Steve203: wrt your list, I have all of "Foyle's War"...
I'd argue that there probably was only one better police procedural on television than Foyle's War. And I believe every episode was written by Anthony Horowitz, whose written output rivals Stephen King and Joyce Carol Oates. And just outstanding writing and acting.
I would rank Endeavor, just a brilliant series, slightly above Foyle's War. Some might say The Wire is the best police procedural of all time and I wouldn't feel too compelled to argue with them, but I prefer Endeavor.
Poldark became a little too soap opera-ish for me but I enjoyed the early episodes. Same with Selfridge.
Rumpole is quite the character. Leo McKern is always a pleasure to watch. And seeing Patricia Hodge now as Mrs. Pomfrey in the All Creatures reboot is quite the contrast.
The Night Stalker is good, campy fun. It aired for awhile in Chicago at midnight on Friday nights on a local station. Darren McGavin was terrific as Carl Kolchak, plus it was set in Chicago.
I have never seen the others but will put them on my TBW list. If I cannot stream them, our library has a huge collection of DVDs.
Nowadays, I'm more into reading and music.
