UKTV Drama

As part of our cable package (we gave up our Sky dish last year) from NTL I receive all of the UKTV channels, which includes UKTV Drama. My wife and I both find that this is a channel we are tuning into more and more of an evening, simply because of the really high quality of the programming.

I think this is one of the best channels on TV. I enjoy watching replays of such programmes as Bergerac, New Tricks, etc. and I especially enjoyed the Tenko replays.

Do you like watching the boys from the Blackstuff, The Lakes, Tenko then this is the channel for you.

If that is not to your taste, they have "Tenko", "Secret Army", "A Horseman Riding By" in their repertoire, as well as more recent costume dramas such as "Barchester Chronicles" and "Vanity Fair". My only criticism is the strange hours they run on the digital system - 7pm until 6am - I all for providing Tenko at 5 o clock i the morning for shift workers etc, but with such a ...  Read the complete review
