BBC - Little Dorrit
1 recommendation
"I'm all about Masterpiece Theater. Their adaptations of the classics usually blow the Hollywood ones out of the water. This, though I'm not familiar w. the book, is no exception. It's a sprawling Dickens tale. They say it's a rags to riches story. It has a touch mystery and suspense as well. And romance of course. I'm a old-time drama freak."

"So you've seen the slums of India in Slumdog Millionaire. Now it's time to see the beauty of this country in this HD journey along the river Ganges through the heart of India. Simply gorgeous."
Galapagos [Blu-ray]

"I've always wanted to go here. I saw a film on IMAX years ago on the Galapagos and it was so cool, so I would assume this would be also, especially since its done by BBC."
Belle & Sebastian: The BBC Sessions
1 recommendation
"Somehow I was 3 weeks late on buying this album and I regret that my clumsiness made me sacrifice those extra days of listening to this. It's probably not the catchiest thing they've got out, but it's an absolute essential for Belle & Sebastian fans."

Christine Zander ("Saturday Night Live") is set to write the script and will exec produce along with the BBC's Ian Moffet and original series creator Saunders. Fox has given Sony a script order with hefty penalty attached. The latest attempt at a U.S. rendition of "Ab Fab" will be transplanted to L.A. but..."
"Sense and Sensibility" (2008)
1 recommendation
"I. Love. This. Movie. It's sooo much better than the one with Hugh Grant. I'm sure there are things unlike the movie, but I can let that go because everything from the settings to the costumes are just majestic. Plus, it's Austen...hard to go wrong."

Amazon: Wallace & Gromit: The First Three Adventures (1990-1995) by Aardman Animation
1 recommendation
"A smart dog and his disaster-prone human are the heroes of these unlikely adventures, along with a few sheep. The clever claymation are what give these characters such incredible dimension and hilarity. Having seen the first of these adventures at the Film Forum on a lark, I was a quick convert to the fan club of Aardman Animation."

"its like listening to a mix tape but its all the same band."
Robin Hood - Season One
1 recommendation
"You don't have to be a BBC hound to love the BBC version of Robin Hood. In fact, I kind of hate a lot of BBC stuff. But Robin Hood? Is very extremely excellent work. Once in awhile the writers haul of with a clunky pop reference (such as the utterance "I shot the sheriff," to which the sheriff replies "no, you shot the deputy), but this is to be forgiven. Sexy, speedy, funny, smart. Watch it."
Life on Mars - Season 2
1 recommendation
"I can't believe that f*&cker David R. Kelly bought the rights to this and they are remaking it for ABC this fall. Don't fall prey to what surely will be a bastardization! Get the original! Life on Mars is one of the best shows ever. It only went for two seasons, and they were spectacular. You need to get this 2nd and final season. I adore John Simms who plays Sam Tyler! And Philip Glenister who p..."
Torchwood - The Complete First Season
3 recommendations
"Torchwood and Doctor Who are the absolute best shows on tv. I know many would argue that that honor currently belongs to Battlestar Galatica (which I do like a lot) but I disagree. When I was first introduced to the character of Captain Jack Harkness in Season 1 of Doctor Who he rather annoyed me. I never saw how I would ever come to like this character. Let me tell you, Captain Jack rocks! Whi..."

Doctor Who - The Complete Third Series
1 recommendation
"David Tenant (swoon....be still my heart!) contines his run as the Doctor in Season 3 of my most favorite show of all time! Freema Agyeman is his new companion, Martha Jones (she is also a doctor, although an Earth type of doctor). For those who grew to know and love the character of Rose Tyler (played by the wonderful Bilie Piper) as the Doctor's companion it would seem she would be hard to repla..."
Doctor Who - The Complete Second Series
1 recommendation
"Swoon, David Tenant, the 10th Doctor Who (who takes over in Season 2 from Christopher Eccleston who plays the Doctor in Season 1) is my new boyfriend! One of the brilliant things that the creators of Doctor Who did back in the day when they created the series, was to build in the fact that the Doctor may need to regenerate once in a while (such as if he's near death) and when he is regenerated he ..."
Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series
2 recommendations
""This astonishing 11-part BBC series is brilliantly narrated by Sir David Attenborough and sensibly organized so that each 50-minute episode covers a specific geographical region and/or wildlife habitat (mountains, caves, deserts, shallow seas, seasonal forests, etc.) until the entire planet has been magnificently represented by the most astonishing sights and sounds you'll ever experience from th..."
The Life of Birds
2 recommendations
"I love birds. I think they are beautiful, smart and just amazing. However you do not need to be a bird lover to enjoy this amazing documentary by Sir David Attenborough. I find most fascinating the crows using tools to get food (although I admit I love crows so I might be a bit partial)."
The Blue Planet - Seas of Life Collector's Set (Parts 1-4)
4 recommendations
"Blue Planet: Seas of Life is possibly the best nature documentary series I have ever seen. Costing over $10 million and narrated by the superb David Attenborough, Blue Planet travels the Earth's oceans and captures some truly spectacular footage from the deep benthic depths to the open pelagic ecosystems to tropical reefs and polar environments. It is AWESOMELY done and is the sort of dream pro..."
Life On Mars: Series 1 [2006]
1 recommendation
"This is one of my fav. tv shows ever. I caught Season 1 on BBC America and Season 2 is now airing over in the UK. In short the premise is detective Sam Tyler is involved in a car crash and awakens in 1973. You are actually never quite sure if he is actually in 1973 or if he is in a coma. This show is so well done. I'm usually good at guessing what is going to happen on shows, but this one keeps me..."

"A fantastic series from the BBC in which Ambassador to Washington Mark Brydon (played by Jason Isaacs) finds his skills tested to the limits when, following a major diplomatic incident, he is thrust into a web of tangled relationships and conflicting interests. In a world of high stakes, where manipulation of information means ultimate power, the question is: who can he trust? An intriguing pol..."

"We saw this series on the BBC recently and it was just wonderful. Smitten by music hall life, and by the beautiful male impersonator Kitty Butler (Keeley Hawes), Nan Astley (Rachael Stirling) leaves her family’s Whitstable oyster parlor and follows her heart to London. There she finds unimaginable joy—and misery—as she explores the secret side of fin de siècle life. This is one of the best BBC ..."
