-Comment: At least a young farm woman in beige bibs worn with a broad belt (pictured) and black rubber boots in episode 11 (season 3). And some men in blue working bibs (backside suspenders only) in episode 5. Maybe more actors.

2 days ago I found on the web a list of best viewed period series (and similar). I hoped for some good films and series for my sailor suit and historical cloting blog. I am still checking this list but most series are set in the 18th or early 19th century, so few sailor suits so far. For more infos see my other blog (entry "David Copperfield (2000)" (rating 10) and later posts). 

Starring Michael Kitchen as inspector Christopher Foyle. One BAFTA Award and some nominations.

I don't know this series and it seems to show much war scenes (including violence) and I usually don't like that. Might be very authentic with good historical clothings (even women in uniforms) and also some British kids (but I haven's notice any in bibs). The Waltons are also partly set in WWII, but first it's rural America and much more bib scenes and a family series. I have to check again but rating 4 for now only.
