I watch British Mini-series based on classic literature ('95, movies, books)

and people make fun of me. I mean those things with the guys in wigs and all the manners. Are there any more of you our there?

There are lots of us!! Most of those miniseries are better than the majority of Hollywood's movies. To me the BBC Pride and Prejudice is 100 times more enjoyable than the weird Keira Knightley version with pigs in the house. That director didn't even read the book!

I love literary adaptations and costume dramas. For a while my Netflix queue was packed with them.

Mine is packed with them. What I find interesting is how times have changed, the rules have changed, but people really haven't.

While not quite 'literary' I have recently been watching the Wooster and Jeeves series produced by the BBC (staring a very young Stephen Fry and and Hugh Laurie).

Not only funny (based, of course, on the books by Wodehouse), but amazing recreation of the UK and USA in the early 1920s.

I try to catch them whenever I can .I could care less of what others think.

Period pieces. I love them all.

Emma starring Romola Garai was good.

LOVE them all on PBS!!! I don't think I've missed a series in the past decade. My daughter is now 21 and she has also always watched them. So, I don't think it is age related. They are all wonderful!

Absolutely. These and classic movies are the only DVD's I'll buy. I watch Pride & Prejudice '95 , Wives & Daughters, Forsyte Sage remain in heavy rotation.
