Great Expectations + Public Enemies

2 recent drama mini-series.


Great Expectations.....it's been 30 years since the BBC produced the 12-hour epic of the Dickens novel and nearly 13 years since their movie version, so it was time for another generational take on it. Starring Ray Winstone, Gillian Anderson, Douglas Booth, David Suchet and several other very familiar faces. This will turn up in the U.S. on PBS Masterpiece this Spring.

Public Enemies...."Three-part drama, created by Tony Marchant, exploring the relationship between a convicted murderer, released after serving 10 years in prison, and his probation officer."
