The final episode of 1950s drama series, Call The Midwife, found a greater audience than ever the runaway success of Downton Abbey. With Upstairs Downstairs having just returned for a second series, this is set to be the decade of the 20th Century costume drama, for both the BBC and ITV, with a second series of Call The Midwife due next year, and now it has been announced that old favourite, Foyle's War, is also set to make a welcome return to our screens in 2013, having been cancelled by ITV back in 2007.
After a multitude of mid-week hospital and forensic series, great though they were, it seems Sunday nights have returned to the mainstream, with the two channels already forming a battleground for ratings - though I’m not sure a weekend edition of Coronation Street was quite the offering from viewers were hoping for, as can be seen from the BBC’s ratings joy ..
Roll on a wealth of long-over due new Sunday night classics .... though I for one am rather enjoying the ITV3 re-runs of Monarch Of The Glen and Born & Bred.
