Father, Dear Father In Australia COMPLETE S 1-2
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077009/
Patrick Glover’s brother, who is living in Australia, has to leave home suddenly in connection with his work. Worried about leaving his two teenage daughters alone to fend for themselves during his absence, he makes an urgent telephone call to Patrick, in England, to ask for his help. Patrick agrees to come to the rescue – and he and Nanny travel to Australia, where they find Patrick’s stunning brunette-haired nieces are very similar, in nature, to Patrick’s own daughters – and that they even have the same breed of dog, as their own ‘H.G.’, as a pet. The girls are not at first impressed with having their uncle staying in the house with them, as they had been looking forward to the freedom of being left to their own devices without any adult supervision.

Law And Order UK 1978 COMPLETE mini series
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405564/
Hugely controversial "factional drama" originally shown in 1978, in four parts; each from a different point of view – the Metropolitan Police, the criminal, the solicitor and the prison system.
A vivid portrayal of a murky 1970s world of bent coppers, crooked lawyers, grasses and career criminals.
The series was groundbreaking in both its style and its damning portrayal of corruption in the British legal system. The British Police had never been portrayed like this before on TV. The central premise of the drama claimed that the police and the criminals portrayed were not actually that different in terms of the way they operated.
The series caused a massive storm when broadcast on the BBC; the switchboards were jammed for hours with irate callers. Questions were asked in the House of Parliament concerning the issues raised by the programme.
