Have any of you found Escape recently into old BBC Miniseries? [View All]

I think of all the great Jane Auston, Dickens and the Agatha Christie and P.D.James and others who provided the language for the great miniseries of the 20th Century on PBS.

I'm finding that anything about Dickens or World War's I and II are interesting me. I love the drama...it gets me out of all the newspaper/online political reading I do and gives me a good view on how folks might have "coped" during times of terrible stress. I find that seeing "fictional or biographical accounts" of people "COPING" helps me sleep at night without "nightmares of Bush and his RW Agenda and the deaths over LIEs in OUR NAME...with OUR Tax Money in Iraq, plus his other assaults on all sane "knowns" that we deal with every day.

I'm too tired after work and so much reading to get into too many political books these days...(even though I have a stack of all the progressive one's I've bought to support)...so, I go with the "visuals of the stuff from our past...some of which I'd seen but was too young to appreciate, and put on the "back burner," as "food for thought," or interesting for another time in the future. Somehow watching a big miniseries production is easier for me to deal with than to have to read these days.. maybe it's that I like the characters and dialog fleshed out for me in "living color." :D

Any have any old BBC/PBS Miniseries that you remember that you've watched recently that comforted or gave you a new insight into the trials of the times we live in?

Recommendations? :shrug:
