Looking for your next romance binge? I recommend 3 BritBox series that will make you swoon

If you're in search of a new romance binge to sink your teeth into, look no further than these three charming BritBox series. First up, The Other Bennet Sister offers a fresh take on the classic Jane Austen tale, focusing on Mary Bennet, Jane's often overlooked middle sister. Ella Bruccoleri delivers a heartfelt performance as Mary ventures from her sisters' shadow to Regency London to find love, with the assistance of two eligible suitors—Thomas Hayward and William Ryder.

Next, venture into contemporary romance with the BAFTA-winning drama Last Tango in Halifax. Derek Jacobi and Anne Reid star as Alan and Celia, two septuagenarian widowers who reconnect and rekindle a passionate relationship after 60 years apart, thanks to their grandchildren's meddling on social media. Critics have praised the series for its charming, sweet story and marvellous performances, earning an impressive 94% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Lastly, immerse yourself in the 19th-century Victorian setting of North and South. Based on Elizabeth Gaskell's novel, this four-part drama follows Margaret Hale, a young woman from rural England's south who moves to the industrial North with her family. There, she clashes with the mill workers and their cotton-mill owner, John Thornton, before their antagonistic relationship slowly turns into mutual attraction.

With standout performances from an all-star cast including Richard Armitage and Lesley Manville, North and South offers a captivating look at class dynamics and social divides against a sumptuous backdrop of Victorian society.
