This guy is garbage.

This is depressing, and this guy is the worst.

William hasn't seen Hammond in 8yrs, but last book he was at the man's house for his brother's engagmednt dinner. Whoops. Slight hiccup in plot there, I guess it counts cause they didnt talk.

This show was never on time and run chaotically, but lets get pissed at Cybil cause she's pregnant with twins. Of all the things that went wrong thats a problem?

Checking this out.

starting this

Hmm, I’ve never thought of 1994’s Little Women as a Christmas movie but this book makes a great case for it. Best version of Little Women ever done, hands down. And yes it’s 1001 times better than the 2019 version directed by Greta Gerwig.

They’ve included Die Hard!

It’s amazing that many of these Christmas classics, staples of holiday film, were box office bombs or not released during the actual Christmas holiday season.

Why include a photo of 1995’s Pride & Prejudice when it’s not an original production of Masterpiece? I mean they rebroadcast the series like twelve or thirteen years after it premiered on A&E stateside. I call bull shit.

The best photo for Sherlock they found was the region 2 dvd cover? Are you fucking series?

The few photos are left to be viewed at the end of the book. Wouldn’t it have been more practical, and more visually appealing, to have the photos on the pages were the programs/actors were discussed. Like we’re talking Downton Abbey here’s the text and a photo. I don’t know about this layout they got going here.

Ah, Prime Suspect is in the Mystery section. Makes sense.

Can we really consider The Collection or the excellent recent adaptation of Howard’s End true blue Masterpiece programs? I mean Howard’s End first aired on Starz then a year later on Masterpiece. The Collection was exclusive to Amazon Prime for like two years I think. Hmm.

Weird that while they are listing all the programs, at least till publication of this book, they don’t mention all the Sharpe films, or even all the Prime Suspect.

I’m that person I know, but I just gotta point out for the 2007-2008 season they just say The Complete Jane Austen. Like no, they were all separate movies. You had Persuasion, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, and the miniseries Sense & Sensibility. They premiered for the first time (originally aired on A&E) Emma starring Kate Beckinsale, and 1995’s Pride & Prejudice.

I see they are putting the big names for this cast list, but they leave out Miranda Richardson for The Lost Prince and Gillian Anderson for Bleak House.

And again they forget to put Kelley Hawes’ name in the cast list for Wives & Daughters. Two strikes. I know they limiting the cast list to three, but come on now.

How dare they forget to add Kelley Hawes to the cast of 1998s Our Mutual Friend.
