Wow, what a great movie. Nobody does Shakespeare quite like Kenneth Branaugh!

I liked him in the Kurt Wallander series he was very moody and true to the books.

Hi everyone, its been awhile

I watched Marie Lloyd through youtube, it was good but I've seen a lot much better or great

I found there when I do a search for a BBC film etc a lot of others come up so they are in my watchlist.

I noticed Lilies was there so I'll be watching that at a later date.

I have bookmarked at youtube: Moll Flanders, Sweet Land 2005, High Spirits, The last September, Absolute Hell with Judi Dench.

The Paradise Season 2 was there a few weeks back, then it was deleted, now it looks like it may be back tho I haven't clicked on it.

I bought myself a Roku for Christmas, trying to get away from Direct TV.

Anyway I did the subscription to Acorn/BBC it wasn't that much, less than $10 maybe 4.99 a month. They do need to add more programming tho because I have watched a lot of them.

I recommend "New Tricks" I can't remember if I watched that on Acorn TV or Hulu, Alun Armstrong is in that with a great cast, I was buying the DVD's from the UK up to season 5 so now I can watch thru the Roku.

I watched about 4 episodes of Upstairs Downstairs, its great! The actress who plays that guys mother steals the show, she's terrific

I can recommend "London Hospital/Casualties 1900" also

One thing I like about Roku is I can watch some of the USA series I never watched, I watched some of "America Horror Story" I love that, viewed about 4 of them, Jessica Lange is great!

It's going back quite a few years, though has had a fairly recent re-run on BBC4, but one of my all time favourites is I, Claudius.

The line up of actors is marvellous.

Thanks! Are they making another "Garrows Law"? I've seen the 3 of them maybe 4.

Shadowline was more than great!

Watched the Escape Artist, the main actor in that I've seen in a USA TV show and D I can't remember what is was.

The 1981 Day of the Triffids is being shown on Sundays on BBC Four at the moment, two episodes at a time. A great series:

BBC iPlayer - The Day of the Triffids - Episode 1
BBC iPlayer - The Day of the Triffids - Episode 2
