YouTube is great, well worth subscribing to to avoid the ads. I originally subscribed just to create music playlists. So many old programmes available, drama, crime, documentaries, old comedy favourites .... I binge watch the Portrait and Landscape artist of the year programmes, Would I Lie to you and other series like Spooks which postdated our arrival here. I recently just came across the old Callam series and today found the BBC Archive. What a treasure! Here's Bill Dibley atop a chimney:

Do you mean the Callan series? I just checked and found it on youtube without a subscription.

Yes, Callan and poor Old Lonely! Sure it's free to view but I pay to get ad free viewing.

Yes. That makes perfect sense if you watch a lot of youtube. I basically only use it for music. Just wanted to say that you must not subscribe to get some TV. Enjoy!!
