 2000s, ‘Peak Practice’ followed the GP’s staff members as they face professional problems when they each encounter personal difficulties.
