The ladies welcome regular contributor Janet Mullany to the show to discuss new Masterpiece drama Atlantic Crossing, a surprisingly moving story of the Norwegian royal family during World War II.

The ladies dig into the new Netflix show The Irregulars,  a vaguely Sherlock Holmes-adjacent genre series that sees a teen version of the Baker Street Irregulars attempt to solve a series of interconnected supernatural mysteries, and use it as an excuse to talk other recent adaptations of the great detective's story.

The ladies are joined by contributor Carmen Croghan for a rollicking discussion about Acorn TV's newest thriller Bloodlands, a story so twisty that the group has wildly different opinions about what's going on. 

The ladies attempt to break down what's coming this spring in the world of British television - and what we may have to wait a bit longer than usual to see, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic - from Atlantic Crossing and Netflix's The Serpent to updates on the latest seasons of Call the Midwife, Grantchester, and Unforgotten.

The ladies do a deep dive on streaming service AppleTV+ by way of a discussion of its best show - the period drama Dickinson. Which is technically not British, but we'll make an exception this time.

Contributor Janet Mullaney joins the ladies to look back at the first season of charming period drama All Creatures Great and Small, from their favorite animal patients to their hopes for Season 2.

The ladies dig into the first season of period mystery Miss Scarlet and the Duke, from its treatment of gender and race in the Victorian era to whether Eliza and the Duke should get together romantically. (Warning: Lacy's really obsessed.) 

Downton Abbey turns ten years old this month (how??) and the ladies celebrate by digging into the favorite moments from the period drama that changed both their lives. Lacy stans for Matthew and Mary, while Ani makes the case for Downton as historical fiction. 

Regular contributor Carmen Croghan joins the ladies to discuss the powerful new Masterpiece drama The Long Song and how it compares to the book it is based on. 

The ladies dig into the streaming service Britbox, from its extensive library of classic British content to new releases like Traces, The Pembrokeshire Murders, Honour, and more.
