I love peroid dramas and was running out of ones to watch. I didn't see this at the time because I was only 8 years old, but I stumbled across it recently and ordered it.
The plot follows the lifes of the residents of Middlemarch through weddings, deaths and scandals.
Well infused with humour, mainly provided by Mr Brooke and his hopes for election.
Rufus Sewell (Will Ladislaw) is amazing as the romantic lead, giving Mr Darcy a run for his money! Juliet Aubrey also plays the gentle, sweet Dorothea Brooke perfectly.
Two of my favourite characters were Fred and Mary.
The romance of the Doctor and his wife is bittersweet and again the actors are fantastic.
The Yorkshire Dales and the warm company of Helen, James, Siegfried, et.al. is more than enough for the serious nostalgic. The splendour is in more than the scenery and the circumstances; together they weave a wondrous atmosphere of pre-war innocence that is appealing and appreciated. Be transported beyond the cares of worldly discomfort as the Dales envelop the mind and the soul in blissful delight. Journey back with James and be rejuvenated.
Because Gulliver is not only a story for little children, but at the same time a very ironical satire on social conditions, also adult viewers will find their pleasure. Who has a little insight into a psychological point of view, will moreover discover, that in the gigantic Gulliver, with whom the childlike spectator of course identifies himself at the first meeting, - that this Gulliver helps to become resistant against every nasty surroundings, which will happen to us in our lifetime, using a fantasy-based, satirical technique of making bad things small and unimportant! Swift gives a therapeutically example for children (always being the smaller ones, helpless, powerless at the lower rank of the social influence scale) how to make a wonderful ... Read More:

When I first saw this adaptation for TV in the 1980s, I thought it was a fantastic recreation of M M Kaye's epic story of Anjuli and Ash which I had read some years previously. However, having recently reread the book, and followed it up with this DVD, I have to admit that this time round it fell well short of my expectations.
My first gripe is that the story has been changed quite a lot, so that first quarter of the book, dealing with Ash's early life, is covered in the opening credits plus a couple of flashbacks. Additionally, instead of keeping his background quiet, Ash now spouts off about it to virtually everyone he meets, which changes his character somewhat. And thirdly, the book has the Afghan war as the final scene, whereas ... Read More:

One of the greatest movies ever made and certainly one of the most influential.With many memorable images and scenes,'King Kong' has stood the test of time no matter what the modern audience might think.This fantastic movie was made in 1933 and when you take this into account the effects are nothing short of amazing.Is it perfect?Well,the dialogue can be cheesy,the acting can be hammy and the close up of Kong's face never really convinces.But so what?This truly deserves to be the legend it is simply because it is the greatest fantasy film ever.Yes,'Lord Of The Rings' or 'Wizard Of Oz' are also marvels of cinema but for me it is Kong that stands above them all,the king of the movie world.
I love this television series. We still see it here in the US in the San Francisco Bay Area on KTEH channel 54, San Jose, on Saturday nights at 8:00 pm. With all the violence and mediocrity on television these days, it's wonderful seeing this intelligent and touching series from another era. Christopher Timothy, Robert Hardy, and Peter Davison are marvellous and demonstrate their talents as both dramatic and comedic actors. It's an excellent series for the entire family and highly recommended for anyone who hasn't had a chance to watch it. I hope it will be available on DVD before too long.
