Au contraire, mon ami, the little detective is Belgian, but the show, she generally is in Britain...No no no, mon ami. Albert Finney was the best Poirot. And besides, Poirot ain’t a British mystery show, it is Belgian.
I wouldn’t say that to them.
Aussies refer to English as 'pommies' or just 'poms'.
Does seem odd to me that the Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is included in a list of British Murder Mysteries, as the series was made and set in Australia and the central character was born there. She was born and spent her childhood in a suburb of Melbourne, moving to England during WW I, when her father inherited a title (all the other male heirs were killed) and later returning to Australia.Miss Fisher's is referred to as British here, set in 1920's Melbourne.
Looks like Australia officially divorced from the crown in 1986, so we're just coming around to discovering this, but I was in Britain in the 60's as well as other family in England/Scotland and at the time there was a huge distinction between being English and British, British being all else besides within the Commonwealth, and not always a flattering distinction there, but better here, British cars/bikes, British Invasion ;[]
Even more confusing, while the Isles remained British, actual Britons would look more like this.
I was born in Wales, back in 46 and we never noticed any distinction between English and British. All of us born in what is now more commonly called the United Kingdom, considered ourselves British. To be honest, we never saw those born in Commonwealth countries to be British, although technically they were.Miss Fisher's is referred to as British here, set in 1920's Melbourne.

I discovered Death in Paradise a few months ago. I was trying to find something worth watching to avoid all of the crap in politics, sports, media, et al these days. It was a fun escape. Tho I think it lost its magic with the last couple of guys. It's weird how everyone eventually leaves that show. Except Harry, I guess. He'll be the lone survivor.
