vivdunstanOver the last few weeks we have been rewatching the BBC’s 1999 TV version of Elizabeth Gaskell’s unfinished novel Wives and Daughters. Really good book, well adapted. Martin is watching it as if for the first time - he can’t remember anything of the 1999 previous watch. Michael Gambon was incredibly strong in tonight’s episode. I was also amusing myself by spotting actors who’d been in Doctor Who too.
Next up on our rewatch is probably going to be the 2005 David Tennant / RTD version of Casanova. Well I say rewatch. It will be for me. Martin hasn’t seen it! We have it in digital form from iTunes which is 2 x 90 ish minute episodes. I think I can probably manage those this weekend and next, before my 7th Covid vaccine triggers probably a terrible neurological flare, wiping me out again. I remember Murray Gold’s music being gorgeous in it. But never released separately I think. Like Doctor Who New Series 10 still - grumble grumble.
