Have you guys seen Lark Rise to Candleford? And there's the Cranford series. LOVE Judi Dench!
'Candleford' is Buckingham and 'Lark Rise' is a hamlet called. Juniper Hill. (I have a friend who lives in Juniper Hill. I lived in Brackley for a while and then in Caversfield) Juniper Hill hasn't changed much, but if you are ever in the area, head South East form Juniper Hill to Cottisford, then down the Hethe Rd to Hethe.
Hethe is 'the land time forgot'. Not far from the main road (but if you don't know where it is, you'll be pushed to find it ) It doesn't get many tourists.
No street lights. When it gets dark, it's dark.
1930s England (though they do have electricity and running water.)
Two other series I like are 'Last of the Summer Wine' (Northern humour; 3 old boys with time on their hands. Set in Holmfirth) and 'Heartbeat' a series (386 episodes filmed from 1992 to 2010) about Policemen in a town called 'Aidensfield' (Goathland) in Yorkshire.
Another favourite series (of mine) is 'Dad's Army' - set near Thetford and filmed (largely) in the Stanford Training Area. The STA was 'requisitioned for the duration' during WWll, but has remained in military hands. There are villages in the STA (such as Buckenham Tofts) which are largely unchanged since the early 1940s. The area is generally 'off limits' but it is opened to the public (guided tours) a few times a year.
McCallum - starring John Hannah, currently starring in "Spartacus..." on Starz
Rebus - also originally starring John Hannah and continuing with Ken Stott, I much preferred the eps with John Hannah
Crime Traveller - an odd but endearing series
Midsomer Murders with the inestimable John Nettles - there are sooooo many of these
Also, The State Within - starring Jason Isaacs, Ben Daniels (recently seen in Law & Order: UK) Sharon Gless and others. Absolutely mesmerizing. Found it on netflix.

I am originally from the UK, I noticed someone recommended Cracker starring robbie Coltrane, this was a fantastic series, so well written.
If you watched and liked Cracker, something else I would highly recommend; if you want a really well written gritty drama, watch Wallander. I noticed recently it showing on a US channel.
Wallander is a must ,Branagh did a good job,it was so well made,
