I caught "Howard's End" last year on one of my Encore channels so have not
watched it on my local PBS station. "Sanditon" just didn't appeal to me
so I didn't even bother watching a snippet.

"Vienna Blood" is filmed in Vienna if I'm not mistaken and some of the
actors are Viennese. They said what is spoken and how it is spoken is
not how they would talk in Vienna if it were not English produced. I
thought that somewhat interesting. Oh, this program is set in 1906 if
I remember correctly. Pictures of Franz Joseph are in the police station
and of course the period dress is a good giveaway.
