Why is British TV Drama popular?

British TV Drama continues to attract large viewing audiences- many of which watch programmes as a one-off at peak-time broadcasts: this provides evidence that we are not consuming all of our media, and that we are instead turning to YouTube or other online services for all of our media.
British Dramas such as Coronation Street and Lewis attracted audiences in excess of 12 Million viewers, with programmes such as Call the Midwife attrracting 8.71 Million viewers. Call the Midwife is a BBC period drama set in East London that has been shown from 2012 to the present. A medical drama in a series of episodes, the programme is one of the most popular nationwide.
I think TV Drama is popular for a number of reasons- firstly, people may be able to relate to certain incidents recreated in the programmes, although they are often over-dramaticsed, or just find them exciting or entertaining. The programmes may form some kind of distraction from other activities and become part of a daily routine for many people nationwide.
