Bleak House

Well! I've just finished watching Bleak House, the last episode of which I recorded last night. It's been on Masterpiece Theatre on PBS for the past six weeks. Nothing to be said, except that it was absolutely brilliant. Star turns from Gillian Anderson as Lady Dedlock, Charles Dance as Mr. Tulkinghorn, and Phil Davis as Smallweed. In fact, the whole cast was excellent. Who knew that Johnny Vegas could act?!?

Yes, BH is a fantastic miniseries. The acting is unbelievable. But can you believe my local PBS station (Raleigh, N.C.'s UNC-TV) pre-empted the final episode for a fundraising drive!? I cannot believe how disappointed I was. I'm trying to get the dvd from Netflix. Thanx for not giving away the ending!

What?!? Pre-empted for fundraising? That's astonishing. But surely they will repeat the final episode on your local station over the next week? I pick up PBS from both Boston and Detroit, and both those channels repeat Sunday night's episodes at some point the following week. There may yet be hope!

Thanks for your comment. I looked at your blog and now I'm starving!! LOL
