Yes, we were getting those shows on a PBS type station as well.
Usually every year they rebroadcast a couple of new and older shows
from the BBS, but without subscribing to BritBox or something you
won't see them anywhere else. At the moment there's not much on
there but I hope that's just a brief situation..

I'm just glad the Fall TV season has now started up again. I have
to watch a lot of older shows during the summer when all the main
shows are off the air or in repeats if I don't save some up to
watch later when there's lots on.

I lost a huge collection of saved shows when the recorder on my
Satellite TV system fried a few weeks back, so I've been watching
a lot of mostly older movies. I actually rarely watch movies unless
they are well known ones I've been hoping to see. I always find
when I'm watching pretty much any movie they put on TV that I'm
amazed at how many of them are really pretty bad, even ones with
well known actors in them.

My TV service recently gave us 4 feeds of the Starz network at
no extra cost. They show mostly older movies, but the bigger
ones that were at the theaters. Since I don't get out to see
movies, I'm finding a lot there that are, if not new, are new
to me and on average better than the made for TV variety.

BTW.. If it sounds like I Live for TV, I actually only watch
TV for about 3 hours in the evening, other than catching the
news when having lunch. I spend a lot more hours reading than
watching TV.
