In this installment of British Clack, we look at the 2005 British miniseries ‘Bleak House’ and why it’s the best of the many adaptations of Dickens the BBC has done in recent years. If you liked ‘Pride and Prejudice’ and ‘Downton Abbey,’ you should give this one a try!
Are you a Whovian? Do you believe in ‘Sherlock’? Nuts for ‘Top Gear’? A-flutter over ‘Downton Abbey’? What British TV show (sorry, telly programme) has you hooked?
The latest releases include ‘Downton Abbey,’ ‘Geek Charming,’ ‘Hell’s Kitchen,’ ‘Father Dowling,’ ‘Materpiece Classic,’ ‘Rocko’s Modern Life,’ ‘Mickey Mouse,’ ‘Curious George,’ ‘New Tricks,’ ‘Six Feet Under,’ ‘CSI,’ ‘La Fuerza Del Destino,’ ‘Laramie,’ ‘Bizarre Foods,’ ‘Brontes Of Haworth,’ ‘Northern Lights,’ and ‘Lost Gold of the Dark Ages’.
This Christmas, we were gifted with two finales of British shows that had rocky seasons. And while the ‘Merlin’ finale was naughty, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t take a look at ‘Downton Abbey’ and figure out how to be nice.
A big list this week includes ‘Doctor Who’, ‘Downton Abbey’, ‘Skins’, ‘Greek’, ‘Ben 10′, ‘Hot In Cleveland’, ‘ER, ‘Rules Of Engagement’, ‘Funny Or Die’, ‘Spin City’, ‘Adam-12′, ‘All In The Family’, Sordid Lives’, and ‘The Universe’.
