Finally! Foyle’s War is returning to PBS in May with new episodes! VE Day has been celebrated in Foyle’s world, but war and mystery are not over in these three new episodes!
If you remember, the “brains” at ITV canceled Foyle’s War, but then decided that was a mistake, but then the economy flubbed and the [...]

I continued to enjoy the latest adaptation of Emma; thank goodness for low expectations! I’d like to watch the un-cut version of the show before really passing judgment, but this adaptation was better than what we were subjected to two years ago.
It’s not perfect, but they did add some touching scenes between Emma and her [...]

Tonight I finally got around to watching part one of the new adaptation of the Emma that is airing on PBS. After the disastrous Austen adaptations we were subjected to in early 2008, my expectations for this adaptation were very low. But one of the advantages of low expectations, is that it’s easier to enjoy [...]

Did you know that Mr. Darcy, gentleman that he was, was really a menace. This YouTube video proves it. Well, it proves the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice does have an interesting sub-text when remixed a bit. The narration on this video is a little forced, but it is interesting how many images from [...]

Foyle’s War had barely faded from the TV screen this evening when my phone rang: “I can’t believe it’s over!” a depressed voice wailed into my ear. During the airing of tonight’s episode of Foyle’s War, PBS said this was the last episode. That was the plan at one point, but may no longer be [...]
