    Cast and crew look ahead to ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ S3

    Looking more and more like reality than a fictional British drama, All Creatures Great and Small, the 1930s-set show based on the beloved novels by veterinarian James Herriot (the pen name of Alf Wight) is edging closer and closer to the brink of World War 2. Towards the end of series 2, which wrapped this past Sunday […]

    Set against the backdrop of a swinging sixties London we haven’t seen: an East End world where far right fascism is on the rise, Ridley Road tells the story of Vivien Epstein (Aggi O’Casey), a young Jewish woman who after falling in love with a member of the ‘62 Group’, rejects her comfortable middle-class life in Manchester and joins the fight against fascism in London, risking everything for her beliefs and for the man she loves.

    ‘Julia’ with Sarah Lancashire and David Hyde Pierce heads to the streaming kitchen beginning March 31

    Quickly making her way into Nicola Walker, Suranne Jones and Bill Nighy territory in my book, Sarah Lancashire (Happy Valley, Last Tango in Halifax) is headed to the kitchen in the forthcoming HBO Max series, Julia. Lancashire will portray the legendary television chef and cookery writer, Julia Child. Given this might border on what some will […]

    Before We Die (Innan vi dör), the Swedish thriller from Walter Presents, is following in the footsteps of the Belgian series, Professor T, having been adapted in English and heading to PBS beginning Sunday, March 20. While I am typically not the biggest fan of remakes as they rarely, if ever, live up to the original version, the English version […]

    ‘The Electrical Life of Louis Wain’ brings together stars of ‘Sherlock’ and ‘The Crown’

    For me, there are times when a simple leap of faith to see a movie in which you are unfamiliar with the subject matter is based solely the fact that it’s British. That, and casting. For me, such is the case of the recently released, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain. Being unfamiliar with Wain […]

    PBS is your Sunday night home for the best in British drama in 2022!

    As we begin to close the books on 2021, no one will argue that the last two years have been, let’s just say, a bit rough. Aside from the catastrophic and devastating effects of a worldwide pandemic, UK drama and comedy output suffered greatly as a result of a lengthy countrywide production shutdown. Fortunately, while […]
