Patricia Routledge plays a Lancashire pensioner who sets up as a private detective with a young assistant, taking on the cases the police consider too small to bother with. Like Rosemary and Laura, Hetty is a sharp, determined woman whose life experience proves more useful than any official training.
Joan Hickson's Miss Marple uses her knowledge of village life and human nature to solve murders that baffle the police. Its English country houses and gardens, and its unhurried, fair-play puzzles, make it a natural companion to Rosemary & Thyme.
Jane Seymour plays a newly retired literature professor in Dublin who discovers a talent for solving crimes, much to the frustration of her detective son. It shares Rosemary & Thyme's delight in a woman starting a new chapter of life and proving everyone wrong.
Ashley Jensen stars as a London PR executive who moves to the Cotswolds village of Carsley and quickly finds herself solving local murders, in adaptations of M.C. Beaton's novels. It has the same English village setting as Rosemary & Thyme, with a sillier sense of humour and a more chaotic heroine.
A young detective sergeant returns to the village of Wildemarsh, where her three aunts, all crime novelists, cannot resist helping with her cases. Its playful, storybook tone and pretty village setting will suit anyone who loves the lighter side of Rosemary & Thyme.
Mark Benton and Jo Joyner play an unlikely pair of private investigators solving crimes in and around Stratford-upon-Avon. The partnership between two very different people who become firm friends is a lot like the bond between Rosemary and Laura.
Sally Lindsay plays Jean White, an antiques dealer who moves to a village in the south of France to investigate her husband's mysterious death and stays to solve local crimes. Her expertise in antiques often helps her read a case, much as Rosemary's knowledge of plants does, and a fifth series has now been commissioned.
A former police detective turned cruise ship cabaret singer teams up with the ship's first officer to solve murders on board and around the Mediterranean. It swaps English gardens for sunny ports, but keeps the light touch and lovely scenery that make Rosemary & Thyme such easy viewing.
