Sunday Evening Drama Series

A British trope in particular, these are quiet, inoffensive drama series, often of the Costume Drama variety, that The BBC or ITV sticks on Sunday evening (5.30pm to 8.30pm).

They are designed for all the family to watch before the stress of Monday.

Examples:
 * Heartbeat
 * The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency
 * Lark Rise to Candleford
 * The Magician's House
 * Cranford
 * Kingdom
 * Casualty1906 although it arguably pushes the boudaries of this trope by being post-Watershed and therefore slightly Harmful to Minors.
 * Downton Abbey
 * Wild At Heart
 * Where The Heart Is
