Your beach getaway comes early in 2020, with the January premiere of Sanditon on Masterpiece, adapted from Jane Austen’s unfinished novel.

THIRTEEN has scheduled a smashing lineup of British programs on Sundays in December.

The Moonstone is a rollicking who-dunnit, Victorian-style, and the trendsetter for the English detective novel.

The British drama’s four seasons are streaming on THIRTEEN as a member benefit. The series captures late 19th-century life in town and country.

The series’ emotional pull comes from its characters, most of whom seem to accept loneliness as the price for their work ethic and drive. And no one can get their job done without some give and take.

Poldark reunites with an old friend and starts gaining enemies. The real history depicted in the series, plus a look at who’s new.

We toast Downton Abbey with cocktails inspired by our favorite characters. Get the recipes here.

The comedy legend stars in his first dramatic role in more than two decades.

An unlikely pair of private detectives find out not is all well in their pretty theater town of Stratford-upon-Avon. Saturdays at 8pm on THIRTEEN.

No one was feeling quite themselves in Episode 8, but we’re grateful for resolution and reconciliation.

All kinds of labor issues are addressed in Episode 6, from health hazards for dock workers to a teen mother who gives birth for a second time.

A 20-year-old bride-to-be is shocked to learn that genetically, she’s male. We look at today’s knowledge about intersex traits and resources today.

While tears of reconciliation were in this episode, so were sobs of grief as back alley abortion made another appearance this season.
