five thousand shades of blue

Wednesday, June 27, 2001

Tonight (as they say, check local listings), PBS will be airing part one of the excellent BBC miniseries Gormenghast, which I had opportunity to view on videotape some months back. It's based on the first two books of the Titus Groan trilogy by Mervyn Peake, and is, according to friends who have read the books, a faithful adaptation, and the casting is incredible. It's excellent and highly recommended; I personally plan to tape both parts on SP speed.

The website's pretty cool too, for learning more about Peake, his work, and what Gormenghast is about.
