Proper retired I am these days. Become a daytime television watcher, well, quite selectively.
These two relaxing half hour programmes are currently on Rewind TV:
-
Old Country, presented by Jack Hargreaves, made in the mid 1980's, looking back on the life before WW2.
Horses, carriages, fishing, rabbiting, dogs, tools, farming, pottery, smithing; back to an age when life was slow, and everyone DIY'd.
Episodes also on youtube -
Discovering Gardens, presented by Michele Brown and Giles Brandreth, made in the late 1980's.
Lovely English garden estates, with the owner-gardeners explaining and advising. An absolute gem.
Seems to only be on tv.

I don’t watch a lot of stuff, but someone just recommended Soviet Jeans to me, and it sounds good. Eight episodes, you can get it through PBS Passport.
Set in Soviet Latvia in 1979. Dictatorship, KGB, a love story, a counterfeit jeans caper. Here’s the trailer.
