The Durrells fans loved being whisked away from British blizzards to sun-drenched Greece

The Durrells returned to ITV for a third series of sun-drenched whimsy on Sunday night – and it was just what many viewers needed to get through an evening of snowy blizzards in the UK.

Set in Corfu, the show has become a form of escapism for some fans, who were overjoyed to see it returning to screens.

• Follow in the footsteps of The Durrells and discover Corfu’s unspoilt north-east coast
• Keeley Hawes and The Durrells clan reveal all about their own animals

Not only did Corfu look tempting, but so did Sri Lanka – with The Good Karma Hospital airing straight afterwards on ITV...
