NEW BRITISH INVASION!

2/8/2013

0 Comments

 
As an Anglophile, It's exciting to see the U.S. going gaga over Britain's Downton Abbey.  Even people who don't watch Downton are aware of the television series.  A year ago, the number of British programs airing on NYC's local PBS stations was slim, but now, during prime-time, Brit shows are popping up like mushrooms.  DCI Banks, Lark Rise in Candleford, Pie in the Sky, Death in Paradise, Shakespeare Uncovered.  A new British Invasion, I say!  And you understand, dear Anglophiles, we are on the forefront of this cultural phenomenon....

I heartily thank my local PBS stations, WNET and WLIW, for listening to viewers' choices, and I hope that all of us who watch these channels dutifully make our contributions.  Is your local PBS station showing an uptick in British programming?  I hope so!

In the video below, the Downton cast talks about encountering fans across the world.

I love hearing the Downton cast give behind-the-scene comments.  Here,  Elizabeth McGovern chats about her character "Cora."  (If you've not seen Season 3, Episode 5, then do not watch this video!  SPOILER ALERT!

Below, the Downton cast talks about the arrival of Cora's mother (Shirley MacLaine) to Downton in Season 3, Episode 1.  (SPOILER ALERT here, too!)

The series Murder in Paradise was a complete surprise for me--and a lovely one, too!  A London detective on a Caribbean island...what an interesting twist.  The video below is a short promo.

Peter Robinson, author of the DCI Banks books, chats about his famous creation.  The TV show DCI Banks, based on his books, is one of the best British detective series I've ever watched--and that is saying a lot!
