THERE’S nothing like some quality British TV to get you in the mood for Christmas, and Acorn TV has stepped into the breach with assorted holiday episodes of Poirot, Rosemary & Thyme, Midsomer Murders, and Foyle’s War, which can be streamed direct onto your computer.
Although California nights are not inclined to make us huddle in front of the box as fervently as we did back in England, for those of you in the mood for some big TV sessions, Acorn is offering a 26-episode marathon of David Suchet (pictured, right) in Agatha Christie’s Poirot (Series 3 – 6), and the complete 22-episode series of Rosemary & Thyme.
Acorn TV is currently featuring a free 14-day trial. As always, the first episodes of each of the 18 series are available for free, while complete access to an average of 175 hours (up 40% from the 125 hours in Sept.) of the very best in British mysteries and dramas is just $2.99/mth or $29.99/yr. Each week three new seasons are added and three are removed.
Currently streaming are Kelly Reilly and Ciaran Hinds in Above Suspicion; the first two series of Helen Mirren’s iconic performance as Jane Tennison in Prime Suspect; the complete series of Fortysomething starring Hugh Laurie with Benedict Cumberbatch as his son; the North American premiere of Midsomer Murders, Set 21; Fresh Fields starring Julia McKenzie and Anton Rodgers; as well as Robson Green in Touching Evil and Northern Lights, Lee Remick in Jennie: Lady Randolph Churchill, Keira Knightley and Sam Neill in Doctor Zhivago and Derek Jacobi in Cadfael.
Acorn TV is available at acornonline.com/TV and through Roku, iPhones, iPads, Barnes & Noble’s NOOK Tablet, Apple TV, Google TV, among others.
