There was a TV series that appeared on Channel 4 not that long ago called Outlander, which I would definitely recommend. I only managed to watch the very first episode during the time it was being broadcasted, unfortunately, but I would recommend it from that one episode alone.
From what I remember, it's a historical fiction series that centres around a mid-20th century nurse who is sent back in time during a trip to Scotland with her husband. I'm not sure if it's still available on Channel 4's on-demand service, though – I haven't actually looked myself. Through my own stupidity, I kept missing every subsequent episode after the first, so I'm hoping it still is. If not, however, I will definitely be buying it on DVD or blu-ray, if and when it gets released onto them.
