On reading through Vanity Fair yesterday, I came across a blurb about a Shakespeare...something...that BBC America is beginning in August, of a series of modernized TV movies. I've seen Much Ado About Nothing, set in a TV studio; not bad, but not great either. Apparently Rufus Sewell and Shirley Henderson are in The Taming of the Shrew, as well. On further investigation on the BBC America website, I found absolutely nothing about this Shakespeare festival, but I found out that they are currently airing both Spaced and Black Books! It would be rapture, if only we had cable at home... Spaced plays at 11pm on Fridays and Mondays, and Black Books at midnight on Saturdays and Tuesdays (as far as I can tell); looks like Green Wing might also air eventually as well. I also found a page on Dylan Moran himself, and if you don't know who he is, you need to go find out. Now.
Here's something to get you started:
Dylan Moran live in 1997
- Meg
- Jewelry designer, bookworm, semi-closeted sci fi freak. I like semiprecious stones, all things Tolkien, wines under $15, and mint. I have a twin brother; yes, we are telepathic (don't you know that all twins are?).
