BBC have been doing a great show called Great American Railroad Journeys really interesting, I've not been able to watch them all but the ones I have watched are good.
Since tonight is the big night for the movie, I've been trying to find all of the episodes to put into a playlist. Hard to find them all in English, as it was made into so many different languages (originally French), but this should give you a good feel into what I'm watching, and will share with my kids.
BL.

Just finished The Bureau, Season 1 - fabulous ... anxiously awaiting Season 2 to show up in iTunes.

Omigosh! [pant! pant!] The air is so much clearer here.
I must get out of PRSI more often.
Anyway. I'm going with the oldies. Watching Get Smart.
I'm waiting for the episode with the children's book entitled (as best I can remember) "The Horse That Couldn't, the Owl That Wouldn't, and the P**** That Wanted To".
I can't believe they slipped that by the censors.

A well-done, enjoyable show. Not the kind of thing that's going to win any awards, but good solid entertainment.
Just finished The Duchess of Duke Street. It was originally aired on the BBC in the mid-seventies. Watched the first season of two as a Prime perk. Although there were a couple of 'soft' episodes (the main character had little to no involvement), I appreciated the show enough to purchase the DVD set, which included both seasons (31 episodes, approx 50" each). The setting is mainly in London, between 1900 to 1925.
The main character, Mrs. Trotter, is the most attractive female portrayal I've ever seen, as far as I can remember. (Similar spirit to some of Katherine Hepburn's roles.) Trotter was born to the poor side of the tracks but is self-driven to overcome her poverty. Driven to say the least; she's a force. She doesn't waste much time complaining about her circumstances. She attacks life to the best of her ability so as to set her own course. She gets help along the way and in her own no-nonsense way appreciates it. But mostly, she is the one who is looked to, whether by commoner or peer, both as a life giving force and as someone to admire. The actress who plays Mrs. Trotter, Gemma Jones, performs brilliantly. I needed captions for the show because of some thick accents, especially hers. The supporting characters do their jobs well enough, sometimes excellently, but Gemma Jones/Mrs. Trotter is the show.
Well-written, character driven entertainment. Serious, but with many smile inducing moments. There's adult level content in the show. Subject matter that is, not nudity. Those with youngsters about should pre-screen the show for its appropriateness.

I don't really know how I feel about this show, but perhaps my lack of familiarity with the source material is partly to blame. I'm more interested in Victor Frankenstein than the other characters and their plots. There's so much sex and interchanging couples that if you find yourself wishing two characters would get together, odds are, they'll hook up eventually. Dorian Gray seems to be the victorian Don Draper; he f***s everybody.
Just recently finished the original run of Arrested Development, now I'm starting on Netflix's reboot...and it's good.
