Favourite Mini-Series / Drama Serial

[DanaC]

Three more awesome mini series -

1st up an oldie, but one that completely wowed me and my whole family when the original two parter aired. We also watched the follow up series - but the two parter was like nothing I'd ever seen before.

Oh yes - it's the classic V

Here's an excellent fanmade trailer for the original miniseries:



Never got on with the remake, sadly. Thought it lacked heart.

Next up - not as old, but realy rocked my little world:

Blackpool, a sort of partly musical drama starring practically every excellent actor currently working on Brit tv :P

Not many clips available, and only of the songs, not really much in the way of the ordinary dialogue:

David Morrisey - small time business entrepeneur and criminal type. David Tennant the detective investigating a murder - and also having an affair with Morrisey's wife.




They tried a remake (Viva Laughlin) less said about that the better :P



Finally - another David Tennant one - the BBC's awesome miniseries Casanova. Tennant playing the young Casanova, and the late great Peter O'Toole at his dissolute, charming best as the elderly Casanova, recounting tales of his despicable youthful exploits.

And Casanova comes to England:
