Acorn TV
Harry Wild was perhaps the least likely series to be a breakout hit for Acorn TV. Starring Jane Seymour, a British actress best known for her role as an American in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, this extremely formulaic cozy mystery did not seem like it was primed for take-off,

David Attenborough was already an institution unto himself when he was originally knighted in 1985 after his groundbreaking documentary series Life series became a breakout hit on the BBC and PBS in the early 1980s.
