Michelle and Edith fill us in about their recent trip to New York before they’re joined by actor Leo Suter (Vikings: Valhalla) to talk about his role as the dashing gentleman inspector in the new BritBox series Lynley.

Leo shares how even the sexy scenes on TV aren’t as glamorous as they seem, his grueling lockdown workout for Vikings: Valhalla, and why he’s the only guy on set who can touch Lynley’s Jensen Interceptor car… and why he looks like a lovechild between Hugh Grant and Eric Bana.

Her latest “project” is Harriet Smith (Toni Collette, The Hours), an unpretentious debutant, while Emma herself receives the attentions of the dashing Frank Churchill (Ewan McGregor, Staged). However, Emma’s attempts at matchmaking cause more problems than solutions and may ultimately jeopardize her own chance at love and happiness.

Becoming Jane (2007) | New to BritBox US | 1 x 120’ | Released All at Once
Dramatised biography of the young Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway, Les Misérables), revealing how her feisty character affected her romance with a young Irishman and how the experience came to have an influence on her writing.

Whilst her parents hope that she will meet and settle with a wealthy husband of considerable social status, she much prefers a roguish Celt with whom she can match wits and share repartee.

Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001) | New to BritBox CA* | 1 x 120’ | Released All at Once

After vowing to abandon her many vices, Bridget turns over a new page by channeling her opinions and insecurities in a journal that becomes a hilarious chronicle of her misadventures.

Soon, Bridget finds herself stuck in the sights of not one, but two men: her dashing boss Daniel (Hugh Grant, Love Actually), who thrives on bad behavior; and the brooding Mark (Colin Firth, The King’s Speech), whom she despises but somehow can’t get away from.

Austenland (2013) | New to BritBox US* | 1 x 97’ | Released All at Once
Jane Hayes’s (Keri Russell, The Americans) adoration of all things Jane Austen is complicating her love life. Determined to be the heroine of her own story, Jane spends her life savings on a trip to Austenland, an eccentric resort where guests experience complete immersion in the Regency era.

Armed with her bonnet, corset, and needlepoint, Jane strives to avoid spinsterhood … but has a difficult time determining where fantasy ends and real life—and maybe even love—begins. Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus) and Jane Seymour (Harry Wild) also star in this charming romantic comedy.

For connoisseur Detective Chief Inspector Joe Mottram (Warren Brown, Luther), the beautiful island of Capri was meant to be a place to grieve his deceased wife, reconnect with his troubled teenage daughter, and get closer to his late wife’s Italian relatives.

All he planned was a summer’s break and a chance to savor some delicious Italian produce. But Joe attracts murder cases like a wasp to a ripe peach, and soon he finds himself involved in a case that is very close to home.

The Trial of Christine Keeler Season 1 | New to BritBox | 6 x 60’ | Released All at Once
The Trial of Christine Keeler takes us behind the headlines to tell a human story about the sexual and cultural politics of one of the most revealing and iconic stories of modern times. At the center of the storm was 19-year-old Christine Keeler (Sophie Cookson, The Confessions of Frannie Langton) – a young woman who the powerful, male-dominated establishment sought to silence and exploit, but who refused to play by their rules.

Written by BAFTA award-winning novelist and screenwriter Amanda Coe (Apple Tree Yard) and directed by Andrea Harkin (The Girlfriend), this six-part drama takes a fresh look at one of the most infamous British stories: the chain of events in the 1960s that came to be known as the Profumo affair.

Adolescent Anthony (Ralf Little, Death in Paradise) is affectionately bullied, while Denise’s fiancé, Dave (Craig Cash, Early Doors), can be depended on to keep everybody smiling.

The Royle Family Season 2 | New to BritBox | 6 x 30’ | Released All at Once
The Royles return with the newlyweds, Denise and Dave, expecting their first baby. In most other respects, however, life is as mundane as ever – Jim sits in his armchair controlling the remote, and Denise lazes around the house whingeing about the problems of pregnancy. Barbara stoically holds everyone together, while teenage Anthony, the only moving part of the household, is dispatched to buy yet more cigarettes.

Fawlty Towers Season 1 | New to BritBox | 6 x 30’ | Released All at Once
Manic, arrogant, sycophantic, and sadistic, Basil Fawlty (John Cleese, Monty Python and the Holy Grail) is a much put-upon, hard-working hotel manager whose life is plagued by dead guests, hotel inspectors, and riff-raff. His biggest headache is his ‘little nest of vipers’ – nagging wife Sybil (Prunella Scales, Marple).

Together they run their hotel, Fawlty Towers, with a little help from the unflappable Polly (Connie Booth, The Buccaneers), and hardly any help at all from Manuel (Andrew Sachs, Coronation Street), a trainee waiter from Barcelona with marginally more intelligence than a monkey. Fawlty Towers is a truly classic sitcom, in the grand tradition of British farce.

Fawlty Towers Season 2 | New to BritBox | 6 x 30’ | Released All at Once
The doors of Fawlty Towers open up for a second madcap series. Hotel manager Basil is still hampered at every turn by the hapless Manuel and his scathing wife, Sybil. It’s almost possible to feel sorry for him, if it wasn’t for his appalling rudeness and incomparable incompetence.

Testing Basil’s blood pressure in this series are the selectively deaf guest Mrs. Richards, who has lost a large amount of money, an abrasive American who wants a Waldorf Salad, and Manuel’s escaped pet hamster, which Basil is certain is actually a rat.
